COMMUNICATION

Who do you call if you have questions about…….

- Upcoming Events - Care of Uniform

- Event Organization - General questions about Cadets

CALL YOUR INSTRUCTOR! Your Instructor will maintain constant communication with you regarding events

and should have given you their phone number and e-mail address so you can contact them. If the Instructors are

unable to help you, call your Level Officer. Cadets are required to follow this chain of command. Parents should

encourage their Cadets to use the Chain of Command at all times.

Cadets are responsible for checking the Squadron Bulletin Board on a WEEKLY basis. The board is posted at the

school foyer. All activity sign-up sheets and monthly schedules will be posted outside the Parade Square.

Primary means of communication our website and email via the website. Parents, please sign up for any emails to be

sent to you on our website. Mass emailing will not be utilized this year unless absolutely necessary. Cadets must

Page 4: CADET MANUAL - Amazon Web Services€¦ · CADET MANUAL September 2013 – June 2014 Terry Plant, Captain Commanding Officer Squadron Phone 780-405-6585 This handbook is considered

4

ensure they provide accurate and up to date information, including e-mail address changes, phone number or address

changes etc.

CELL PHONES

Cadets are not encouraged to bring cell phones to parade nights or other activities. Cadets who choose to bring their

cell phones shall turn them off until the activity is completed.

Any cadet using their cell phone during a parade night or activity will have the phone removed from their possession

and returned when the activity has completed. It is the responsibility of the cadet to retrieve their cell phone from the

office.

MISSING PARADES, ACTIVITIES OR EVENTS

If you will be unable to make it to regularly scheduled parade nights or exercises, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to

call the Squadron and inform the Officers.

780-405-6585

Leave a CLEAR message with your rank, name and the reason you cannot attend. Frequent excused absences will

reduce your opportunities for promotion or may exclude you from participating in special events.

TRANSPORTATION REGULATIONS

Cadets must ensure transportation is available and pickup must be within 15 minutes of the end of the Parade night or

activity. Failure to do so will result in your being excluded from future Cadet Activities or functions. (Our Officers

need to be able to leave in a timely manner as well.)

Cadets may drive themselves to the Squadron or to meet a bus for an activity provided the Cadet is insured on the

vehicle being driven. However, a Cadet, as a driver, may not transport other cadets at any time. Carpooling by

parents is highly recommended.

Cadets must travel directly from home or school to the Squadron and directly home again.

Because of insurance purposes; parade nights and all events that are in uniform, cadets are REQUIRED to travel in

uniform at all times. (this means you may not travel in civvies & change once you get to the activity)

The Canadian Forces provides the Squadron with transportation for most activities. Cadets are not authorized to drive

themselves to an activity that is not at the Local Headquarters (LHQ). Cadets are only authorized to drive to the

designated Rendezvous point (normally the LHQ) or as determined by the Commanding Officer.

Questions should be directed to your Level Officer.

Paying of compliments

We usually think of a compliment as a pleasing comment. In the military, compliments are somewhat similar. The

reason for saluting is, in one word, respect. The air cadets salute because they have respect for the organization in

which they serve. A salute between an Officer and a Service person is a sign of mutual trust and respect. It is a

privilege granted to members of a service to use this form of greeting.

Page 5: CADET MANUAL - Amazon Web Services€¦ · CADET MANUAL September 2013 – June 2014 Terry Plant, Captain Commanding Officer Squadron Phone 780-405-6585 This handbook is considered

5

Air cadets shall address officers by their rank followed by the Officer’s surname, eg. Lieutenant Johnson. In

speaking to an officer, it is common to use the expression “Sir” or ‘Ma’am” and not the rank and surname. When

referring to officers by the position they hold, use their full title eg. Supply Officer, Commanding Officer etc.

Warrant Officers are addressed by their rank and surname, eg. Warrant Officer Jones. NCOs are addressed as

Sergeant or Corporal, or by the rank and surname.

Cadets shall salute all Officers. If Officers approach a formed group of cadets, the first cadet to recognize an

Officer will call the group to attention.

SALUTING

Cadets in uniform (and wearing headdress) shall salute ALL Officers, even if the Officer is not in uniform.

When a Cadet addresses or is addressed by a commissioned Officer, the Cadet shall salute. The Cadet shall

salute again when the conversation has ended.

Cadets do NOT salute cadets at any time.

When NOT in formation, Cadets will salute during any National Anthem

When the ensign is being raised or lowered, Cadets shall face the ensign, stand at attention and salute.

When given permission to enter an Officer’s office or when leaving and Officers office. This is to include

entering and exiting 755’s office area.

You do NOT salute when you are not wearing your head dress. In such a case you should use an eyes left or

right or come to attention.

