Where Has Cadets Taken You?

[foerestedwarrior]

Jeeze, some of the places you cadets get to go now. I only got ot go to Borden a few times, and I went to Fort Drum NY once. Air Cadets, i made my mistakes in life.

 

[sgt_mandal]

CFB Greenwod Nova Scotia, CFB Bagotville Quebec, Ottawa, Valcartier, Chicoutimi, CFB Trenton, CFB Borden

Forgot about Connaught, been there too.

 

[THEARMYGUY]

When I was a cadet I went to Ipperwash, Petawawa, CFB Downsview and other local training locations.  Now that I'm an officer I have spent time at most of those locations as well as CFB Borden and Kingston.

Cadets is a great programme that works only because the cadets are willing to keep it working.  I think we have a great movement here and the fact that most of the people who have posted in this thread have more than 2 places cadets has taken them, I think it's working still.

Cheers!!

I know this is an Army Cadet forum, I hope you don't mind an old retired sea cadet posting here. The thread just brought back some great memories.
I went all over the place as a cadet. Best year of my life was the year I went on all my cruises.

CF bases:
Borden
Trenton
Kingston
Shearwater
Greenwood
Halifax
Cornwallis - that parade sq. was huge
Ipperwash (cadet camp)
HMCS Haida (cadet camp)

HMC ships:
Nipigon (day sail)
Assiniboine (Worked as a Bos'n, 10 Weeks Nato cruise - England, Scotland, Iceland, Portugal)
Algonquin (Worked as a Bos'n, also some time in Ops learning to be an RP, 12 Weeks South American cruise - Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, several cities in Brazil)

Coast Guard Ship: CCGS Daring, 3 weeks SAR around Sable Island/Grand Banks. Worked as a deckhand.

USN ship, USS Coontz guided missile destroyer 14 days sail from Portugal to Scotland. I was transferred from Assiniboine and the USN types thought Sea Cadet = Officer Cadet. Sweet trip.

Foreign cities:
Lisbon, Portugal
London,England
Southampton, Engand
Rosyth Naval base, Scotland
Edinburgh, Scotland
A nice little pub in Dunfermline, Scotland where an older (say, 21) woman hit on me and I was too shy to do anything about it, so my messmates decided to teach me the facts of life (see being sold, below)
San Juan, Puerto Rico
USNS Roosevelt Roads "Rosie Roads" Puerto Rico
Castries, St. Lucia
Santos, Brazil
Rio de Janiero, Brazil
San Salvador, Brazil

This isn't intended to warp young minds...but I did visit several red llght districts in foreign ports. (I just tagged along with the crew ashore.) The club 69 in Santos was my fav. Was "sold" by #10 mess to a brothel as a virgin in Portugal. It wasn't for sex, but several prostitutes telling me how to "be a man to a woman" in fractured english. Hilarious in retrospect. I was blushing for a week.

I have yet to hear of a cadet more widely travelled, although I'm sure I wasn't the only one hopping every ship he could. Can Sea cadets still go to sea with the Regs? darn good times for a 17 yr old.

Ultimately, cadets led me to a stint in the infantry, and now I'm re-enlisting MARS as a much older man. Doubt I'll see any foreign brothels on an MCDV, but then again I am very happily married and I have no desire to do so. Besides, I think my wife would disapprove.

[Q.Y. Ranger]

Some of you guys/girls have gone a lot of places with cadets. I was just wondering, were a lot of the reasons for going there based on teams you were on, or were they trips?

 

[Navalsnpr]

Just about all for me were either courses or summer employment as either a Cadet or a CIC Officer.

All but one of   my trips were for summer training or individual postings to ships. The only team I was on was a drill team our corp sent to the Ontario championships in Ipperwash (came 2nd).
