COMMANDING OFFICER’S UPDATE
The training year is going by very fast so far. Supply has been very busy getting cadets into uniform with many more to go. Supply will come and get the cadets throughout the training night when uniforms are available and ready to be handed out. Each week a few more cadets are getting their uniforms.
We have had a very large influx of new cadets join the squadron. As such getting uniforms out to everyone is taking a little longer than anticipated. Please be patient, the Supply staff are working as fast as they can with the uniform items we have on hand and the ones we have ordered as well.
Please ensure you are checking the communication board inside the unit on a regular basis. Lists will be posted if we are needing to see any cadets for additional paperwork, important information is also posted there throughout the night for reference.
