I think the real question here is whether or not you want to keep your DPM for airsoft use and have a set of CF combats (OD or otherwise) for cadet related activies. While it's more cost effective to have only one uniform to use for either, what do the majority of your peers have in the way of combats? It does make sense to have Cdn style combats, even if other CO's in the area don't care.
Speaking of which, are Sea Cadets not issued work dress anymore? I would've figured that's what you'd used if your unit dressed down. Who knows, maybe I'm old and they don't issue it anymore. Also, you've already invested quite a bit into your DPM kit (the Arktis Jungle Battle vest along is enough of an investment)...one set of CADPAT combats won't break the bank.
