Yes cadet units do receive the Freedom of the City.  In some cases, cadet units receive it before their Reg F and Res affiliated units.  In many areas, Cadet Corps may be the only military representation. Here are some Freedoms of the Cities awarded to Cadet Units. 3018 Orleans, ON received...

Yes, in fact there are Army Cadet Corps which are older than many CF Units.  There are two (#2 Bishop's College and #7 St. Thomas) which are older than the Dragoons.  Bishop's College was formed in 1879 and has run continously since then. www.armycadethistory.com  Check it out when you have time.

Unfortunately, they are not permitted.  They look too much like a C7.

Confused?  I know I am. Air Cadets are forbidden from using swords across the country.  CATO 55-04.  The only time an Air Cadet MAY use a sword is while at a Sea or Army CSTC. Here is all that I can find at the moment, though there is no link, just an email from a friend. Please note that...

Sorry LeGars, Just noticed that you are CIC.  If you are looking for yourself, depending on what you are wearing, you have 2 different patterns of swords.  If you are in regular DEUs then it would be the infantry pattern sword.  If you are wearing a kilt, then it would be a basket hilted...

I will ask a friend of mine where he got his.  It is a "blank" infantry pattern sword.  Blank meaning that there is no cypher engraved, it is attached with screws.  This allows a new cypher to be attached, should anything change.  The blade is etched, but again, no cypher.  He paid around $400. ...

qyrang, you are getting far too ahead of yourself here. There are 3 major OKs that you need in order to participate in anything. 1.  You need your CO's approval. 2.  You need your affiliated unit's CO's approval. 3.  You need the RCO's (through Det) approval. The CATO deals with this and...

I guess you haven't followed this thread. Read the CATOs http://www.cadets.ca/_docs/cato-oaic/1133_b.pdf Then go check your Regional Orders.

No problem. What many should do if you are not sure of something is: 1.  Check your resources (CATOs, Regional Orders, Standing Orders, Routine Orders, 201 etc) 2.  Ask your CO 3.  In the case of Army Cadets, check with the Affiliated Unit 4.  Check with Det 5.  Get a...

Not quite.  Generally speaking, just because it has been done for years, does not make things right. May be true........in your case. I assume you mean Atlantic Region in this case.  Eastern Region (Quebec) has issued regional orders forbidding the use of swords, rifles and bayonets in...

There is a surplus store in Montreal, corner of Ontario and St-Laurent, who has quite a few.  Largest chest is size 3(short large), tallest being size 4(regular small).  All nice a crispy new. Since you appear to be in the UK, your best bet is eBay.

Thanks. I have an "in" with 28 Svc Bn now.  They may have two kitchens.............one for sure.  They are not used often, because they are a pain. I don't think my question was all that clear before.  I am just looking to know how many people it takes to operate.  How many vehicles?  Fuels? ...

Check on eBay Motors under Other Vehicles/Military vehicles.  There are plenty in the Montreal and Cornwall area listed from time to time.  Be patient. http://listings.ebay.ca/aw/listings/Other-Vehicles_Military-Vehicles_W0QQfromZR4QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQloglZ1QQsacatZ80765QQsocmdZListingItemList...

Thanks so far guys. I have attempted to discuss this with the RCSU, through Det, but no one is quite sure what the best way to handle the situation is.  It was briefly discussed at the COs' Conference in June, but no details.  At the moment, everyone is worried about Cadet Summer Training...

To all those CF Cooks out there.................. What is required, to operate a field kitchen for approximately 60 people of a weekend (5 meals)? Here is the situation. Cadet units have been told that they will no longer be given IMPs.  Usually this is not a problem.  Some units, like the...

Beezer, start here: http://www.cadets.ca/support/cato-oaic/intro_e.asp  There are several different.  Please remember that these are national orders which are augmented by provincial orders.  In general, no weapons on an Ex. On parade, the only weapon permitted (under normal circumstances) is...

Before you get excited Beezer, please read this: http://www.cadets.ca/_docs/cato-oaic/1133_b.pdf And read the CATOs.  Though the CATOs may not directly apply to you, as a member of the PRes, they do apply to cadets, CIC Officers and anyone else who deals with cadets (that being PRes and Reg...

All Orders and Regulations can be found at www.cadets.ca.  You will want to check out the CATOs and Regional Orders, as well as the Cadet Detachment. As for what to do:  Most ideas are good ideas AS LONG AS they fall in line with the different Orders and Regulations, the Cadet Detachment, the...

If you pass the St. John's Ambulance Emergency course you can wear the badge.  If you pass the St. John's Ambulance Standard course you can wear the badge. (assuming that you are a cadet) Show your CO your certificate.  Badges are usually distributed by St. John's Ambulance, but I believe that...

Welcome to the wonderful world of cadets! The bad news is the CTP only allows one 30 minute period for this.  The good news, you can build more..................get on great terms with the CO, the Trg O and the CO of the affiliated unit. Please remember KISS.  It is the most important of all...
