Dress
C2: All parade positions (Sgt, FSgt, WO2, WO1); C4: Everyone else (LAC, Cpl, FCpl)
Dress to impress: haircuts are needed by many. Look up the dress standards on the website under Air Cadet Dress Regulations (these are not flexible).
FISH FRY CADETS: are reminded to double check their shifts and to make sure they can arrive on time ready to work.
At long last, the Squadron Wish List that used to adorn the office chalkboard has been typed out with approx. cost for each item and available stores for purchase.
For those that have expressed an interest in purchasing/donating these items for the squadron, please understand that you are in no way obligated to do so. Donations of any kind – large or small – are always appreciated, so that we do not have to use cadet raised funds to purchase them.
The list is not exhaustive – you may notice the lack of Tim Horton’s gift cards (always great for training weekend Timbits) or coffee pods for the Office Keurig. Printer paper, office supplies and almost anything else you can imagine we use, is also welcome. Just check in with the staff before you purchase it, so we don’t end up with so many tents we have nowhere to store them.
Thank you in advance to those who have already given gifts of paper, coffee and other awesome items that make working at 809 a delight. Your generosity is truly appreciated.
For those looking into a long-term donation, please contact the Sponsoring Committee through Mr. Hendriks to hear about our Corporate Sponsorship program.
Thanks everyone for a great FTX! Congratulations to WOI Chikombero for organizing the training – it was an all-around success. Level 3 & Four Cadets are reminded to see Lt Russell for follow-up regarding their leadership tasking/appointment evaluations. A special thank you to CI Thiffault for lasagna and home-made breakfast burritos and to all the parents who donated baked goods (the brownies were fantastic). 🙂
DRILL TEAM TONIGHT: 7-9pm. Dress: jeans, 809 sqn tshirt, parade boots, wedge FOR EVERYONE. No other training tonight. Canteen will be open.

Squadron Effective Speaking Competition and CO’s Parade. We will start the evening with the ES Comp then move into the CO’s Parade. Parents are welcome to attend both. The top 2 cadets from the competition will advance to the NAG ES Comp on Sat 5 Mar 2016.
FOR THE PARKING LOT: Please remember to reduce speed when entering and exiting the parking lot. DO NOT drive on the grass area. DO NOT pull through the paved area via the grass area. Parking spots are permitted along the edge of the grass (immediately adjacent to the paved surface), but not past the end of the concrete storage shed/benches. Your patience is appreciated.
THIS COMING WEEKEND: we have both our WINTER FTX ANNEX C KIT LIST and the NAG MARKSMANSHIP COMPETITION. Make sure you are prepared for the FTX by reading the kit list above. The marksmanship competition is for the Range Team only. Capt Palumbo will be escorting the range team to and from the comp via the FTX – team members can participate in both. FTX Advanced Party: see Capt Palumbo on Wed night if you can make it (FSgt & up) – Fri 215pm pick up from school/home.
Beginning on Mon, 22 Feb, and for the remaining Monday nights until the NAG Drill Competition, the Drill Team will be practicing from 7 – 9 pm (with a break mid-way through).
Dress is civilian with drill boots and wedge for everyone. NO practice on Mon 15 Feb as it is Family Day.
Here is a challenge from another Air Cadet Squadron Drill Team. Maybe we need to install some mirrors?
