CO’s Monthly Message:

Our Mess dinner went off with great success! Thank you so much to all the parents that contributed to our fantastic meal and desert. Congratulations to WO2 Anstey on her promotion and to WO2 Davidson on receiving the bar to the medal for long service as well as to WO1 Rueter for receiving his medal for long service. Well done!

We continue to plan extra training opportunities and are looking for ways to enhance the training experience for all. Coming up at the end of January is Operation Snow Crawl. This is our snowshoeing expedition at Larch Hills. This year we will be renting the gear and lunch will be provided. 

Please remember that most correspondence is done through Cadet 365 and Teams. If you are having trouble with these platforms, please reach out so we can get this resolved.  Thank-you for your patience and your efforts in making this another great training year.
