From this week, the time before our parade night (5pm – 6pm) that is usually PT team, will be used for Air Skills Training.

Air Skills is the Regional and National ATC competition and there are limited places on each team. These trainings help us to choose our team members. Trainings can involve runs, fitness tests, sports games, teamwork activities, general service knowledge, first aid, and more.

Come to the block at 5pm in PT gear with a drink bottle, towel, and your ironed uniform.

Everyone is welcome to attend, and it is highly recommended that you attend if you wish to be considered for skills team selection.

If you have any questions see F/S Howie or speak to the training office.

The previous post incorrectly stated that there is PT this Thursday. This should have been the 25th of July, the first week of term 3.

Apologies for any confusion.

There will be PT next Thursday (25th July) so remember to bring along your PT gear and arrive in CWDs!

As our annual uniform stocktake is fast approaching we are asking if you or anyone you know who has recently left the unit to return any outstanding uniform that is still in their possession. This can be returned at the usual parade times (1800hrs – 2100hrs) on a Thursday night. For any further questions or if you cannot make these timings you can alternatively contact me at joshua.taylor@cadetforces.org.nz.

Reminder: Its the first week of the month so all cadets to be in 3B uniform this week.
