Training covers a whole range of subjects, including citizenship, aviation, sports, marksmanship and so much more.
Usually, weekly optional training on Thursdays includes Band, marksmanship, biathlon, drill team and more. Obviously during the current situation, training may be different. We will communicate how these events may happen, in the next several weeks.
Ground School -- For cadets who will be 16 before 1 September 2024, Ground School is an option, where cadets will receive instruction from a certified pilot in preparation for application for the Glider Pilot Scholarship or the Power Pilot Scholarship. Younger cadets may also be eligible to attend Ground School, but won't be able to apply until they are old enough.
That doesn't include events like Gliding, Field Training Exercises and other events. In the past we have visited Hamilton Warplane Museum, Billy Bishop Airport, and have travelled to Marine Corps Recruiting Base Parris Island, Washington and more.
