These soldiers perform tasks specifically suited for them &#8211; tasks that are entirely different in their nature.<\/p>\n<p>A key difference between cadets and servicemen is that they never undergo their training at the same place. KDF has special places for training these two groups of soldiers. For instance, cadets undergo their military training at the Kenya Military Academy (KMA) located in Nakuru city.<\/p>\n<p>Servicemen who are the majority undergo their training at the Recruits Training School (RTS) located in Eldoret city. Another difference is the period it takes for them to complete their course. Cadets take 3 years to complete while servicemen take 9 months after which they pass out. In their future military work, cadets become senior military officers who lead others to make the KDF successful.<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: PoliticalMedia (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
