FOR THE CADET & PARENTS

The Air Cadet program started in 1941 when a group of civilian volunteers set up a country-wide

voluntary organization to help stimulate an interest in flying and aviation. Many cadets eventually

entered wartime service with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF).

Following the end of the war, the Air Cadet program remained in place. Its role changed to meet the

needs of society and its young people. The Five Key Program Principles of the Air Cadet Program

are as follows:

Invite all Canadian Youth

Instill Canadian Military Values

Develop Citizenship, Leadership and Fitness

Balance Safety and Challenge

Leave a Positive Lifelong Impact

Everything we do in Air Cadets can be summed up in the motto of the program:

To Learn, To Serve, To Advance

The Royal Canadian Air Cadet Program is a unique partnership between the Canadian Forces and

the Air Cadet League. This partnership can be found at all levels of the program:

The National Level – The Air Cadet League of Canada – www.aircadetleague.com

The Provincial Level – Ontario Provincial Committee – www.aircadetleague.on.ca

The Local Level – Squadron Sponsoring Committee – www.809cadets.ca

Each squadron is sponsored by a local organization. This can be a service club such as a branch

of the Legion or the Air Force Association, a group of clubs or a parent’s association. The sponsors

form a Sponsoring Committee that assists in the operation of the squadron. The Sponsoring

Committee is responsible for fund raising, securing facilities for the squadron to hold parades and to

assist in recruiting both cadets and suitable adults to enroll as officers and sponsor members.

Each squadron is staffed by a group of officers, civilian instructors and volunteers under the

direction of the Commanding Officer (CO). The CO is responsible for supervising the operation of

the squadron and the implementation of the training program. The CO and his/her team organize the

training program according to national standards and plan and implement various training activities

during the week and on weekends.

At the provincial and national levels, the Canadian Forces and the

Air Cadet League work cooperatively to provide the necessary

resources to support the squadrons at the local level. This includes

provision of uniforms and training for officers and cadets, aircraft and

gliders for the flying program as well as administrative support for

squadrons and sponsoring committees. Without this unique partnership,

the Air Cadet program would not be as successful as it is today.

FEES n/a $ 60 per cadet owing to OPC-ACL

each year

$60 for one book of Lottery Tickets

per cadet each year

FEES: CADET & PARENT RESPONSIBILITIES

There is a $120 yearly fee to join an Air Cadet squadron. This will be paid on the first

night of Cadet Training in September, or the first night that the cadet attends – whichever comes

first. This fee covers the Ontario Provincial Committee (OPC) assessment fee of $60 per cadet and

the cost ($60) of one book of OPC Lottery Tickets. The cadet will receive an 809 Tshirt (for sports)

and an 809 Ball Cap.

*Each cadet will be given a book of OPC Lottery Tickets. If the cadet

wishes, he/she may sell these tickets to family and friends, for a total

return of $60 – thus reducing the cost of the program to $60 per

year. Otherwise, the cadet/parent/guardian may assume all the

tickets for themselves, thus increasing their chances of winning

one of the many impressive prizes.

In addition to paying the $120 yearly fee (including the lottery tickets), each

cadet is expected to fulfill the following obligations and responsibilities:

Taking part in fund-raising activities. Bottle Drives & Tag Days: These efforts raise the necessary funds to help the squadron plan and implement

various training activities. Additional fees of $100 per cadet/per day apply if the cadet is unable to participate

in the scheduled fundraising days. These fees, payable by post-dated cheque, are collected in advance of the

fundraising activities, and cashed in the event that the cadet is unable to attend or only fulfills part of a

required fundraising day/weekend.

REMEMBER: Cadets are responsible for ensuring that they attend all required fundraising days. These

days are announced well in advance and posted on the website as a reminder the week before. Each cadet

WILL attend: two shifts for EACH Tagging weekend, two COMPLETE days for Bottle Drives (one in Sept

& one in Jan). Each PARENT is required to submit THREE(3) cheques, post-dated, in the amounts of

$100.00 each. For EVERY cadet, the parent will sign and date a Fundraising Understanding Form,

provided by the Sponsoring Committee, so that everyone is clear on the policy. If a cadet only meets half of

a tagging weekend requirement (1 shift instead of the required 2), or leaves early/arrives late for a bottle

drive, the cheque will be cashed. In the case of a special occurrence or emergency situation, please contact

the Commanding Officer directly. No accommodations will be made after the weekend has passed. Although

the additional cost of $300 per cadet seems high, it is completely avoided by ensuring your cadet attends.

