Gliding Tomorrow

All;

Gliding tomorrow is still on, the official statement from the Officer Commanding is that we will see what we can do, but hopefully we will get everyone up.

Make sure you dress for the weather. It seems to always be more cold on the airfield. This includes wearing boots as the airfield (which we will be spending most of our time on) is currently very wet.

Cadets not dressed for the weather and that do not have proper foot wear will not be flying.

Timing: 845-1200hrs

Make sure to bring:

  • Health Card
  • Water bottle
  • Snacks
  • Toque, gloves/mitts
  • Winter Jacket
  • Boots

Parents that want to take photos may be permitted, speak with flight staff on arrival. Parents are also required to wear the proper footwear.

Plus, the clocks roll back tonight so make sure to accommodate your alarms.

Have a great night,

Correction from WROs for tonight’s dress

All;

The cadet dress for tonight’s parade is incorrectly listed as C3B.

Tonights dress will actually be C3 (routine training dress, aka uniform with tunics). Cadets are also reminded to bring parkas/civilian winter jackets and black gloves in the event we have opening/closing parades outside.

If you are unsure about the different orders of dress, please review http://87eagle.ca/resources/numbered-orders-of-dress/
