We got our Army Cadet Service Medals in Februrary ... the bars came in on Wed but were sent in a regular envelope and arrived to us broken.   One of my MWOs applied in Feb and got his medal last Wed. Just to add on that ... I got my Legion Medal of Excellence when I was 15. Back onto topic...

That was my other thought.  One of my MWOs wants to be a CSM in Vernon, I told him not to hold his breath .... seeing as he was a MCpl last year at Blackdown.

Reminds me of when I was the Band NCO at my unit .... for me it was a busy and thankless job, but eventually I ended up as Drum Major .... which was an even harder job, but I did enjoy it. As for mace drill ... it's best learned by teaching (provided the instructor can teach and demonstrate...

I had a cadet transfer to my corps from BC as well.  He speaks well of Vernon, he say's in his opinion it's better then Blackdown (however he has only been to Blackdown during the training year with my corps).  From what I've heard Vernon's one weakness is the food .... but I suppose like...

Another thing is Bravo doesn't necessarily = Adventure at every camp.  I believe Bravo is Band at Vernon (someone thats been to Vernon feel free to correct me). I was at Blackdown this past summer ... but I was in Kilo not Bravo.

This Hour Has 22 Minutes's Rick Mercer was a Sea Cadet.

I actually did that before, I was at the mall and some Air Cadets were tagging there ... so I asked a few of them some questions about Air Cadets or what its about ... most of them didn't have any problems.

Some Air Cadets I worked with last summer told me it's an unnofficial standard that the word "wing" is to he held for 7 seconds (I'm sure it's not really a standard .....  just stating what I was informed).

The online CATO regarding exchanges was last updated in 1997 and is found here: http://www.cadets.ca/_docs/cato-oaic/4205_b.pdf. That CATO says that you must have no previous staff cadet employment.  Unfortunatly I do know this has changed but I'm unable to find any official documentation to...

To support what ouyin2000 is saying, when I did exchange in 2003 there were a few cadets that had previous staff cadet employment and/or were Master Cadet qualified.

Do you know Captain Scarisbrick?   She was my exchange officer in 2003. Savez-vous Capitaine Scarisbrick?   Elle été mon officier du échange dans 2003.

Congratulations!   USA Exchange is a challenging exchange, and good luck with the para testing! Félicitations!   L'échange d'État-Unis est un échange défier, et bonne chance avec l'évaluation de cours parachutist! (s'excuser mon pauvre français s'il vous plaît.   Je ne pas parle français souvent.)

I received mine yesterday in the mail, it's dated March 24th .... so the rest of you should receive them shortly (I'm just pretty close to Borden). The additional sheet that is required to be signed is a "statement of understanding - Shift Worker."   Basically it's an acknowledgement that you...

I got my offer of employment in for Blackdown Staff.  My paperwork indicates CSM, but I won't know until after precourse.

I'm sure if you do a search you will find many topics on the forums related to this.  "Cadet stuff" is issued through your stores, if your looking for combat uniforms or military kit then you have to go to an Army Surplus store.  That being said, if your willing to make the trip to Toronto...

A point that many overlook ... the American Young Marines you were with at Rocky Mountain NACSTC were  selected for exchange, some more then likely they are some of the better rounded cadets in the organization.  Same as when we send cadets overseas on exchange, we try to select the best...

A point to note ... they are referred to as medals but are only ribbons (for those who may not know). I find it interesting that their top personal award is identical to the ANAVETs medal.

Be patient, when we get information we will relay it onto the cadets ... all the regions work in different ways.

Wow that would be convient for us at Blackdown, some days I'd have my Sergeants do rock paper scissors to determine who had to take them that day.

An Army Cadet marksman that is proficient can receive their shooting level qualification (badge on left arm), their zone/region/national shooting competition pin, and their CL Marksman/CLI Marksman/Bisley pin for meeting certain requirements.  There is also the Bezille award for the top Bisley...
