(3) Persons who become liable for training at a later age than eighteen years will be required to possess such higher standard of development as may be reasonably expected for their age.
(4) The above standards are prescribed as a guide to medical officers when examining Senior Cadets and others for enrolment in the Citizen Forces, but discretionary power will be exercised in special cases provided that there exists a proper correlation of age, height, weight, and chest measurement.
In examining a recruit’s vision he will be placed with his back to the light, and his visual acuteness will be tested by means of test types (C.M. Forms, D 15 A and B), placed in ordinary day light, at a distance of 6 metres (20 English feet) from the recruit.
(2) Each eye will be tested separately—
(
a ) If a recruit can read D = 24 at 20 feet, or better, with each eye without glasses, he will be considered “fit.”(
b )If he can read D = 6 at the same distance with the right eye without glasses, and not less than D = 60 with the other eye without glasses, he will be considered “fit.”(
c ) If he can read D = 6 at the above distance with the left eye without glasses, and not less than D = 60 with the other eye without glasses, he will be considered “fit” for the A.S.C., A.M.C., A.O.C., and drivers of the Artillery and Engineers.The foregoing is the standard test of vision for all arms of the service.

(4) Inability to distinguish the principal colours will not be regarded as a cause for rejection, but the fact will be noted in the report and the candidate will be informed.
(5) Defective vision, requiring constant aid of glasses, affirmed by the medical authority, will be considered a cause of rejection.
Students whose time is wholly or substantially devoted to instruction in duties as a minister of religion, or to such duties combined with that of school teaching, while they remain such students, but shall, on ceasing to be such students, unless otherwise exempt, undergo training equivalent to that from which they have been exempt.
(2) The District Commandant may require a certificate in writing from the head of the theological institution or religious denomination before granting such exemption.
(3) Such persons may, on ceasing to be eligible for exemption from training, be allotted to a unit for training, but shall, if they so desire, be permitted to perform non-combatant duties.

b ) to be of notoriously bad character.
(2) At an educational institution
at which a Senior Cadet detachment is established, the annual quota of students
becoming liable for training in each year in the Citizen Forces and found “fit”
shall be allotted to an extra-territorial unit, or to an Infantry Battalion
(either that of the area in which the institution is located, or that of the
area in which such students reside, as arranged with the Principal of the
institution). With this unit of the Militia Forces they shall attend for
continuous training, but they shall attend all other drills required by section
127 (
and a monthly record of such attendances shall be submitted by the Principal of the institution to the Commanding Officer of the Militia Unit to which they are allotted.

Provided that, in the case of those allotted to the Artillery and Engineer arms of the Military Forces, and to units of the Army Service Corps allotted to those arms, the training shall be twenty-five whole-day drills, or their equivalent, of which not less than seventeen shall be in camps of continuous training.
Provided also that in the Citizen Forces the duration of a whole-day drill shall be not less than six hours, of a half-day drill not less than three hours, and of a night drill not less than one hour and a half.
(2) Commanding Officers or their representatives will issue such notices quarterly one month in advance. All such quarterly programs will be approved by the District Commandant.
(3) Attendance shall be compulsory at parades which are specified in the program of parades as “compulsory,” and any member of the Citizen Forces who, being a person liable to be trained under Part XII. of the Defence Act, fails without lawful excuse to attend a compulsory drill called for the unit to which he belongs shall be liable to the penalty set forth in section 135 (1a) of the Act.
(4). Attendance at the Annual Camp of Continuous Training shall be compulsory, and any member of the Citizen Forces who, being a person liable to training under Part XII. of the Defence Act, fails without lawful excuse to attend the camp of continuous training for the full period prescribed for the unit to which he belongs, shall be liable to the penalty set forth in Section 135 (1a) of the Act.

(7) Attendance at these parades will count tor pay and efficiency in the same manner as compulsory parades, provided that a greater amount of pay per annum than that prescribed by Regulation 160 may not be drawn.
(8) Notwithstanding that alternative parades are allowed to count in lieu of compulsory parades for the purposes of pay and efficiency, attendance at such parades shall not relieve a member of the Citizen Forces from liability under Section 135 (1a) of the Act for absence without lawful excuse from a compulsory drill.
(9) The compulsory and alternative parades will be equally distributed as far as possible throughout the year.
(10) Extra parades for special reasons may be called by Commanding Officers, but such parades will not count towards pay and efficiency.

(2) Except as provided by Regulation 116, a member who has been granted leave, or for any other reason been not liable to be trained, or been temporarily exempted shall, in order to be classified as “efficient,” be only required to attend the amount of training prescribed by Section 127 of the Act less the total duration of the compulsory drills held for the unit to which he belongs during the period such member was on leave, not liable to be trained, or temporarily exempted.
(3) In addition to the attendance required by these regulations, each member of the Citizen Forces shall be required to attain a sufficient standard of proficiency and complete the prescribed course of musketry for his unit before being classified as “efficient.”
(4) In the event of range accommodation not being available, or for other unavoidable causes, the requirements in musketry may be waived by the District Commandant.

(3) The Boards should usually consist of officers of the unit, but other officers may be appointed if necessary.
(4) The procedure of the Boards is not limited, but they may determine by seeing the work of those to be classified, or by taking evidence, or of their own knowledge. Members who narrowly escape being marked “non-efficient” should be warned by the Boards, verbally or through their Squadron (or other unit) Commander. The determination is to be made solely on the result of the year’s work, except that in doubtful cases any matter of credit to the member occurring in a previous year may be brought to notice.
(5) The standard required should be based on the number of years’ training already performed by the member, the work carried out in the unit during the year, and the grade of proficiency that should be reached by a man of ordinary capacity giving proper attention to his work.
(6) Allowance should be made for those whose intelligence is less developed than the average, and for those who from illness or other sufficient cause have been unavoidably absent from part of the training.
(7) An officer or senior warrant or non-commissioned officer of the Squadron, Battery, or Company should be present to bring to notice of the Board any facts in favour of such members.
(

b )If not present at any substantial part of the training, so as to enable an opinion of their proficiency to be formed, but nevertheless having attended the compulsory parades, or their equivalent, while so subject to training, they may be entered as “Exempt,” under the words—“Efficient” and both these words
“Non-efficient” struck out.
(2) Those who are liable to train for only part of a year, and neglect to attend the compulsory parades, or their equivalent, held in that period, or show want of attention to duties, will be marked “Non-efficient.”