Fundraising events are most successful when everyone attends. They are an opportunity for growth,

camaraderie, and development of esprit de corps. Please make it a priority for your cadet and family and join

us as we make this squadron the best place to be. If you know in advance of a conflict – don’t wait! Contact

the Commanding Officer to make special arrangements.

REGISTRATION FEE: cheque made payable to 809 Air Cadet Squadron. Payable on first night. You will

be given a receipt. Unfortunately, the fees for OPC/ACL tickets and assessment are not currently recognized

as Fitness Tax Credit Items by DND or Revenue Canada.

ATTENDANCE FEES: 3 post-dated cheques for the:

1. WINTER TAG DAY – 1 December 2017,

2. JAN BOTTLE DRIVE – 13 January 2018, and

3. SPRING TAG DAY – 30 March 2018. Each made payable to 809 Air Cadet Squadron for $100.00 each. Cheque will be cashed immediately

following any event that the cadet fails to participate in. See details above or refer to your copy of the

Fundraising Understanding Form. For questions please contact the Commanding Officer directly. All

cheques will either be returned to parents or shredded (depending on your choice on the Fundraising

Understanding Form) following each activity in the event that they are not cashed.

CADET & PARENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Attending all training nights, training activities and parades. It is important for cadets to attend all scheduled activities. Cadets who do not attend parade nights regularly, will fall behind in their training and will not be as successful as their peers. The same rule applies for weekend training. Attendance at special parades, such as the Annual Review is critical. If your son/daughter has a legitimate reason why he/she cannot attend a squadron activity, they are to call the Squadron office well in advance. Attendance is often the key deciding factor in summer training applications – cadets that attend regularly receive a higher priority on the summer training list from the Commanding Officer.

Taking care of the uniform Each cadet will be issued a uniform when he/she completes the intake program. The squadron has a fixed budget to purchase uniforms each year. It is critical that the cadet takes care of his/her uniform, keeps it cleaned and pressed and returns it to the squadron when he/she leaves or outgrows the uniform. Each cadet is given training on how to look after their uniform. Ask your son/daughter to share this information with you. A good place to start is by purchasing a kiwi brand black polish kit with kiwi (yellow) polishing cloth. Males: get a haircut & shave. Females: no more than one stud per ear, and no make-up. All dress regulations are NOT flexible – they can be viewed on the squadron website.

Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork There are permission forms for weekend training, summer camp applications, information bulletins, training schedules, parent meetings etc. This information is sent home for you the parent/guardian, as well as the cadet. Please ensure that the forms are completed and returned in a timely manner. Some forms are NATIONAL requirements. If you ever have questions, please feel free to contact the Commanding Officer directly.

STANDING ORDERS

There are complete Squadron Standing Orders available on the squadron website. Below are some common orders

every cadet needs to know:

If you are unable to attend a training session, THE CADET must call their flight commander or alternatively

the squadron (905-468-7584) to notify us of your absence.

If you must leave early from an activity, you MUST notify the Administration Officer prior to leaving. If you

arrive late, you must report to the Administration Officer.

You MUST carry your Health Card with you at all times when attending cadets (Regular Wednesdays, Sports,

Drill, Field Training Exercises, Gliding, etc.)

When addressing an Officer, you must come to attention and salute prior to speaking with him/her. Address

them using their rank and last name, or “Sir” or “Ma’am”. You will also salute after you finish speaking with

them.

When addressing a cadet of higher rank, you must come to attention while speaking with them. Address them

using their rank and last name. If they are a Warrant Officer, you may use “Sir” or “Ma’am”.

Officers on the parade square must be saluted, even if they are not wearing a headdress.

The Chain of Command must be used. Questions must be directed to your flight commander or flight 2IC

first.

All CASH, CHEQUES or issues related to money/fees must be handled directly between the PARENT and

TREASURER of the Sponsoring Committee. DO NOT send money with your cadet. The Treasurer will be

available at the beginning and end of each Wed night in Sept, then the first Wed of each month.

If you need uniform parts, notify your flight commander or 2IC.

Report any injuries to your nearest senior cadet or officer IMMEDIATELY.

Be courteous to your fellow class mates. Allow others to express their ideas and opinions. Only one person at

a time speaks during class.

