The only problem with this recruitment of cadets idea is twofold: command eligibility (fixed with an ICUS program); and if there is an ICUS program cadets will gain the experience in less than 2 years, pay their remaining bond out (if not already paid out after 2 years) and move on to greener pastures. Cadet programs alone wont solve the looming regional crisis ... $$$ and/or lifestyle will. Unfortunately both are being eroded away.
