Just a few things (mainly as personal opinion/experience) 1) There are many things that can be taught under CAF Familiarization.  The nature of these lessons may be the same but the content is "cadet-ized".  For example - field movements and cam and concealment can directly to translate to...

The DL is primarily self-directed.  There are weekly timeframes in which certain tasks must be completed (discussion posts, etc.).  When you are loaded on your course, you will be given a breakdown of what is covered and in what order, as well as a schedule that is specific to that course. The...

  Hi Colin, When your daughter joins the program officially there is a section of the enrolment form that discusses medical needs and there will be a Detailed Health Questionnaire (DHQ) to be completed as well.  Once these are completed, the DHQ will be sent to the Regional Cadet Medical...

You aren't missing it - the expectation does not change based on venue so it doesn't need to be stated. 

CATO 15-22 (as linked above) is the definitive go to for discipline within the cadet program.  Extra duties, typically relating to the deficiency, are a reasonable go-to before escalating further. For your first example, you cannot assign a physical punishment that does not relate to the...

The biggest thing I can suggest when it comes to leading cadets (and anyone for that matter) is to make yourself approachable.  There is a way to be approachable and supportive without crossing the boundary from supervisor to friend.  You will find that some of the most effective communication...

  Nope. 

I am actually all for accountability when it comes to spending.  I think that if a reserve is going to be using government funding, then the government has a vested interest in ensuring effectiveness of that spending.  I agree, we have all seen the horror stories of misspending.  I just think it...

Jarnhamar, You are welcome to your beliefs.  I found your initial post in the original thread to appear ignorant and generalizing in nature. It spoke to a lack of understanding of a much broader picture. Such assertions can reflect negatively upon the individual as well as the institution...

The topic being discussed is criminal and military justice.  The impact that this CANFORGEN has on aboriginal mbrs directly pertains to it.  The other perceived or real shortcoming of the reserve system does not. That may be your individual belief, but it is not something that you, as an...

As someone who routinely works with First Nations offenders and the justice system, I can tell you that the reserves themselves are not the problem.  There are other issues with the reserve system (which I won't get into), but you cannot blame their existence for criminal behaviours. There are...

Instead of listening to what your cadets are saying happened, I would consult with your Zone Trg O through the Chain of Command and take direction on how this needs to be structured.  The reason being that we have a duty of care to them and need to make sure they are fed appropriately.  The...

Current CATOs governing Cadet uniform regulations, specifically 46-01 (Army), 55-04 (Air), and 36-01 (Sea), all expressly prohibit the wearing of CADPAT by cadets.  Additionally, the regulations stipulate that any civilian purchased field clothing cannot display any rank insignia or be worn with...

Hey Guy, I am not Duey, but figured I would respond anyways. Looks like we may be having a global search issue.  I'll point Mike in the direction of the problem.

Hello all, I'm Kyle - I joined Army.ca in 2004 when I was a wee cadet with aspirations of joining the CF.  That didn't pan out in quite the way I'd intended (though I am currently in the enrolment process for the CIC), but I still managed to never leave here.  Shortly after joining, I...

Hi Shadreamer, I'd suggest talking with our site owner Mike Bobbitt.  He's kind of the guy to go to for stuff like this.

We spend so much time asking people to use the search function that I think we should acknowledge the value added to this instead of having someone create a new topic. Thanks for adding to our resources.

Hr1u00, You may contact me via email in order to explain your intent here.  Until such time as you see fit to do so, your account will remain in read-only. As has been said already, you're coming to a Canadian site to tell people that were there how it happened.  If you would care to provide...
