Cadets also follow the same rate/rank structure, of their parent armed service, the Royal Navy and for Marine Cadets the Royal Marines. The Corps welcomes young people and adults of all abilities, within the bounds of safety to themselves and others, and actively seeks to widen the diversity of its membership.