OFFICER RANK STRUCTURE

The Officers in the Cadet Program are members of the Cadet Instructor Cadre (CIC) a branch of the Reserve Force.

They hold Queen’s Commissions and are granted the same privileges as all officers in the Canadian Forces.

These are some of the officer ranks you can expect to see throughout the year. You will learn the remaining ranks

during your regular training.

Major (Maj) – You will most likely only see a Major at the Gliding Centre or when the Area Elemental

Advisor comes to the Squadron. This is also the rank of the Detachment Commander out of Toronto.

Captain (Capt) – The Commanding Officer (CO) is typically a Captain.

Lieutenant (Lt) – pronounced “Left-tennant” would be a common rank to see in your cadet career. Often the

Training Officer at a cadet unit.

Second Lieutenant (2Lt) – pronounced “second left-tennant” is the rank of an officer who has completed 1

year as an Officer Cadet and completed Basic Training. They have been presented with their commission and

are saluted.

Officer Cadet (OCdt) – This would be an officer who has just enrolled in the Canadian Forces and is

awaiting training. Officer Cadets do not hold a Queen’s Commission and are therefore not saluted

Civilian Instructors (CI) and Civilian Volunteers (CV) also work at our unit. They are either paid specialists or adult

volunteers. Although they do not wear a Canadian Forces uniform, they are to be addressed as "Sir" or

"Ma'am" respectively. You will come to attention when you are speaking with them, but you will not salute.

AIR CADET RANK STRUCTURE

It is important to know that cadets are not members of the Canadian Forces. Although your rank may look like the CF

ranks, you do not hold any authority over anyone outside of the Cadet Program, nor are you subject to the Code of

Service Discpline (like al CF members).

Warrant Officer 1st Class (WO1) – Only one in the Squadron. This would be the Cadet Squadron

Commander (an appointment – does not require promotion to the rank of WOI). Often completed Level 5.

Warrant Officer 2nd Class (WO2)– Typically 2 in the Squadron. They would be the Deputy

Cadet Squadron Commander and Squadron Warrant Officer (both appointments, not promotions).

Usually in Level 5.

Flight Sergeant (FSgt) – This would be the Flight Commander (an appointment, not a promotion). Typically

there will be two at 809 Squadron. They have completed Level 4.

Sergeant (Sgt) – These would be the second in command of the flight, or senior cadets who have completed

Level 3.

Flight Corporal (FCpl) – These are cadets who have completed Level 2 training. A junior cadet.

Corporal (Cpl) – These are cadets who have completed Level 1. A junior cadet.

Leading Air Cadet (LAC) – These are cadets who have participated in the Level 1 training program for

over 5 months. A junior cadet.

(No Rank) Cadet (Cdt) – These are cadets who have recently enrolled and have not completed 5 months.

WEARING OF THE POPPY

Poppies will be worn on the cadet uniform starting on the last Friday in October until November 12 th.

Shirt and Cadet Tunic (left pocket)

All-season jacket

DRESS STANDARDS

Wedge Your wedge must always be worn while in uniform. It is worn with the buttons two fingers from the brow and either

centered on the head or tilted to the right. It is the traditional cap of the Royal Canadian Air Force, and has been worn

by the air cadets for over 70 years. It must be kept clean and lint free.

Tunic All pockets must be buttoned. All the buttons shall be done up, except the top button. The belt is to be twist free, with

the belt excess to the left. It shall be clean and wrinkle free. There shall be no creases on the sleeves. Ensure all

badges are correctly affixed as per dress regulations. All dress regs can be found on the squadron website.

Pants Trousers are to be well pressed, with sharp creases. The creases must be centered on the front extending up to the waist

band to the first belt loops. The creases on the back are centered and extend to the waist band forming a “V”.

NOTE: do not place the iron directly to the uniform. Use an ironing cloth, which will prevent the uniform from

becoming shiny. An ironing cloth can be an old cotton to-shirt.

Shirt Your shirt is to be clean and wrinkle free. It is highly recommended you wash your shirt either weekly or every other

week. The only crease in the shirt should be down the centre of each arm beginning at the centre of each epaulette.

Rank slip-ons must be worn at all times. The nametag will be worn centered and immediately above the right pocket

flap while in summer dress.

Socks You MUST wear the grey wool socks you were issued. If you find the wool socks uncomfortable, you may wear thin

socks under the wool socks. Ask your senior cadets for ways to make this work. They know all the tricks!

