I believe in a position such as Drill Team Commander it should be the best candidate for the job and not necessarily the most senior in rank.  I don't agree with cadets voting their team commander though .... in my opinion a nomination from the CO and officer staff seems appropriate, or possibly...

There may be differences in the way the course is being one from CFLRS Saint-Jean to CFB Borden which may result in this, or it could be an error.  You will only know for sure when you get there. Also I believe you have little or no choice where your coursed.  Typically all Reg Force BMQ has...

Just to clarify ... I did include the SN I was issued as a staff cadet, and explained the situation to them however they gave me the explanation I gave above and informed me I would be issued a new service number.  I also had no problems receiving my pay after providing the appropriate banking...

I believe Staff Cadets are assigned a "Primary Identification (or PRIN) number" which is of identical format to a CF Service Number (for the purpose of being integrated into the pay system) but for all intensive purposes not a Service Number.  My Staff Cadet number is different then my current...

Also you must meet the other prerequisites (most importantly the fitness level ... which for England is Silver).

Blackdown is a camp within CFB Borden.

The Sunset Ceremony is a good event to attend ... I was part of it in 2001, and 2002 and attended in 2003 and 2004.  If my courses this summer are finished before Sunset then I will likely attend this year, however that is unlikely at this point.

My former unit (1913 Ontario Regiment Oshawa) invited some cadets to attend our Junior and Senior Leadership training on the March Break 2004 and 2005.  I was staffing the courses during both of those years, so I had a chance to meet and work with cadets and officers from that unit. Also about...

The band focuses on music training and development, as such they're not seen in the same light as other course.  For a non musician it is difficult to understand the work required in mastering the art of music, all they see is cadets sitting in classrooms all day blowing away at their...

However camp still exists as a requirement for the Master Cadet appointment.

He obviously used a sabre, as the guard commander does every year.  From the pictures it resembles the sabre that was kept in the HQ, however my memory of the details isn't that accurate.

Let me clarify here ... Holmes did not make the drill cane he used in 2004, it was an old one that they gave him that year, he stripped and repainted it though.  For some large parades in 2004, the RSM did use a black pacestick.  This past summer Blackdown had a pacestick and sword donated by I...

Congrats on RSM of Connaught, I remember being in your company back in 2001 as course cadets.

Well I could repeat my post to speak about the officers that I worked with as well, but I will let this matter rest as it is finished.

So I heard ...
