we usually have a big gala dinner at some restaurant, last time we raised $15,000 they sell tickets to everyone at $20 each.  Last time we had the mayor and his wife come.  If you can make a huge deal out of the dinner then you can get alot of money out of it.. ADVERTISE! We had an auction of...

I always get asked if i'm going to join the army when people find out if i'm in army cadets.  And I always smile and say "yup"

I heard somewhere that like 50% of the soldiers who fought in WWII were former army cadets.  Tell them that if it werent people like you they'd be speaking German and eating strudel.  I never got made fun of at my school, in fact i think alot of people were fascinated by it and regretted not...

are these the cap badges worn by the CSMs in Vernon?

Or you can wear that, but it wouldnt be practical in the field when your trying to hide.

I dont think they have the slip ons made yet.  You could go and buy a regular cadpat slip on from a surplus store and just wear that.  They issued the CSMs in Vernon the cadpat ones.

its not just for army cadets in Vancouver, everyone in pac region can wear it as far as I know.

the cadetpat would be ok if they made it out of the material actual cadpat was made out of, or even ODs.  But theres nothing wrong with wearing the cadetpat in the winter when its colder and ODs in the summer when its hotter.  That way even if it does fade, it wont fade as quickly and the...

yes of course break them in  ::) I was talking about my first pair when i was new and didnt know anything

Buying brand new boots isnt a great idea though.  New boots squeak and squawk.  I had a new pair once and had to exchange them because i kept getting caught on night ex's cause they were so squeeky lol.

Thats why there are protocols to ensure safety.  If the cadets use the C7 it is with a large bore RSO, on a huge range with a five round clip.  I dint think were giving some cadets credit.  My corps once did a large bore shoot with a reserve unit about a year ago and only selected the mature...

Yeah I thought I saw a pair in a mountain equipment co-op or something like that, but surplus stores also carry those types of boots, and one of my cadets has a pair of those and he says they're quite comfortable.  I'm considering getting a pair for myself, they appear to provide more ankle support.

I agree, I dont think that cadets using C7s for rifle drill is not a good idea, at least with the .22s Joe Civi can see the fact that there is a big chunk (bolt and mag) of the rifle is missing and thus must be inert.  The C7 (even a rubber one) doesnt look as dangerouse as a .22 with the bolt...

I was talking about the post piper put up, not the pioneer boots.

yeah those are the ones, the WWB boots.  thanks for the correction.  Those cadpat boots look pretty cool too.

ok sorry she said they were issued  ::)

I dont actually know what theyre called I just know they're made by CAT.  My assistant platoon commander in Vernon had a pair that was issued to her by her corps, a few of my officers have them, they probably have a hardened toe or something like that.  Sorry for any false info I was just trying...

Sometimes at different corps the course cadet was going to the CSTC to get the qualification for the rank and sometimes two cadets from the same corps are competing for one rank at their LHQ.  Whoever has the best course report receives the promo.  One of those "you have a red chit therefore you...

If the parents are worried about the military aspect of Army Cadets then why enroll they're kids in the program!? Keep little Johnny Bloggins in scouts if they are worried.  The problem is there are some parents who complain and give bad PR about cadets turning their kids into little GI Joes...

Thanks for the correction.  We called them 'Nam boots because they kinda look like the ones they used in Vietnam.  I like the newer ones they're issuing with the padding around the top, the steel toe and the welts around the edges.  They look comfertable.  I beleive they're made by CAT but I...
