Due to a lack of available staff that are trained as an Range Safety Officer (RSO), we are utilizing staff from other cadet units. Their availability determines when we run the program. PARENTS: please endeavour to have your cadet at each Monday night that is specifically for your cadet for range training. We appreciate that this is not ideal, but are doing our best to make range training (a mandatory part of the Air Cadet training program) available to our cadets.

LISTEN carefully at briefing on the Wednesday night before to hear about what training will be offered. Some nights will only be one event, others will be two or more.

DRESS standards for the various activities are as follows:

Drill: jeans, squadron t-shirt, DRILL BOOTS, WEDGE – as per OCdt Couroux’s direction on Wed evening. Apologies for the miscommunication.
