CO’s Message

Good evening!

Last week’s fitness testing turnout could have been a lot better. We had a little under half of the squadron in attendance and not nearly enough people taking the time to call in and let us know that they wouldn’t be there. The cadet program is a team effort and everyone needs to be on-board in order for everyone to get the most out of it. If a cadet really can’t be in attendance for something, it is expected that they will call in or email us to let us know. Beginning in the new training year, this will be the difference between being absent with an excuse and being absent. Absences without an excuse will count against a cadet’s flight for the inter-flight competitions when they start again, so it’s best to build good habits now.

This week, we will be conducting a marksmanship night and picking our best shots to participate in the mail-in marksmanship competition series. Lt Nicolescu has provided the linked air rifle handling checklist for cadets with some air rifle marksmanship experience to review. We understand that there are a few cadets who still haven’t had an opportunity to become familiar with the handling of air rifles and they will be given appropriate instruction at the beginning of the evening to ensure that they’re properly prepared to participate.

Cadet Air Rifle Handling Test Assessment Checklist

For proficiency level five (L5) cadets, we’ll be conducting leadership evaluations throughout the evening.

See you on Wednesday!

SWO’s Message

This week we will be doing some marksmanship! If you wear glasses you can wear those normally instead of safety glasses however I suggest you wear contacts if possible as they tend to be easier to shoot in. We will briefly go over rifle safety prior to starting the night as well. Another reminder to check you blues to make sure everything fits and for the new Lac’s to make sure you put the new ranks on your blue tunic. If you need help figuring out how to do so please feel free to email any of the seniors and we can help.
