The air cadet thread

[yoman]

Those are already given out.  I like the service medal just because i don't think enough medals exist for Air Cadets.  I would make the criteria to be level training complete though instead of 4 years in.

I agree that we don't have a lot of medals. On the other hand I think we have to many badges on the uniform. But that's another story.

This is my first time here, and just randomly found this forum, so ya... :S
I'm kinda not used to this area...
but brief intro...
I'm F/Sgt. Au from 351 Silverstar Sqn. in Markham
actually... we're 351 Silverstar Wing now lol

You'd still be a squadron even if you parade in Wing...

 

[condor888000]

Personally, I've never really gotten the point of parading as a wing, in effect wouldn't you be increasing the amount of admin? And I know we already have a devil of a lot of admin work each week......

 

[yoman]

I haven't seen any big changes to the way they run it at my unit. Most of the way they do things stayed the same.
But who knows I don't do admin stuff.

Their isn'tt a difference as to how a unit is run, whether it is a Squadron or is big enough to become a Wing.  You just have more Officers and hopefully a big enough facility.  Usually if you have a Wing size unit for long enough, they will create another unit to ease the numbers providing the demographics are right.  One of the jobs of the Air Cadet League

We have been a wing for about a year so far. Are facilities are very good, only problem is on parade. We are forced to do elbow dressings because of the size of our unit.

I'm hoping the Air Cadet League doesn't decide to split us up one day. 

 

[condor888000]

Yeah, we have enough sqn's in Ottawa as is.

How about your own glider and cessna 172?

And what happened to you being the drill NCO? Did they finally realise you don't like drill? 

 

[PViddy]

Shouldn't every NCO be the drill NCO ?

Sir, his unit has specialised NCO's in certain areas. He was the drill NCO before. Now he is the training NCO.

I would like to think every NCO was a drill NCO.
