Its main focuses are citizenship, leadership, physical fitness, general aviation and stimulating an interest in the activities of the Canadian Forces. The majority of cadet training takes place at the local squadron during the regular school year with a percentage of cadets selected for summer training courses at various cadet summer training centres located across Canada. Central to the air cadet program are the gliding and flying scholarships offered to air cadets who qualify. One in five private pilots in Canada is an ex-air cadet and 67% of commercial and airline pilots began as air cadets. There are about 450 squadrons located across the country with an approximate enrolment of 24,500 Air Cadets.

My squadron was 211 Ottawa Kiwanis.
pretty cool, i guess
Sounds like fun
I was in Army JROTC for 2 years, Retired a Master Sergeant and a Platoon Leader. Junior Reserve Officer Training Corp. Basically what you've got there. We have Airforce, Marine and Navy ROTC's too. [editline]01:20PM[/editline] Also the British and Australian's have their own Cadet Corps both Junior and otherwise like Canada and the US does.
I already made a thread on the ATC, which I bet is better than RCAC. You guys don't know how to salute.
When I see things like this and JROTC, I can't help be reminded of the Hitler Youth.
ive got a bunch of friends that were in this.

[img]http://www.midwaysailor.com/military/salute.jpg[/img] That's how we salute in the Air cadets and I don't really see hoe the ATC is better or worse than the RCAC. I don't really want a flame war to start in this thread.
I was in the army cadets =D Most fun 3 years ever.

[QUOTE=Hamburglar18;16121912]When I see things like this and JROTC, I can't help be reminded of the Hitler Youth.[/QUOTE] I don't follow.
I'm in the AAFC (Australian Air Force Cadets) and i think it's the best thing i've done with my life.

In the ATC, we salute with our palms flat and facing forwards, with the middle finger about an inch from the eye.
[QUOTE=Hamburglar18;16121923]When I see things like this and JROTC, I can't help but be reminded of the Hitler Youth.[/QUOTE] Comparing the air cadets to the Hitler Youth is fucking stupid. Please stop, you are making us all look bad. For one thing, the kids were required to attend by law.
[QUOTE=mattfinch;16128569]Then you're saluting wrong. Navyboy.

The Navy salutes with the back of their hand facing out The Air Force salutes with their palm facing out; I was about to say "about 2.5cm from the eye" but you already said that.
