I think that having spent at least some time in the "proper" .mil environment counts. So regulars, national service, Territorials or National Guard etc - where you have sworn the local military oath and hence "taken the shilling".

The school combined cadet force/ Sea Cadets/Army cadets probably does not really count though. You are not subject to the military there (ie not taken the shilling) - even the teachers who have had officer training are on a special reduced CCF type commission here in the UK (AFAIR).
