Trivia Night Correction

There is a correction to the posted time of the Trivia Night this Saturday (15 Feb 14). The doors will open at 7:30 p.m. and trivia will begin at 8:00 p.m. We apologize if this change has caused any inconvenience. There will still be food, prizes, a cash bar and most importantly competitive trivia, so come put your brain to the test.

Uniform Standards

During the recent Commanding Officers Inspection of the Squadron it was noticed that some uniform standards are slipping. This includes some simple things like the locations of badges, the knot used for ties and many cadets with dirty grey boots. Below are some guidelines for cadets to properly prepare their uniforms. If cadets have any questions they should see their Flight Commander and Deputy Flight Commander for help.

Upcoming Events

Trivia Night

A reminder to parents and friends of the cadets that 15 Feb 14 at 1900 hrs (7:00 pm) will be our near annual Trivia night. Grab some friends and build a team. A cash bar will be open, so this is not an event for cadets.
