CO’s Message

Good morning!

Last week, the senior cadets began supplementing our regular training with cooking activities and fitness. I had the opportunity to sit in on some of the cooking class and it appeared that the cadets were having a good time of it. I’m looking forward to hearing some MRE-related kitchen tales.

Congratulations to Sgt Forsyth, who sat the Glider Pilot Training Course Qualification Exam on Saturday. It’s been too long since the squadron has had a cadet with wings on their uniform, so we’re all excited to follow his progress as summer approaches.

I’m a bit concerned that cadets aren’t reading the WROs each week. It takes a fair bit of coordination to keep things running in a virtual environment and it doesn’t help when there’s a communications breakdown. To put out a couple of examples: We had some confusion with the cooking class on Monday where cadets were connecting to the Meet link for the Wednesday Training Night rather than the one that had been posted for the activity. We have also had circumstances where cadets were wearing an improper order of dress. Attendance is also a concern where cadets are either not signing into the attendance form or are failing to notify us when they cannot attend. It’s important that cadets understand not only what’s happening with the unit, but the details too. If this doesn’t happen, it leads not only to confusion but missed opportunities too.

To get a feel for who is actively reading, I would like each cadet who reads this WRO to email me at jody.lemoine@809cadets.ca and confirm that you have done so.

Virtual Training continues this week as there has been no further news related to the lockdown. Remember to use the links posted below for each of the sessions. Regular training, as always, is on Wednesday, so we’ll see you all then if not before.
