This Week

Thanks to all of the cadets and staff who participated in the flurry of pre-Remembrance Day activities on the weekend. Between the various Royal Canadian Legion events (the Poppy Campaign, and the Veterans’ Dinner and Luncheon) and the Grace United Church Remembrance Service, the complements on the cadets’ contributions were almost non-stop. Well done!

We have one more week to go before the November schedule relaxes somewhat. This week’s training details, parades, and community events have been posted to the calendar and can be found below.

Wednesday: Training Night
Friday and Saturday: Remembrance Day Vigil and Parades
Sunday: St. Mark’s Church Service (for cadets who attended the Vimy 100 Trip)

In other good news, we now have the training schedule with instructors posted for the remainder of the calendar year and are committing to have the first three months of 2018’s schedule posted by the beginning of December.

Remember that you have to be signed into the web page to see instructors’ names in the training schedule and to have access to the signup sheets.

Tomorrow Night’s Training

Hopefully everyone is recovered from the weekend’s FTX. Don’t forget that we’re switching to Winter Dress tomorrow night.

C2: Sgt, FSgt, WO2, WO1
C3: AC, LAC, Cpl, FCpl

The full details and schedule for tomorrow night can be found here.

Looking forward to seeing everyone out tomorrow.

Training Night and Merit Review Boards (Updated)

Duty Officer
CI Carbone

Dress
C2B: Sgt, FSgt, WO2, WO1
C4A: AC, LAC, Cpl, FCpl

Schedule
The training schedule can be found on this evening’s calendar entry here.

Merit Review Boards
In addition to our regular training this evening, there will be a set of Merit Review Boards for promotion from WO2 to WO1 and from FSgt to WO2. We are planning interviews as follows for the eligible cadets.

  1. WO2 Giansante
  2. FSgt Griffin
  3. FSgt Lett
  4. FSgt Zalepa

All interviews will be 10-15 minutes long. Dress for the interview is C1, so participating cadets should bring their tunic (with medals) and tie on a hangar.

The Area representative for the board is Maj Lisa LaCombe. There will be two other members on the board:

  1. At least one representative from OPC: a member of the Squadron Sponsoring Committee; and
  2. A staff officer from the squadron: not the Commanding Officer (CO).

The following information will be presented to the board:

  • A copy of the Cadet’s FORTRESS record;
  • The cadet’s personnel file;
  • Attendance records for the cadet as published from FORTRESS for the last two years;
  • All previous Cadet Summer Training Centre (CSTC) course reports;
  • A listing of the national, regional and Niagara Air Group (NAG) directed activities they have participated in the last two years;
  • Uniform inspection marks for the previous training year;
  • Any blue and/or red chits as found in their personnel file; and
  • Any other pertinent information the CO wishes the board to consider.

Cadets should have a quick review of C407.01 prior to their MRB.

Training Night Tonight (11-Oct)

Tonight will be a relaxed night of Range, Sports and potentially a Video from the recent BBC documentary “Astronauts: Do You Have What it Takes

Normal Parade Night timings in effect

All Cadets: Civilian Sports attire

 

A reminder to cadets and parents: please ensure there is an Officer on-site before leaving your cadet at the Squadron. Our cadets need to be supervised while at cadet trg and inside the school. The Duty Officer is at the squadron by 615pm – but must open all rooms/lights etc and cadets should not arrive prior to 620pm.
