It is a time to appreciate the comradeship and company of fellow service members and guests and to savour fine cuisine in an elegant setting. Tradition remains to this day one of the prime ingredients in air cadet esprit decorps.”

All;

The updated CJCR Dress Instructions are now available online on the Cadets.ca official website.

If a cadet has any questions in regards to the instructions they may ask their Chain of Command (CoC).

A uniform is an outward symbol of commitment, identity, and ethos. Coupled with overall appearance, the uniform is the most powerful visual expression of pride by the individual and is the primary means by which the public image of the Cadet and JCR Programs is fashioned. Uniforms identify all Cadets and JCRs as members of a cohesive and national youth organization.

Some highlights from the dress regulations:

1. Wear of Civilian Clothes (alongside the uniform);
2. Deportment;
3. Hair (including Facial Hair);
4. Body Adornment (Jewellery, Piercings and Makeup); and,
5. Orders of Dress.

Attached is the Routine Order for December. Highlights include the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum trip details, Mess Dinner, and holiday stand down.

Monthly Routine Orders (MRO) contain important information such as upcoming dates, dress, and more that are essential for cadets and cadet families.

Any questions, please contact your chain of command.

Have a great day,

Capt C. Bowman
Commanding Officer
