PARENT BRIEFING: 815pm Classroom #1 Unfortunately, each year at least one cadet is disappointed that they can no longer apply for Summer Training because they did not follow the application process. All courses are in high demand and are selected regionally.  All dates below are not flexible – timings for paperwork are given to us by the Ontario Provincial Committee (Air Cadet League) and the London Detachment (DND). In order to have maximum selection for summer training we need to make sure we have everything: on time. Please read CAREFULLY.

For all cadets who are thinking of applying for a National Course:

  1. Go to your Guidance Counselor at school and request the previous year’s transcripts as well as the current year’s mid-term marks/report. Do this now.
  2. Read this: 2016 National Courses HB for Cadets CAREFULLY!!! There is a TON of information for you and your parents.
  3. Bring in your course request list to the Squadron NLT THIS Wednesday 25 Nov 15.
  4. PARENTS: join Capt Palumbo for a Parent Briefing dedicated to Summer Training WED 25 NOV 15 815pm – this was not previously scheduled, however due to many parents having the same questions, we would like to have you all together to share information effectively.

Monday Night Training

RANGE TRG is taking place for the NEXT FOUR MONDAY NIGHTS only. Listen each Wednesday for which level will be receiving the mandatory training portion each week. Due to a lack of available staff that are trained as an RSO at 809, 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 trg (a mandatory part of the Air Cadet program) available to our cadets.

DRILL TEAM: 630-730pm

RANGE TRG: 730-930pm – this week is Level 3 cadets

As a reminder: 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: shorts, sqn t-shirt, running shoes, sqn ball cap (until further notice)

Sports: shorts, sqn t-shirt, running shoes, sqn ball cap (optional)
