That must have been fun, I'm sure the 5 cadets who had no bed were just ecstatic about it. And if the confidence course is half a day of repelling I'm all for it. My corps went abseiling this year and I went down the tower the most out of anyone, I hurt all over the next day (I didn't even...

What's the confidence course like at Vernon? Is it really difficult? And what does it have in it? Abseil tower, zip lining? That sort of thing?

I got this idea from another site. If anyone has a good tip how to get your uniform to look the best is could possibly be, then post it. And if anyone has any questions about the uniform they can ask and hopefully someone will answer their question. So, to start it off: To get a really good...

I just wrapped up my first year of cadets so I don't have many qualifications. I have: rank: Corporal star level: red (I was advanced so I did green and red star this year) qualifications: -basic piper -first class marksmen -standard first aid (I actually got 100% on my test) awards (my corps)...

I know with my corps there are a few smokers. My CO actually gave a huge lecture a couple of weeks ago due to the fact that some cadets were caught smoking during a cadet activity. He basically said that if you are on cadet time then you aren't smoking, and that means when your wearing any kind...

- itching powder on the toilet paper - jello made freshly in the toilets - vaseline and sand in shoes - classic prank: whipped cream/shaving cream/vaseline/whatever in someone's hand and then tickle the person's face Just be careful, obviously, especially with the vaseline in the shoes one...

I re-read my post and I realized that it sounded as if nothing can be blamed on the junior and senior NCO's, but that's not what I meant. What I meant was that if people don't care or don't want to try then there is nothing anyone can do, you can't force people to be good at anything if they...

Vernon sounds like a lot of fun. I am going to CL this summer, and it's my first camp so I'm kind of nervous. Anyone know what my chances of being able to switch to CL Pipes and Drums for pipes are? My piping instructor told me to ask my platoon commander (whoever that turns out to be) to be...

OK, thank-you. As you can tell I've never gone to camp before, so I'm just trying to figure stuff out so I'm not surprised when I get there (Vernon).

I was just wondering, other than staff, is there ranks for the course cadets? I heard a bunch of different things, including that if you got a promotion at camp you get that rank at your home corps as well, which I don't think happens. After all, it's the CO and training officer that decides who...

In my corps we have a problem with drill as well. We're a small corps (and by small I mean we hardly ever have more than 20 cadets on parade every week), and so it's obvious when we have a few cadets that just don't care or just don't get it. I just joined this 2005/2006 year and yet I have had...
