answer any questions they or their parent(s)/guardian may have. 3. A staff member will direct and introduce the prospective recruit to his assigned flight (if applicable). 4. The prospective recruit may only participate in Regular Training. He shall not participate in Optional

Training or Special Activities until he has returned all of the documentation completed and processed by the squadron and RCSU(A) as applicable. This is necessary since a Cadet is not covered by the Air Cadet League insurance until all forms have been returned and processed,

5. The recruit is to be told about the Sqn Standing Orders and of their responsibility to become familiar

with it as it contains information about how the Sqn is run, what the Cadet may expect and what the Sqn expects from the Cadet.

6. It is to be explained to the recruit that until they are issued a uniform, they should wear civilian dress

that is neat and appropriate. The dress may include running shoes or jeans only if they are the only items available and they are neat and clean. The Cadet should not buy special clothing to wear on parade until he has received his uniform, but that shirt and tie for men and similar level of neatness for women, is encouraged. The procedure to issue a uniform to a new Cadet will normally commence once all paperwork has been returned.

7. The AdminO should explain to the cadet if the surname on the application forms does not match the

surname on the Proof of Age form, the name appearing on the Proof of Age will be used until it is legally changed.

8. Explain that officer, staff and senior cadets are to be addressed by rank or Sir/Ma’am (as appropriate)

if no rank or rank is unknown or forgotten. 9. Explain that forms handed out must be legible and completed in blue ink. Forms filled with a pencil or

black ink are not acceptable. 602 – Attendance and Leave 1. Attendance awards

605 - FALLING OUT WHILE ON PARADE 1. Any person who feels ill while on Parade shall indicate so by kneeling on one knee and appropriate

606 - PROCEDURE FOR THE CANCELLATION OF WEEKLY TRAINING 1. In the event of inclement weather causing public school cancellations, cadet training will automatically

be cancelled. Notice of the cancellation will be transmitted via the chain of command, and on the Squadron Facebook group and page. Other methods may be used to supplement the notice as well.

2. In the event of inclement weather happening after school has been dismissed; the same procedure

will apply as in 606(1). The Sqn will not train in conditions that are un-safe to travel, and will always err on the side of caution.

3. In the event of unexpected inclement weather during a cadet function, every effort will be made to

contact parents/guardians and arrange transport home for cadets ASAP to avoid worsening conditions.

700 – SUPPLY 701 – Hours of Operation 1. Supply hours will be updated and posted on an on-going basis, as staff are available, and as a need

arises. Cadets are asked to contact their Chain of Command to arrange an appointment for Supply when hours are not posted.

2. Cadets are expected to fill out a uniform request form and hand it into their Flight Commander, to

ensure proper bookings of appointments by the supply staff. The supply request form can be found in the annexes of this document, or by requesting one form your Chain of Command.

3. New Recruits will report to Supply by appointment only, after speaking to the SupplyO. 702 – Proper Care and Use of Uniform 1. The standard of personal dress appearance and grooming shall be such as to reflect credit on the

individual, the Sqn, the Air Cadet League of Canada and the Canadian Armed Forces. The dress regulations are not intended to be overly restrictive. Their intent is to ensure the maintenance of a high standard of grooming while also recognizing the standards of society. The regulations set out in this order are reasonable, ensuring a favourable military image and at the same time permit some individuality. Dress regulations are found in detail in CATO 55-04.

their uniform at an activity or special event outside a cadet activity may be authorized only by the CO. 703 – Damage or Loss of Cadet Uniform or Pieces Thereof or Issued Stores 1. Every Cadet is issued a uniform as soon as possible after the receipt of the enrolment paperwork by

the AdminO. The uniform is ‘loaned’ to the cadet at no cost, but in the event that all, or a piece of the uniform is lost, it will be necessary to hold the cadet responsible for the loss through disciplinary measures. Therefore, it is very important that the cadet take great care in keeping track of their uniform pieces so as not to lose any.

2. Any cadet wilfully defacing, mutilating, damaging, giving away or neglecting any part of their issued

uniform or equipment will be disciplined. 3. Any equipment or items issued to a cadet shall be signed out on the proper forms, and any cadet who

wilfully damages, gives away or by neglect loses any stores issued to him or her will be disciplined. 3. Any cadet who has lost or had stolen any item(s) issued to him or her shall at the earliest time

possible file with the Supply Officer a Lost or Stolen report, detailing the circumstances of such loss or theft on the proper form.

4. All cadets shall mark all items of their personal uniform with their initials and unit number (875) immediately upon receipt of the item. This should be done in a non-visible location such as the Logistik tag found on all items. Care must be taken to not obstruct the size listed on the tag as this makes re-issuing of items difficult.

703 – Uniform Return Policy 1. Clothing that has become too small or is beyond repair, may be exchanged at the Supply Section.

Cadets will arrange for exchange through their Flight Commander at no cost to the cadet.

2. Cadets must immediately report any ill-fitting, or worn items to ensure efficient replacement. Normally items must be ordered which can take between 3-4 weeks. Early reporting of needed items will help to expedite the replacement process.


800 – Other Orders 801 – Range Standing Orders 1. The Range Safety Officer shall issue Range Standing Orders on an annual basis, and shall submit

them to the CO in September for approval.