Necktie The necktie shall be clean and tightly done up in either the Windsor (preferred) or the

four-in hand knot (see below). Double Windsor (not single) is required.

Jewellery You are permitted to wear a wrist watch, Medic-Alert bracelet and one ring on each

hand. Earrings must be of stud type centered in the ear lobe. No other piercing is

permitted. Band-Aids are not permitted to cover-up piercings.

Boots Your boots must be laced straight across, see

illustration. Your entire boot is to be highly

shone. Use an old toothbrush with polish to

blacken the welts. Kiwi black polish and cloth

will produce the highest shine. Apply a

moderate amount of polish to the area you will

polish first. Wrap the Kiwi cloth tightly around

your finger and dampen it with water. You

should work on one section of the boot at a time.

Apply the polish in a small circular motion. Continue with the circular motion

until you can no longer see the circles formed by the polish. Breathe on the area,

causing a fog, then polish that into the boot. Repeat until highly shone. Take care

to ensure not to scuff your boots.

Belt You must wear the issued black webbing belt at all times. The silver buckle must be centered on your pants, tip must

not extend beyond the buckle.

All Season Jacket As the weather dictates, only the All Season jacket may be worn in uniform. The fleece liner is acceptable to be worn

by itself. Rank slip-ons must be worn. The zipper shall be done up at all times when worn. The zipper should not

extend below 6in from the neck.

Hair Males – your hair must not touch your collar or your ears. Sideburns must not

extend below the mid-section of the ear. Cadets must be shaven if required.

Only a moustache is approved.

Females – your hair must be neat and shall not extend below the lower edge of

the collar. Braids are acceptable – see the dress regulations on the website for

photos.

Dress Standards are NOT flexible. Meet

or exceed the standard to help your flight

earn points toward the Top Flight Award.

SUMMER TRAINING

Each year, hundreds of Air Cadets have the opportunity to attend summer training centres

throughout the country. There are seven levels of courses a cadet can apply for:

General Training - Two weeks in length

Introductory Specialty courses - Three weeks in length

Advanced Specialty courses - Six weeks in length

National Courses - Six weeks in length

Glider or Power Pilot Scholarships - Seven weeks in length

Staff Cadet - Seven weeks in length

International Air Cadet Exchange - Three weeks in length

The courses cover a wide range of subjects ranging from basic training to music, athletics,

leadership and flying. Senior cadets also have the opportunity for summer employment at cadet

training centres. There is no cost to attend summer courses however the available spaces are

limited. There are more Air Cadets who want to attend summer training than there are spots!

The Commanding Officer has to establish a priority list

for each summer training course. A cadet’s position on

the priority list is determined by a number of factors

including the cadet’s age, interest and aptitude in the

particular course, previous summer training and level of

participation, attendance at local squadron activities and

joining date. The final decision on which cadets go is

made by the local Cadet Detachment (Regional Cadet

Support Unit (RCSU) Central in Toronto, ON).

In order to apply for a summer camp, each cadet needs to fill out an application form. These forms

are sent out in November. The forms are to be taken home, filled out completely, and returned to

the squadron promptly. There is a Parent Briefing each year – attend and have your questions

answered in real time.

NATIONAL SUMMER TRAINING COURSES

Applications are administered by the Air Cadet League, and have a more involved review process.

The application package is sent home in November. Supporting documentation including a

narrative and school transcripts must be included in the package. You can assist your

son/daughter/ward in completing these forms. There is also a written test for flying and gliding

scholarship candidates in January and interviews take place for all National Course applicants in

February. These courses are reserved for only the most deserving cadets. Level, attendance,

attitude, proficiency and leadership ability are all considered. The Summer Training Application

parent briefing in November is a must for any cadets applying for National Courses.

All summer training opportunities are to be taken seriously. Courses are in high demand and

participation is not to be cancelled at the last minute without extenuating circumstances. By

attending the summer training information night in early June, you can help your cadet be better

prepared for the demands of the course and for any unexpected obstacles (such as homesickness)

that may occur. For more information about Summer Training, including application procedures,

timelines, and possible course dates, contact the Squadron Commanding Officer.

CADET DISCIPLINE

All cadets are expected to conduct themselves in a manner best representing the Cadet Movement.

