    Help with practice for NSCE

    Yes this was my first year attempting NSCE, and thanks. Yes I was a MWO before recieving my NSCE. My officers felt that I deserved the rank I guess. If we had followed the new CATO then we would only have our RSM above the rank of WO.

    Help with practice for NSCE

    Congrats! I passed everything on the first go and I finished pretty high in my area, but they still haven't awarded me my badge yet. It is a good feeling to know that you have finished you star level training.

    CadetPat field uniform

    I do believe some corps do that. Others do not. It is because there is no standard what so ever about combats. Some regions outlaw them while others turn a blind eye, in out dress regs it says that combats should only be worn at summer camps but some corps do not abide by that. I think what...

    Cadet Pay Rates as staff

    My friend was a staff cadet this summer at Blackdown, he is now a Pte(R) on his BMQ. They initially gave him one SN, but they had problems paying him(something like that) so they changed it but they were still having problems finally on Tuesday when he got his ID tags and everything they gave...

    Riding Troop

    The Governor General's Horse Guards also have a Riding Troop. It isn't that big but they put on a good show.

    New Standard for ACSM

    It's been like that for about a month now. I have already applied for my service medal and I should be recieving it by my Annual. And yes it was because of the air cadet service medal being 4 years.

    Recruiting Posters, Slogans and Commercials [Merged]

    When were you watchin the olympics? I was watching them yesterday morning and a little in the afternoon, I counted at least 8 CF commercials through that time period. I certainly saw that they are stepping the commercials up, from rarely ever to 8 over a short time period. The only negative is...

    Teaching Drill at NSCE

    Well apparently your not suppose to leave the cadets standing there with their legs in the air, when I was first taught drill thats how we did it, be it turns or attention/stand at ease. Now with turns and attention/stand at ease you do not leave the cadets balanced on one foot.

    Teaching Drill at NSCE

    I was told not to ever leave the cadets with their legs up in the air, and if done on NSCE it is major marks taken away from you.

    Teaching Drill at NSCE

    While we are talking about the Drill lessons, I have been assigned 401.01 Attention, Stand at Ease and Stand Easy. These movements cannot be broken into squads, correct? So when I teach these positions do I just skip breaking down the movements into squads and just teach the cadets the full...

    Teaching Drill at NSCE

    Well when we had our demonstration for our drill lesson, the Lt who was teaching us said to turn the cadets around and pull out your lesson plan so you can read it over, then when done just about turn your cadets.

    Anybody do the NSCE exam this year? and how was it?

    I did Phase 1 yesterday, I was the first one finished in COA, I finished in 15 minutes. It honestly had to be the easiest cadet test I have ever written. I think I got at least a 90%.

    Anybody do the NSCE exam this year? and how was it?

    No I haven't done it yet but I have been prepping for it. I write Phase 1 on February 12 and then Phase 2 on the weekend of March 3-5. The multiple choice test looks really easy and you should at least get 75% on it, if not more.

    Physical Fitness (Jogging, Diet, Cardiovascular, and Strength )

    So I have my NSCE testing coming up in a couple weeks and part of the testing is a physical fitness test. I have been working hard to improve my running and my pushups, which have improved, but I have no clue on how to improve my standing long jump. If anybody knows how to get a farther jump...

    Drill and Ceremonial

    Why do you think that the "ftx stuff" is stupid and gross? A lot of people seem to have that opinion of CLI Adventure. There isn't as much time in the bush as you think, a lot of the time is learning about how to instruct, actually instructing, and a few other things. At Blackdown we spent a...

    My view...

    I only wish I could nominate someone else because I would very much like to join the reserves but in my case it is not possible. I am still not 16 but I really want to join my affiliated unit but I feel accountable to my corps and eventually I came to the conclusion that it is best that I remain...

    My view...

    For the people who are saying that the officers should encourage you to join the CF, have you ever thought of it from their point of view? They have put money and effort into training you so you can become a future leader of the corps but then you just skip out without helping them. I am...

    CFC Toronto as a posting

    $1400 is about average for rent here in Markham, the most expensive areas are probably Unionville and old Markham (near Main Street). Markham is mostly a great place, some areas are a little sketchy but its nothing compared to other areas in the GTA.   One of my Captain's was in almost the...
