I was Told One standard "Universality of Service"
Universality of Service does not apply to COATS or the CIC as they are not required to operationally deploy.
Now for the difference;
COATS are positions created to support the Cadet movement that are filled by PRES and RegF members, these members do not need to meet the normal CF Medical Standards and they can even breach UoS.
CIC or Cadet Instructor Cadre, are the Officer Corps of the Cadet movement and are recruited by the various Cadet corps to work there. They are processed by the normal recruiting system however they have separate medical standards;
G404 is the max without a waiver from area command accepting responsibility (the "has a pulse and can breath standard", usually granted, although there are those that have been rejected)
Lots of people have been released 3B and then turned around and became CIC Officers to give back to such a great movement.
And for the other question regarding UoS;
UoS refers to the ability of every soldier, sailor, airmen to be deployed operationally at anytime. This can breached temporally, however once a breach becomes permanent it's 3B time.
On top of that, each trade has it's own specific medical standards that need to be met as well.
If you breach your trade but still meet UoS, the review board CAN re-trade you.
Can you tell I had my coffee this am
