Good evening 809 Squadron,
I hope you’re all having a great weekend off. We’re making some changes this week. Until further notice, we’re going back to our pre-covid standard of dress for training. So, pack away the greens for now and pull out the blues, as follows:
Senior NCOs (Sgts and above) C3 (ribbons, shirt and tie)
Junior Ranks: (FCpls and below) C3D (same as C3, except shirt is replaced by crewneck sweater)
Cadets w/o Uniform: White collared shirt, black pants & dress shoes
Officers: 3C (sweater – Open collar)
Cadets will be responsible for wearing the uniform in the required manor. This means, that boots must be shined, uniforms fit right and they need to be ironed. If your cadet requires upgrades, make sure they visit CI Dau, our Supply Officer.
Here are the announcements for this week:
