we, air cadets, learn how to fly a plane for free, manage air traffic on the YVR control tower, fire rifle for free, attend parades along side the regular army/RCMP, get paid when having fun in summer camps...

ahh, lucky you
even my friend in a lower level class got promoted to be a corporal
I guess I was not very involved and too quiet in cadet, getting not enough recognition =w=;;

I still remember for one rememberance parade
we had to stood attention for 2 hours (or something) in the cold and in the rain
rain was getting into my eyes ,but I couldn't rub it off cuz I was at attention

oh I love my basic training in the summer camp in Victoria
probably the heathiest days in my life: getting up at 6 doing my bunk and going to bed at 10 at night, haha. then classes and drill training for 2 weeks
I got homesick on the first day, but I ended up didn't really want to leave the base after the whole thing was done.

RayRay 發表於 2009-4-10 11:57

"You need a Firearms License and a Registration Card for the firearm to be in legal possession of a gun. "

what does it have to do with having a license for firing a gun?
I fired a rifle before too

"Summer inscet talking about snow"     This should be in Chinese  and sound like "Ha Chung Yu Shot" but myself and my computer is not type it out.
作者: 嘉嘉    時間: 2009-4-10 11:09

let me explain it with a little bit more detail if you didn't understand what i was talking about

ravemother said cadets get to FIRE a rifle for free (meaning you get to fire a gun, but does but not owning a gun)
then you asked if he holds a firearm license (which is only required if the person wants to possess a gun legally)

I was just pointing out what you were asking does not have relevant to what ravemother was saying. Unless you were just asking this question randomly or out of curiousity

Thank you very much for giving out information regarding Firearms Licence.  I am sorry my question is too ambiguous to confuse you. Let me rephrase the question like " Do you still practice range shooting or you go haunting ?"
作者: Coleslaw    時間: 2009-4-10 22:28

I was also in air cadet, 135 challenger, but that was quite a while ago. Was just an LAC when I left. I did go to a band summer camp.

To clarify, cadets is definitely not for kids to play. Cadets actually don't tolerate much "playing", they are very strict on discipline and sometimes can be harsh. But strict discipline doesn't mean you can't enjoy the activities. I loved going to the wilderness survival camping trips and through that I learned very valuable things irreplaceable from anywhere else. I also went to the summer camp, very strict hours to when you wake up and lights out. Everyone makes their own bed in a very specific way, and it is inspected. We had to march going from one building to another. And morning parade i think more than an hour everyday. I did enjoy my 3 weeks there and it was an important experience for teens to leave the comfort of home for a few weeks. I also got paid $60 a week.

I also went to range once, we fired hunting rifles. Cadets don't go hunting, range sessions are just for firing at targets.
作者: 嘉嘉    時間: 2009-4-11 00:51

where is 135? Is that in Vancouver?

yes, the commanders can be very harsh. They don't make fun of you, but they would definitely yell at you for reasons like why uniform isn't done properly or why you are staring around in the middle of drill training.

I really miss my days in the summer camp. haha, yeah, I remember marching everywhere too, and the hospital corners that were needed to be done on our bunks. Luckily I was only in the basic training camp, or else I would have to stand at attention next to my bunk every morning waiting for inspection

3 weeks? I thought summer camp for band is 6 weeks?
mine was 2 weeks in Albert head
作者: Coleslaw    時間: 2009-4-11 10:30

135 is in vancouver, the location is right next to the Molson Canadian factory at the base of the Burrard Bridge.

I was in basic band which was 3 weeks, the intermediate and advance ones which were 6 weeks. It may have changed since then though?

I see.  Do you practice "grouping" when you have the target range. How many rounds you dis and how many kind of "gun" you get on ?

It's possible but not everyone gets to do it. You need to have reached the age of 18 and probably of a bit higher rank by that time in order to be chosen as a candidate to take the pilot program. If you are chosen though the program is free, its a great way to get a pilot license. I think Air cadets take teens from 12-19, so you have to start fairly early and work up the ranks for the pilot program.

Other than the pilot program, air cadets studies airplanes and air traffic control. There are trips to local military air base to visit the control tower and look at the rescue airplanes, also chances to ride on small airplane. At the wilderness survival camps, the topics taught are geared towards the situation if you happened to crash land your plane in the BC forest. i.e. survival tips and tricks to use the local surroundings, building a tent from evergreen leaves and branches etc
