The training schedule for Nov/Dec will be posted next week.

ANNUAL VALIDATIONS
We still have quite a number of missing Annual Validation Forms.  Below is the list of missing validation forms.  We require these to be turned in ASAP, as you risk being removed from our system. If that occurs, then you will be required to re-apply.  



SUPPLY/UNIFORMS
  • FTUs have not yet been received at the Squadron level.  We are experiencing delays with the supplier at this time. 
  • Once uniforms and FTUs are available, and it is safe to do so, Capt Ocran will reach out to Cadets to hand these out. 
COVID-19 COURSE 
  • A reminder that all Cadets must complete the COVID-19 course as noted in previous announcements and on the web page.  
  • Your Certificate MUST have your name and the date you completed the course that is automatically populated when you pass the test.  [If this is missing - it will be returned to you and will not be accepted.]
  • Please complete this sooner rather than later, so that you are not rushed to have this completed at a later time. 
How to access the course is posted on the website or click here:  How to Access COVID-19 Course
