I was just wondering if anybody knew if missing mandatory parades if you were sick or had homework etc. affects promotion and such? Thanks a lot. Great forums by the way.
If you are sick, call in sick
if you have studies coming up, call in advance and get "leave" / permission to be absent.
If they know where you are and they trust that you are doing your best to be there when you can, then they will not penalize you for shirking your responsibilities
school, family and health come before cadets. If you are unable to attend a parade night, call your corps and explain your abscence. You shouldn't be penalised for this, unless it happend night after night.
My unit uses a system based on points. You get 1 point for every parade that your attend. If you call your flight commander before the parade point and tell them your not going to be there with a valid excuse, then you are marked down excused and given .75 points. If you decide not to show up without calling your flight commander with a valid excuse then you are given 0 points. My unit does use attendance when determining who to promote and who to send to camp.
I have never missed a cadet night because of homework and I play hockey and I have a job. Its possible, manage your time.
