Let me know if you find her, I'd be interested to know where she ended up too since I did staff with her that year in Borden.

Now it is tending to be strengthened again, but the army cadet programme finds itself without as useful an elemental focus as the sea and air cadet programmes.  Sea cadets sail and air cadets fly, but army cadets don't really have a corresponding thing to call their own.  Over the last several...

Looks like a Headdress badge is for Machine Gun Corps, British Army, approx 1909 - See reference and picture of same at http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=319206 Hard to see but the buttons on the tunic would likely have a similar design. Hope that helps.

News Flash......Hold on to your butts folks because I have it on good authority that Connaught will be a smoke free camp this summer.  No one, including officers, Civilian instructors, NCM's, staff cadets or candidates on courses will be allowed to smoke within the confines of the camp.

Wes,   Greg says hi, (with a puzzled look) also says he owes you a lengthy email.  He's done here at Rocky Mountain in a few days so hopefully he won't forget.....I'll bug him before he departs and remind him.

If you haven't seen it yet, the latest book Holding Juno By Mark Zuehlke is a great read on the subject being discussed here.  It has great references and well researched info. http://www.zuehlke.ca/military.php

OK, anyone got the scoop on where the CME Kit shop has gone?  It was on line for a while, I even had an outstanding backorder and then it disappears?  Anyone know where I can get CME Belt brass and CME buttons now?

You can reference CATO 45-02 and each region has certain standards amplified in their own regional orders.  PRCI for PAC region are at http://www.cadets.net/pac/support/admin/prci/313.pdf For someone off region qualified you would have to attend the refresher course, or have a PAC region Staff...

Your best starting point is your family, starting with the oldest members first.   They can get you started and it's amazing how much they will be able to tell you.   Once you have some clues, you can start researching on the internet as there are tons of informative sites available that can...

http://www.maverickcat.com/ These guys are in Vancouver but if you contact them they might be able to put you in touch with someone local.  Like it says if they are a problem, just trapping them won't help as more will move into the area.  Trapping fixing and releasing them is the best way to...

Edward Campbell, respectfully again sir, if you do have time on your hands as you indicated, I'm sure a Cadet Corp in your area could sure benefit from your experience.  I'm sure Vice Admiral Buck would concur, as when he was posted to Pacific Command he was a very generous and outstanding...

Javaman,  I do indeed agree with your last two points about open and honest discussion, bringing things up etc. I do have a problem with the way in which some members of this forum choose to do so with generalities. Merely pointing out problems based on limited experience, single instances or...

Meridian thank you for your comments and clarification of your instance of angst in CFSJ. As to your comment about Javamans posting here is what I believe: - yes the CIC needs to improve their standards if for no other reason than to be able to walk the walk that is preached to cadets about...

Edward,   Sure if that's how you feel, by all means.  But to continue with lack of generarities, how be you find the local cadet corp and volunteer to offer them the benefit of your 35+ years of service and help them raise the standard from within.  I saw a problem, I got involved, I've made a...

Meridian let me refresh your memory about your post: To be honest, the worst case of this was CIC; when I was at CFSJ in St-Jean, we had officers doing the MTAP (I think thats the acronym) language courses from all over NATO and eastern Europe.  We'd have CIC training weekends where the CIC's...

I think the moderators should set up a CIC bashing section, as this seems to be some sort of sport on these forums, it's not a debate in any way, it's simply a way for a bunch of teen aged or uninformed individuals to take shots and hide behind a computer screen. Yes there are examples of...
