How far do you plan to make it?

[407QOCH]

I was just wondering, i personaly want to make it to at least WO

 

[condor888000]

I was surprised when I made Sgt, anything beyond that is just a bonus...so far I'm two further than where I expected, possibly a third spot up if I stay in long enough. Lots of WO's are getting up there in their careers...

 

[Saorse]

I had to vote "None of the Above," because honestly, my crowning goal was to become NSCE Qualified. That's happened; the pinnacle of my goals. I'm content

 

[Jonny Boy]

i voted MWO and that is what i am right now. i would love to reach CWO but it will all depend if i join the reserves next september. yes i think CWO would be really nice.

 

[Zedic_1913]

Well I am currently a CWO, so I guess that is as far as I get ... however when I started cadets I never saw myself being the leader that I am now, and didn't expect to spend as much time in cadets as I have.

 

[Chang]

i'm hoping for mwo but yea doubt thats gonna happen since i got about 1.5 years left in cadets

 

[PViddy]

That questionaire is irelevant.  It should be the goal of every cadet to make it to Chief Warrant Officer/Petty Officer/RSM.  Always strive for higher.

I want to be RSM but in order to do so I must stay for one year at my hometown and stay in cadets. However I will not be doing any education. Then once I age out I will apply for RMC. However, my parents do not want me "loafing around" for a year since they say it's a waste of time. I don't know what to do and I have already posted a forum. What can I do to stay in cadets?

 

[ouyin2000]

well in terms of rank, i would like to make CWO, but i will have to see what happens after my current RSM ages out in April (i have until november to age out)

my goals for cadets when i joined were to make at least WO, achieve NSCE, Master Cadet and go on a foreign exchange.

so far i have done all of them except the exchange, which i hope i can get close to after this summer, by getting accepted for the Jasper Expedition

what is the Jasper Expedition? i am going to guess it is in Jasper NP Alberta.  if you have a master cadet than that means you have done a staff. as far as i know you can not do an exchange after you do staff. (there are a few exceptions). you can still do a advanced camp. the only one you can do though is para. advaced camps are in Canada you have to be accepted to a camp out side of Canada for it to be an exchange

 

[ouyin2000]

yes you can do a foreign exchange even if you have done staff, they changed that rule a year or 2 ago

the Jasper Expedition is the Annual Domestic Expedition (like Costa Rica is this year's International Expedition)

its not a foreign exchange, as its a week or two spent in Jasper, Alberta hiking, camping, horseback riding, glacier climbing, etc

it takes place a week after summer camp ends

 

[Zedic_1913]

MWO Forbes, would you happen to know where I could get some information on that?

There is also the International Expedition to Costa Rica which I am considering applying for.

 

[ouyin2000]

yes i can and yes i will

These are from the Pac Region website, so the best information would be to go to your own region's website

[Zedic_1913]

Thanks, I had the information for Costa Rica from the Army Cadet League website.

Central Region very rarely puts any form of information on their website (I believe most of it comes through CadetNet), I should have known to check Pacific Region.

Also to add, when I did exchange in 2003 we had a few cadets that were Staff Cadets in the previous summers, so yes it is allowed.

yes they changed that rule a couple years ago, i believe 2002 was the first summer they let staff cadets go on exchange

I chose MWO for the Air Cadet equivilent of f/sgt. I'm a sgt now and if I get accepted to ROTP next year it will be my last year making f/sgt the highest I can go before having to leave. Too bad I can't do ROTP and stay in cadets, I guess there's always the CIC atleast.

 

[ouyin2000]

sorry to burst your bubble, but FSgt is not equivalent to MWO

CWO - WOI
MWO - WOII
WO - FSgt
Sgt - Sgt

so if you want to get FSgt, your equivalent would be Warrant Officer

i believe there is at least a thread or 2 on this topic around here somewhere...

 

[condor888000]

Here's one of them as a matter of fact...

wow i never knew that. i will have to tell my friend he wants to do an exchange but has already done staff. he thought he couldn't do it. thats cool

so the jasper thing is like the leadership and challenge but you don't quite get to do as much because you have less time?  is there a badge for it?

i want to try and get on it is sounds like a lot of fun

 

[ouyin2000]

every year, a different Region will host the International Expedition, and another region will host the Domestic Expedition.

these trips are usually 2 weeks in length and take place in august-september right after camp

senior cadets are allowed to apply but must have an exemplary service, such as Master Cadet, Gold fitness, High NSCE Marks, etc
