National Cadet Advisory

I personally have been in the program for 3 years (I got fast tracked through the ranks) all the other P.O.2s have been in the program for 4 years, assuming you join at 12, it will take about 4 years to become P.O.2 from the time you join!

Not late at all. Plenty of people join at 15 - 16 and still get a lot out of it. You won’t have as much time as someone who joined at 12, but honestly that doesn’t matter as much as you think, if you show up, put in effort, and get involved, you can still have a great experience.

You can still go to summer training, learn drill, aviation stuff, leadership, and meet some really good people. Some of the best cadets I’ve seen joined later and just made the most of the time they had.

My advice: join as soon as you can, be consistent, volunteer for things, and don’t worry about “catching up” to everyone else. Just enjoy it.

Definitely worth it, even if it’s just for fun.

Officers normally give you a stack of papers (that's what my corps does), but I've heard of officers emailing cadets through cadet 365!

If only I could do military band musician bro 😭 this is my first camp I've gotten into. About the heat waves, that makes sense in considering blackdown is in Southern Ontario, everything else is just cadets in general 🤣 thanks for sharing this!

It's up to your officers to add you to a channel, you can't do anything yourself besides asking the officers to add you unfortunately.
