FWIW,I'm a type1 diabetic and I was attested 4 Jan 07. I've also just passed BOQ. It took 2 yrs for the paperwork to get through the system,but here I am. Talk to CFRC. Good Luck,I hope you make it.

I'm going for BOQ,8-17 May07 in Edmonton. Anyone else?

At my Corps(1292 LdSH(RC)RCACC) we use N0.7's for marksmanship& Dewat No.4.s for Guard &Flag Party. The Cadets love both and they really look sharp on parade.We also fix bayonets(Spike type) with Flag Pty. :salute:

Looking for Peter Hauenstein,Sonny Michaud & anyone from 2509 RCSigs RCACC in '72-'76.Contact John,flaco@telus.net (Edit by Moderator to place Corps info and dates in title.)

Thanks,Sloaner. I appreciate the info. :salute:

Does anybody know if CIC Pers are allowed to wear wwb's? I have a pair(red lining,hard sole)that I bought from CEL Surplus in '04,and our TrgO told me that I need a Dr's note. I have type 1 diabetes,so foot care &protection in cold weather are extra important. I usually wear mk 3"s except when...

I seriously believe that the Cadet Movement is the best thing for Canada's youth outside of the Christian Church(IMHO). I love it,and if the cadets do as well,then we're doing our job right. I originally got into cadets in 1972. The guy who recruited me is now a LCOL in the LdSH,and was a C/Sgt...

Diabetes is what stopped me from re-upping in my old Reg't during Gulf War 1. Thank GOD for the CIC. I get to work with a great bunch of Officers, CI's, CV's, and of course the best cadets in Canada(1292 LdSH(RC)RCACC). I love it! ;D

On 4 Jan 07,I was finally attested as an OCdt .I waited as fast as I could for the process to be completed(2 years). If you are waiting as well...wait faster! Barring any major health(type 1 diabetes,etc) or other issues,you'll get there too. Patience has it's own rewards. How long did your...

Hi. I was in 2509 from Oct 72 to Mar 74. Capt Ethier was CO

Friendly Fire is also available through Military Book Club.I've ordered a copy,and I'mlooking forward to reading it.MBC can be found online if anyone's interested.

I'm a C.I. with 1292 LdSH RCACC,and in our Corps,The RSM carries a pace stick,CSM and troop commanders (W.O.'s or Sgt.'s)have drill canes.

I'm not serving at present,although I am waiting as fast as I can to hear about my application to CIC. I'm 6'3" and I weigh about 210-215.Not too bad for a type 1 Diabetic(or,so says my Doc). :)

My app is in,so I'm waiting as fast as I can.Next steps are medical and interview.Meanwhile...I'm enjoying C.I. status with 1292 LdSH cadets in Calgary.No.1 Corps in Alberta,ya know!

Ya know,geo,I'd love to.The problem is...I'm 48,and I have type 1 diabetes.So I guess my only choice is CIC...if they'll have me,that is.

???Gee,that's odd. My Statement of Service(dated15 Jun 78),and my dad's from WW2,both indicate "Honourable"on line 6(Type of Retirement or Discharge.

Hey,thanks,Piker! That'l help a whole bunch. :salute:

I'm not sure that I'm in the right place,but... I am a civilian instructor with 1292 LdSH cadets in Calgary,and I need to know tac signs,their meaning,and unit sizes.Approx imate numbers of pers. in each unit would also be helpful. For some reason,this info was not taught to me when I was in...

I don't know about your corps,but in 1292 LdSH Cadets,the cadets wear combat rank insignia attatched to brassards with their field uniforms(combats).They also have cadet insignia(RCACC) sewn on to eliminate confusion.No nat'l flag crests,though.