Saluting and Respect

1. While attending any Squadron function, all personnel are to address each other by their rank and last name only.

This applies to any function whether in uniform or not. First names should not be used.

2. A high standard of military bearing is to be maintained and proper respects will be observed between all ranks at

all times. Compliments will be carried out in a smart and efficient manner.

3. Staff cars bearing official flags will be saluted.

4. Saluting is showing respect for the Queen’s commission as held by the Commissioned Officers. A

Commissioned Officer is any Officer in the Canadian Forces from Second Lieutenant and above.

5. On Officer Cadet is not a Commissioned Officer and thus is not saluted. Coming to attention and checking the

arms shall show proper respect. All salutes given, however, shall be returned.

6. All, regardless of rank, will recognize the Commanding Officer. Officers of the same rank of the CO are not

required to salute the CO unless on parade.

7. Cadets will NOT salute NCOs nor will NCOs salute fellow NCOs. Coming to attention and checking the arms

shall show proper respect.

8. All Cadets and Squadron Personnel shall show the proper respect to each other in the following areas:

a. Parade Square

b. Entering and leaving the Office Area

c. Outdoors

d. The main foyer of Muir Lake Community School

e. Hallways

9. Saluting will not be required in the following areas:

a. In classrooms

b. Canteen area (during Second break only)

c. Washrooms/Facilities

Proper respect by checking of arms shall be shown in all non-saluting areas.

REQUESTS

You can make a request, through the chain of command, to see an Officer. You may speak with the Commanding

Officer, Training Officer, Administration Officer, Supply Officer, or Level Officers. Please respect the policy of

requesting to speak with an officer unless it is a matter for an UCCMA Officer.

UCCMA OFFICER

Lieutenant Wolff is 755 Parklands’ Unit Cadet Conflict Management Advisor (UCCMA). Any harassment or

conflict matters should be addressed directly to an UCCMA. However, you may approach any other Officer if you

feel more comfortable.

The Chain of Command does NOT need to be followed for such matters. You do NOT need an appointment or

make a request to talk with an Officer regarding these matters.

DUTIES

A duty NCO schedule will be posted weekly. Please take the time to find out when you will be ‘on duty’. The tasks

performed by the duty corporal/sergeant will not be difficult but are important to the smooth running of the

evening/event. Some of the duties may include (but not be limited to):

Setting up and taking down bulletin boards

Ensuring classes run on time (giving instructors a five minute warning and letting them know when

class time is over)

Ensuring cadets are paying proper compliments in the proper places

Maintaining appropriate behaviour in the boot rooms / hallways

SMOKING, ALCOHOL & DRUGS

SMOKING AND ALCOHOL

Smoking and drinking Alcoholic beverages are NOT allowed at any cadet function or while you are in uniform,

including travel time to and from your home. This rule is in effect for cadets who are 18 and in the cadet program.

It is illegal for minors to drink or smoke or for anyone to sell or give you alcoholic or tobacco products if you are

under 18 years of age. Anyone breaking these laws will face criminal charges.

Violations will result in expulsion from all cadet units.

DRUGS

Illegal substances are strictly prohibited at any cadet function or when travelling to and from a cadet function.

Anyone breaking these laws will face criminal charges. Remember, drugs stay in your system for several days after

Violations will result in expulsion from all cadet units.

IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO LIVE BY THE ABOVE RULES, THEN YOU SHOULD

RECONSIDER YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE CADET PROGRAM.

on any and all extra-curricular trips, tours and activities.

Cadets who do NOT attend the Annual Ceremonial Review (ACR) may lose their opportunity to attend Summer

Training the following training year. (The ACR is a MANDATORY event)

SUMMER TRAINING COURSES

The principal aim of summer training is to support and enhance training conducted at the LHQ. Summer training

also aims at providing each Squadron with skilled and qualified NCOs to assist he officers and instructors. Not all

cadets are able to attend the Training Centres. Selection of cadets for summer training positions is based on

attendance and merit at home Squadrons during the regular training year (Sep-Jun). Selection is also dependent on

the needs of the Squadron and quota available from the Training Centre. Approximately only 1/3 of the total cadet

population are offered summer training opportunities. Attending a Summer Training Centre is a privilege, not a

right.

SUMMER TRAINING COURSES are:

Held annually at designated Canadian Forces Bases

Are 2, 3, 6, or 7 weeks in duration (course specific)

Approximately 33% of all Cadets will be authorized to attend a summer course

No Cadet is “Guaranteed” a slot at a summer course

There are no registration fees or transportation* costs

Squadrons make their recommendations IAW quotas and cadet records

Applications must be returned to the Squadron on time (it will be announced each year). Some courses

have earlier deadlines for application so inquiries should be made early enough to ensure that the

application can be ready on time

Applicants must have been registered since 31 January and have attended 75% or more parade nights.