It is assumed that each cadet will always follow this policy. However, if a cadet

does not meet this requirement, several steps will take place:

1st Incident: Verbal Warning, Red Chit issued, filed in Cadet Trg File

2nd Incident: Written Report, Parents Contacted

3rd Incident: Written Report, Parental Meeting

At the parental meeting, all parties will discuss a suitable consequence for the

cadet’s actions. It is hoped that with continuous contact between the cadet, parent

and squadron that no cadet will be asked to leave 809 Sqn. However, as stated in the Commanding

Officer’s Policies, any incident involving a Drug, Alcohol or Smoking offence will be dealt with

swiftly and in the best interest of the Squadron.

All Red Chits issued will be removed two times a year to coincide with promotion and awards

meetings. This is to ensure that no cadet is penalized more than once for one infraction. Once

removed from the file the chit will be destroyed and the matter considered closed provided a second

or third incident has not occurred.

Blue Chits will be issued after each observed demonstration of exemplary behaviour. These chits

will remain permanently on the cadet’s file. These chits help with Merit Review Boards and

promotion to Warrant Officer.

Every cadet will be treated with respect at all times. It is

important to remember that this is a volunteer organization and that we must endeavour to be good

listeners and problem solvers who always have the cadet’s and Squadron’s best interest at heart.

With any disciplinary incident, the CO is informed at all times and will conduct all

disciplinary/parental meetings.

PROMOTIONS

In order to be considered for promotion, a cadet must first meet specific national standards

(attendance, time in current rank, training levels completed, and summer courses attended). These

establish the minimum standards for promotion. Local squadron standards for promotion include:

participation in fundraising activities, weekend training, competing on squadron teams, dress, drill

and deportment. Each year, the cadets are given a checklist of milestones to achieve in order to

understand what they need to accomplish before they are suitable for promotion.

Promotions take place once per training year depending on rank, but are not the only

way we recognize outstanding performance. Throughout the year, Cadet of the Night,

free canteen, and Blue Chits are ways we recognize cadets that exceed the

expectations for their level/rank. These all contribute to promotions and

appointments for the next training year.

The decision to promote a cadet is made by the Commanding Officer in consultation

with the squadron staff, and when the rank of Warrant Officer is considered, in consultation with

the Squadron Sponsoring Committee and Regional Cadet Detachment. A Merit Review Board is

conducted where the cadet’s training file is reviewed and scored, and the cadet must sit an

interview. Please refer to Annex G for more detailed information.

HOW CAN PARENTS HELP? The most important thing is to show an interest in your cadet’s success and training and to support them during the year. There are many ways that you can help your son/daughter be successful. These include: � Volunteer your time to help at Bottle Drives and Tag Days

with sorting and/or driving; � Attend all Parent Briefings on Wed nights scheduled this

year on: 27 Sep 17 (Welcome Info Night), 15 Nov 17 (Summer Training Applications) & 6 Jun 18 (Summer Training). All meetings begin at 630pm in classroom 1.

� Help them to organize their after school time so that there will be time for Air Cadets and schoolwork. Including Air Cadet activities such as weekend training on the family calendar;

� Try to avoid conflicts with major activities such as Annual Reviews; � Expect to attend every training weekend and sports/drill competition; � Transport your son/daughter (and maybe their friends) to parade nights and picking them up at

the end of the activity; � Encourage them to participate in squadron teams and activities. The more they put in to the

squadron, the more they will get out of it; � If they sign up for an activity, please ensure sure they show up – this avoids disappointment of

others who may not make it on the first list to go; � If you have a concern or question regarding your cadet, please contact the Commanding Officer

directly. To avoid confusion or misinformation, please do not contact any of the other staff members or sponsors by email or phone;

� If you have a particular skill or would like to become more involved talk to the CO (LieutenantLemoine) or the Squadron Sponsoring Committee Chair (Gary Zalepa) about becoming a Staff volunteer or a member of the Sponsoring Committee.

CONTACT INFORMATION Please feel free to contact the Commanding Officer (CO) at the Squadron on Mon or Wed nights. As a parent, the CO is always your first point of contact for any issues or questions that you may have. Although we will always try to make ourselves available to you, please understand that this is a part-time position, and we have families, other employment and schooling to manage concurrently. See Annexes below for additional information. They are all available on the website under Cadet Resources. Welcome to 809 Newark Squadron, and we hope you and your cadet enjoy what we consider the best youth organization in Canada.
