Who here has a Cadet Medal, what is it, and what did you have to do to get it?

[qyrang]

For medals, is there an age or service requirement to apply for medals?

 

[Burrows]

Some do, some don't.

 

[qyrang]

Can anybody tell me the rank, age or service requirements for:
>Legion Medal of Excellence
>Lord Strathcona


Thanks Geoff

 

[GGHG_Cadet]

There is a service requirement of 3 years for both medals. For the Lord Strath you must be Silver Star qualified or higher.

It slooking good on my uniform with gold buttons and 3 medals now: ANAVET for D&C 2005, Legion Medal of Excellence, and 4 year Service medal. Im going for Maj Gen Howard this year, and Lord Strat, and Ill be all set.

 

[ryanmann356]

yes indeed the legion medal does look very good on a uniform  ;D I get my service medal in November.
Is it better to wait until you have more than one medal to board them, or if you have one should you just board it?

 

[Cpl.Banks]

I got the Legion medal of Excellence at my corps Annual Parade, hoping to get the Strathcona and service medal next year. If not no big deal...ooooo shiny medals :.

UBIQUE!!!!

 

[qyrang]

Although I don't have a medal yet :, I believe that I looks better if you get them boarded when there are more. Just a thought.

 

[Nyles]

Call me a cynic, but unless things have changed since I got my Legion medal, they pretty much hand them out like candy.

 

[vadeanu]

I topped PERT for my ANAVETS and;
I was the most proficient leader in my corp for my Strathcona.. I guess.

 

[qyrang]

If you do two different CLI courses, is it possible to get two ANAVETS? Just wondering as I think it would be cool to have a bar on the ANAVET medal.

Why hello Mr. Hartwick!  Surely someone with such an esteemed medal that is awarded only under the most extraordinary circumstances would be able to provide details as to how you earned it.  I searched the internet, and I didn't find a dot of info on you, but I did find some on all the others!

I’m with my fellow mod on this one.

http://www.cyberbeach.net/army/bravery.html

“In Ontario, Cadet Daniel J. Primeau of 2784 Ottawa, was the last cadet awarded the Cadet Award for Bravery in 1977 for saving a friend from drowning.”

Profile says you're in Ontario so I take it your medal predates that one. Awarded almost 30 years ago eh. Kind of long in the tooth for a cadet there I think.

Busted kid, you will now make a public apology on these means prior to your banning.

 

[Ex-Dragoon]

Maybe Kyle you can get in touch with his CO...I am sure he/she will be interested in the integrity and honesty of one of his/her cadets is not what it should be. This person definitely dishonours the cadet movement and has no place in being in such.

 

[Ex-Dragoon]

For those interested I have emailed soon to be exSgt Hartwicks unit regarding this matter so I am sure they will be dealing with it...

It appears that a cadet from Mr Hartwick's corps (337) did win/was nominated for the Medal for Bravery in 2005.

The cadet's name is K.C. Maple.

In addition, it appears Medals for Bravery have been awarded have been awarded in Ontario on a couple of occasions since 1977.

Cadet Hartwick, I am the RSO and Coach for 337's shooting program and will be bringing this matter up with Major Bonnell.
