    Interesting series of articles in the National Post

    Great stories. Great sketches. One great quote. The Canadians are responsible for the area one kilometer either side of the roadway and 500-metres off the end. They patrol regularly looking for contacts.  ;D

    Whitehorse. What should I expect?

    Can you find out if these activities are available during free time? From the joining instructions, free time is very limited compared to other training centers.

    mass promotions 2nd thread

    I agree your promotion numbers don't seem to be out of range. As long as your squadron is following the CATO quota its alright. It think what you really have is a problem with the quality of NCOs. All units have this problem. Low standards start at the top ranks and work their way down...

    The air cadet thread

    whats your take on the ACLS medal. Personaly I don't really like medals in the first place but then thats just my squadron on things like white belts and lanyards. Although some argue its what needed to make cadets feel they have achived something.
