CO’s Message
For those who weren’t present at last week’s training night, congratulations are in order for our new cadet promotions: WO2 Gowans was promoted from the rank of FSgt and WO1 Lett was promoted from the rank of WO2. In addition, 2Lt Nicolescu was promoted from the rank of OCdt. Congratulations to all!
Monday night is our usual optional training night with Drill Team practice for the first part of the evening and sports for the second part.
On Wednesday, we’ll have Lt Wilson out from 23 Squadron to act as Range Safety Officer for our marksmanship training night. Most of our cadets have been learning or reviewing proper conduct on the rifle range and have been familiarizing or re-familiarizing themselves with the cadet air rifle. It’s time to put all of this together and see how it works in practice.
Those cadets who have applied the IACE, GPS and PPS national-level courses have been given a list of additional documentation required. This all needs to be submitted by 15 Dec, so I would like to have them in by Wednesday at the latest. If you have any questions or concerns, please speak with me on Monday.
This Saturday, we’re participating in the Niagara-on-the-Lake Santa Claus Parade. We’ll be gathering at 1030 at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 124 in Niagara-on-the-Lake for an 1100 start and will be joined by 23 Squadron and their band. The town begins closing off streets around 1000 and so it is recommended that cadets be dropped off around 0930. We’ll have an officer there for supervision from 0900. Further details will be announced on Wednesday.
We’re still looking for three parent volunteers to help out as kitchen staff and servers for the Annual Mess Dinner. If you can help out, please sign up below.
