Shout “FIRE FIRE FIRE” Close all windows doors closest to you, if safely possible. NCO/officer in charge is the last one out of the room. He/She closes the door, turns off lights and all equipment. Exit the building as quickly possible without running. You will meet at the Form Up Point (FUP) outside. You are responsible for yourself, getting outside to the FUP and listening to any instructions from your supervisor (NCO or Officer). Fundraising One of the first things you would have noticed by enrolling in the Air Cadet program is that unlike just about any other organization or team that you could join, where it could cost anywhere from a small registration fee to several hundreds and in some instances thousands of dollars to take part, where as in Air Cadets there are no fees to join and or are there no annual or weekly dues. Also once you have been fitted and issued with a uniform you will see that there is no charge for this uniform or other items of cadet gear that is issued to you. All that is asked is that you take care of these items and return them when you leave cadets. The only time you will be required to pay money is when we go on trips, have special dinners, where you may be asked to pay a small nominal fee. Also when you attend trips etc with the squadron you should be prepared to bring your own spending money. All this is possible because of our funding formula which is as follows. The Air Cadet Program is funded by the Department of National Defence in partnership it’s civilian arm the Air Cadet League of Canada. Together they are responsible for all uniforms, training and equipment, familiarization flying and gliding. In addition our local civilian sponsor , 416 Wing RCAFA has duties that include accommodations, training aids and equipment and program enhancements not otherwise provided by DND or the Air Cadet League. Parents and cadets are expected to participate in and contribute to fundraising as required by the local sponsoring element. In this regard you as a cadet are required to take part in our fundraising events. In order that we do not have to ask that every other weekend you are out participating in fundraisers such as bake sales, garage sales, car washes etc we ask that you take part in our Tag Days, one in the fall and one in the spring, sell a minimum of one book of OPC Tickets that is issued to you, and get sponsors and take part in our annual Walk-A –Thon. The monies raised from these activities help us provide the extra activities and trips that you will enjoy as a member of 58 Squadron. Each year all Air Cadet Squadron must pay an assessment set fee to the Air Cadet League. Because of ever increasing costs some squadrons are now charging various amounts on a yearly basis to take part in that squadron’s extra activities. Here at 58 Squadron Kingston we have elected not to do so at the present time provided we get full support from the cadets and parents in the above fundraising exercises, and from the parents whom we may call upon from time to time to assist us in driving of cadets etc. Always remember the more support we get from the cadets the more fun activities we can provide.
Over the course of the weekend there are seven (7) four hour shifts for tagging. Each cadet has to do a total of 3 shifts, totaling 12 hrs over the course of the weekend. You may select any shifts you wish. Many cadets elect to do more shifts, and some have even done all 7. At the end of the weekend the money each cadet brought in is totaled and on the following Tuesday parade night they are given back 5 % of what they raised. On top of the 5 %, each cadet who beats the cadet with the highest amount raised on the previous Tag Day gets a bonus of $ 50.00. So that means if you bring in $ 600.00 during your 3 shifts and if it beats the previous high amount you get $ 30.00 for your 5%, a bonus of $ 50.00, for a total of $80.00. Many cadets in the past have earned over a hundred dollars. So the more you tag, the more you not only raise to help your squadron, yourself, and fellow cadets, but in addition you make some quick cash for yourself. OPC Tickets Sales Every year all squadrons in Ontario are required to sell OPC Tickets to assist the Ontario branch of the Air Cadet League with the gliding program, and other important functions. Each cadet in 58 Squadron Kingston is required to sell one (1) book of tickets themselves and some cadets will be asked to volunteer to assist the squadron selling tickets in a mall or like location. Many squadrons in Ontario require cadets to sell 2 or 3 books but at 58 we have elected to keep it to 1. If a cadet wishes to sell more than the required one book that is great. Some cadets sell many more than the requirement which helps the squadron. The tickets are issued to cadets in the early fall and they are given a 3 week period to sell the 1st book. If a cadet does not sell all of their tickets or his/her parents wish to simply donate the cost of the book ($50.00) then that is OK. Walk – A - Thon Each fall the squadron cadets take part in the Squadron’s Walk-a-Thon. Cadets are given a pledge sheet to get sponsors for themselves on the Walk-a-Thon. They may do so from parents, friends, relatives, etc. The money raised is split with 50% going to a worthy local charity and 50% stays with the squadron for training. This is one case where parents, friends, family, may get a pledge sheet and take part as well. Some parents etc do so to help support the squadron. POINTS_SYSTEM'>POINTS SYSTEM As a way of producing espirt-de-corps and some friendly competition between the flights, 58 Squadron has created a points system, where each individual cadet receives points for every activity he/she attends. The points are totaled by flights and the top flight of each month gets recognition on the CO parade the month following, as well as each cadet in the flight gets a small prize, such as free pop and chips at the canteen that night. At the end of the year the Top Flight receives the Award for this achievement as well as each cadet receives and individual prize. The breakdown of the Points System is below; POINTS REASON
ANNUAL AWARDS Each year the squadron presents the following awards to deserving cadets at our Annual Review and our Coin/Awards Dinner. For all awards certain criteria such as attendance, participation in class or team, the ability of a cadet to get along with his or her peers, level of improvement over the training year, etc are taken into account.
