While Lt(N) Romberg was himself never a cadet in the Canadian Cadet Program, however he is the son of a Canadian Army veteran who served with the First Hussars Regiment during and immediately after WW2, in Canada, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, and occupied Germany, before demobilizing after returning home to Canada in early 1946  and was later a branch president for 19 years in the Royal Canadian Legion, therefore Lt(N) Romberg was exposed since his mid teens to both community service, citizenship and the Canadian Military, and its associated heritage and history.   Lt(N) Romberg became involved with the Cadet Program when his son joined as a Sea Cadet in Mississauga back in the late 2000’s, and he himself enrolled in the Canadian Forces as an Officer Cadet with RCSCC Illustrious in Brampton, ON in 2009.
