ADA Fundamental Aviation Day- March 22
On March 22, the cadets had the opportunity to visit Centenial College and participate in an Area Directed Activity (ADA). The cadets had a chance to learn about the aviation field and different programs that can be taken despite being a pilot! The cadets had a wonderful time and had a day well spent!
CO’S PARADE
The CO’s parade is always a fun way to end of the month! The cadets have an opportunity to showcase their drill and deportment to the CO and these parades are great practice for our Annual Ceremonial Review, which will mark the end of the training year in June! This CO’s parade was also filled with promotions!
