We are working diligently to update the website with the latest version of our Air Cadet Planner and Annexes. Under the CADETS tab you will find both. If you would like to print your own copy of the Air Cadet Planner and/or annexes, please do so, but check back with the website for the most up-to-date versions of all documents. We will not be sending home paper copies with returning cadets.
New direction has been received regarding promotions. Read Annex G carefully for an overview of what will be required of you to move on to the next rank. Promotions are not automatic. They are merit based and require many pre-requisites to achieve. Specifically, you will be required to participate in the Air Cadet Fitness Assessment. This is to better achieve our new focus of: Citizenship. Leadership. Physical Fitness.
The year-long training calendar will be published on the website shortly under Annex C. However, please use the calendar tab on the website for the most current information.
Annex E Awards will also be added as soon as it has a complete listing of all of our awards and scholarship opportunities at the squadron.
Thank you for your patience as we move to a more web-based information dissemination system.
