For the Cadets who ARE attending Summer CTC’s Training.
Try on your UNIFORMS today & tomorrow and if anything needs exchanging, I will make myself available at the Cadet Hall this Wednesday (July 3rd) from 6PM – 8PM.
Just show up with the items that you need exchanged and I will be happy to get you sorted out so you are comfortable at your CTC’s this summer.
Regards, 2Lt Carter
