One of the commandments of leadership "Be a friend not a pal."  I'm pretty sure this was one of the 10 Commandmants of Leadership from when I took Practical Leadership a long time ago. The whole point of the statement was that you want to be there for your followers just not to the point...

Let's get the new kit first then worry about attack choppers.

Prior to this yeah I was running range training for a minimum of two hours every sunday. Range was open to anyone that wanted to shoot, though preference was given to the range team and biathlon teams. We we're quite possibly the most active sea cadet unit on the range in Winnipeg. Other units...

Back when I was a cadet at HMCS QUADRA on Junior Leadership we took all the toilet paper from the head in the barracks we we're sharing with them and sold it to the GT cadets at 50 Cents a roll. We could have been jerks and sold it too them at 50Cents a square but this way we didn't look to...

Considering the stance on Physical Fitness and Healthy Living, allowing cadets to smoke even with Parental allowance is irresponsible, and should be banned at the national level. Parents that allow their kids to smoke need to give their heads a shake.

I'm pretty sure that smoking by any cadets at Pra CSTC is not allowed, even with parents permission. Not sure what the laws are in the other various provinces but I am also pretty sure that if you are under 18 you can't buy them either in Manitoba.

The search didn't bring that one up for me depends on what I searched for. Like I said I would prefer more post on experiences and stuff that some of the members may have had with their Affiliated unit. Hopefully the flames and negative comments can be left to the side.  I have never heard of...

Ask your CO to inquire for you as they may hire people right up until the day camp starts depending on the situation at the CSTC. When I worked at Cold Lake in 2001 I applied on the 29 June and was there the 30th though for officers it is a bit different.

I did do a search, on the topic and the next most relevant topic was having to do with combat training for cadets, that's not what I was looking for. I have noticed alot of people saying cadets shouldn't do this or do that because they are cadets but offer little or no reason as to why they...

What are everyones thoughts on Cadets participating in Miltiary familiarization training with their affliated CF units? Remember that one of the main goals of the Cadet program is to foster interest in the Canadian Armed Forces. From my perspective the majority of Army Cadets in my area are...

From an officer's perspective and I don't think that has been added to much to this conversation I would like to add that going to camp isn't a guarantee. The detachements and the subsequent ACO's have to find places for Thousands of cadets and every year tons of deserving cadets aren't selected...

The only Haunting stories I heard about we're from HMCS QU'APPELLE SCSTC in Fort Qu'Appelle SK, the STC was located at the Echo Valley Conference Center up until a few summers ago when it was closed. The Conference center used to be a TB Sanatorium back in the day, and to this day there are...

Rule of Thumb I allways tell my cadets is that if it's not on the kit list don't bring it. I don't know how many time I've seen cadets with 2 Kit bags full to overflow with clothes and extra kit. Last year HMCS ONTARIO put in their joining instructions that civillian attire was not to be brought...

CHAP issues are sticky, the UHRA from the unit will determine a course of action. If he/she is not able to deal with the problem the DHRA from the local Cadet Detachment will provide guidance and or investigate the situation. As for Camp well that depends on the outcome of the investigation. I...

I stand corrected. Words of command are broken into cautionary and executive commands. I used the wrong word, regardless it was still a horror to listen to.

Truly the most baffling precautionaries I have ever heard were from the SLC cadets on parade up in Cold Lake, they stretch and distort the procautionary to the point of making it uselss. I hated being on parade or anywhere near the parade square when there was a grad parade or drill practice...

This isn't a sea cadet thing just sloppy drill commands. The 201 states that the slow march will allways be given on the right foot.

Remember kids the army marches on it's stomach.

The swearing in process is a nice touch. Invite your parents/friends/family as it's a pretty important day. I have the bonus of being sworn in twice, the first time was at the CFRC the second time when I rejoined as a CIC officer was in a bar/grill over a plate of hot wings and many mugs of beer. 

Quite the contrary. If you state on your enrollment forms what unit you belonged to and it's longer than say two years the recruiting center will send a letter to the unit requesting a copy of the relevant cadet docs. The unit should have at the minimum a copy of the folder that has your record...
