I can tell you with absolute confidence that CWIC is not required, at least for Air CIC, to conduct a winter Ex. In fact, the course is typically limited to R92A (Army) ONLY, with Air filling in gaps where a vacancy may exist. Cheers, R

Ed, can you explain ‘winter qual‘ CIC? Thanks, Rob

Now, I‘m not speaking from any direct experience here, but I‘m willing to bet a Sup Tech in a Res unit is going to be in the field just as much as anyone else. It‘s up to the Log people to make sure everyone gets everything they need in the field. I think it would be a good mix of the...

Ah, red tape. About as fun as getting hit with a frying pan... I‘m surprised about the run-around given to the RegF people. Maj Peters - How is a Class A reservist getting injured on duty ripping off they system? I hadn‘t heard that mindset yet.

Depends - do you have bad credit, or no credit? The Enhanced Reliability Check does run a credit report on you. If you have a history of not paying your bills, getting evicted because you can‘t make rent, banks cancelling your credit cards, bankruptcy in the past seven years - well, you...

If you‘ve spent thousands of dollars on dental work, and an electric toothbrush is going to help you keep your teeth clean around all the hardware in your mouth... they are more effective than a manual toothbrush, and a DMD or DDS may prescribe their use. Just a thought. Lexi - you have a few...

Theory is, the Adj should take care of it. It wouldn‘t be up to the course/staff cadets to correct the officers‘ dress. Primer - yes, your combats are your work dress, just like NCDs for the Navy, and our work dress pants/shirts for the Air Force. However, you shouldn‘t need, as an officer...

All this talk about doughnuts... need TH... Look what you‘ve done!

Congrats, Colin - I‘m sure you‘ll do great. Going to do an air stint before you age out? ;) PM me.

9411, they are teenagers, not soilders. Get over yourself. -R.

Colin, when did you go army?

When I became a paid CI, DND ran a check on me. Then again, when I enroled. +++ Would CHAP have saved those kids? Who knows. At least they would have known their rights. CHAP is about prevention, yes, but largely education on what is and isn‘t appropriate. There is a lot of publicity on...

I got issued a forage cap (Air Force). It sits in my closet. The wedge is much more functional :)

Primer, need idea. I think it would be great if they brought things back like Signals, and Driver/Mech... But we‘ll see, eh?

In fact, we should. Primer, you‘re an officer, you should know better. Franko - CIC will only wear CIC badges, even if the cadets in his corps get to wear RCD as an affilated unit. It could be that they didn‘t know any better... hopefully the guy gets a copy of CFP 265 stuffed in his face...

Personally, I don‘t want to hear about any cadets having ‘pops‘ anytime during training. Remember your audience, folks... ;)

IAP is the Inital Assessment Phase, and happens as a part of your time in St Jean for BOTC. More information can be found on the CFLRS website. For a link to IAP/BOTC, go here: http://www.cflrs.forces.gc.ca/English/officers/index_e.asp

Dan - nothing less than a commerical license will help. If you are fresh out of high school, there is currently a Continuing Education Officer Entry Plan open for Pilot. You can apply with your High School Diploma and go right into Phase 1 flight training. You will have to sign a statement of...

Scott, I was a CI for three years. Partly because I had been working, and needed to finish High School before I could enrol. Mostly because I came into the adult staff role right after I had graduated from Air Cadets, and needed time to adjust to the role. I started off as a Band O, which is...

Scott937 - No worries. If you‘d like me to get into further, I could ;) Jason - yep, that‘s the reason they give a lot of people - ‘in an emergency, if you break your glasses, you put everyone at risk‘. Is that a good reason? Well, I‘m a little jaded, because I know several top-notch...
