    New Cadet Courseware (Green Star released)

    I have also enlarged maps to make things easier.  This can be done using a colour copier.  Makes it easier than using 1:50 000 maps when traveling under a km.  The Green Stars get discouraged easily...................just make sure that you copy the scale at the same time as the map ;)

    Interested in volunteering my time to Cadets - info?

    Hmmmm.............that's a tough question.  The best answer that I could give you is, check with your supervisor(s) and the Cadet Corps. I have worked with different Army Cadet Corps who have had different affiliated units and very, very different relationships.  One unit received outstanding...

    Interested in volunteering my time to Cadets - info?

    You may be right, or wrong.  It would depend on your unit.  It is best to advise your chain of command of your intentions.  Simply put, CYA.  Unlike Scouts, Guides, hockey, or any other youth organization, Cadets has a DND/CF side to it.  Nothing may be written in black and white, but it never...

    new cadet courseware

    Plan sent.  Instructions are $5.95 per minute ;) Things aren't overly different.  Just try to take a step back from what you have had hammered into your skull and try to give it a fresh look.  Everything is still there, it may just be called something different. The old system dictated exactly...

    New Cadet Courseware (Green Star released)

    No bait.  It's an honest assumption.  I saw the same sort of "attitudes" from officers, as a senior cadet, when the CTP came into effect.  That program, as history has told us, was written by someone who had absolutely no idea of what cadets did.  The CPU, IMHO, swings the pendulum back from the...

    New Cadet Courseware (Green Star released)

    Rather than quoting you, I will address certain points: HANDBOOKS:  These will, and are being developed, however, IMHO, they are not required for Green Star.  Most of the training is based on participation and being a follower.  A cadet will (well should ;) ) do what they are told.  While...

    New Cadet Courseware (Green Star released)

    NSCE, as it currently exists, will be eliminated by 2011.  It has served its purpose and done so well.  It does not fit in with the CPU. It is my understanding that it will be replaced with something better which can be conducted at various points within a cadet's career. Don't pee in the...

    Boot cleaning / polishing / care of

    Rather than using a knife, use ultra fine steel wool.  It's available at most hardware stores, usually in the paint section.  Use it lightly along with hot water.  Make sure that you rinse off the shoes/boot well before polishing.  You sometimes leave little bits of the steel wool on the shoe/boot.

    Crocs?

    I have a pair of Off-Roaders.  I love them! I wear Crocs to work everyday.  I own a restaurant and work in the kitchen.  They provide good traction on wet floors and are uber-comfy.

    The picture is the Army Cadet Service Medal.  There is also one for the Sea and Air Cadets. You can see an Army Cadet Service Medal, mounted with the Royal Canadian Legion Medal of Excellence Medal here: http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l109/rwgill/IMG_2134.jpg...

    Cadet long service medal

    Wes, Hopefully this will keep you satisfied until someone else posts a pic.  There is nothing on the back of the medal, except a place to have a name engraved.
