Swords are not authorized for Air Cadets .... I believe the only exception is when staffing at an Army or Sea CSTC where thier job requires them to use one ... but as you said, thats another topic altogether. Saying something like "meh, whatever" implies that you simply do not care. If this...

So if my CO happened to own a pacestick .... they should carry it on parade and do the drill associated with that?  Evidently not, as they are an officer and not a NCM.  Same thing should apply for swords.  Carrying a sword in it's sheath serves the purpose of maintaining tradition, so just...

Anyone may feel free to correct me if I'm wrong .... my understanding is swords are for officers.  The exception to this is for colours (in the military).  Also I've heard that in some regiments the RSM carries a sword, but tradition dictates that the sword is only drawn from its sheath on a...

A friend of mine will be an OCdt at age 17 (however that is through ROTP).  Also as far as I know you must be at least 18 to be a CIC Officer (you do need your high school diploma which typically takes until one is 18 or almost 18). In my opinion ... as nice as it may seem to do both, I think...

Thanks, yeah annual this year should be a good parade ... hoping to "go out with a bang."  Good job to you this weekend as well.

You parade there?? :S Thanks, and the medal is called the Lord Strathcona Medal.

My cadet corps took 66 cadets plus staff to Ottawa last weekend .... made it a "fun" weekend from a senior NCO perspective.

Often times we will take age as a factor in promotions, because age typically shows a better sense of maturity and less time left in cadets.  Also we looked at the results from the Junior and Senior Leadership courses, and promoted those performed well and showed some leadership potential.  If...

Congratulations!  I did an ACE exchange to Denmark in 2003, I was told that I was going to Denmark when my exchange OC contacted me by phone.  The exchange is likely not entirely cultural, it varies with exchange.  On my exchange we did training with the military in our country as well as some...

I'll see you there, I have also been accepted for prepatory year.

Would a cadet wearing a CF uniform wear it above the nametag like members of the CF or on the pocket as dictated (as Army Cadet CWOs are entitled to wear a CF uniform with cadet insignia)?

I believe CIC officers are restricted to CIC training, as there is little purpose in training them in other areas of the CF.  I do know one of the SkyHawks is/was a CIC Officer, I'm not sure how he went about getting onto that though.  A select few Army CIC Officers can attain the CF Parachutist...

Oh man I remember that, I was on CLI in 2002 and I heard about that.  The "Master Bombadier" your referring to won't be at camp this summer, he was the advisor CSM (as a MBdr) for K Coy this past summer.  He dumped the garbage cans every morning if they weren't emptied.  I could give a few...

They can give an acting rank of one above their substantive rank ... so if a cadet hasn't been a WO for 6 months they can be made an Acting MWO until the 6 month period is over (however time as an Acting MWO will not count towards the 6 months required to be promoted to CWO).

Wow ... I definatly wish my cadets could beat me up when I retire (in full ceremonial dress of course) ... they could even use my own pacestick to do it ... wow that would really make my cadet experiance complete ... and since its at annual the detachment could join in .... how about that?{!}{!}...

Here we have .... a "Silver Star with maple leafs badge:" (This picture was brought to you in part by .... my scanner)

Yes you do ... however I do know of cadets that have managed to "slip through the cracks."

I was referring to the echelon at my unit as the cadet that made the statement is from my unit.  Post edited to be more specific anyways.

There is a corps in Mississauga that does that, however they wear their corps badge on their right arm and the RCAC badge on the left arm ..... although I'm not sure if it is permitted.
