Good Evening,
We are in the final stretch of this training year and cadets are finishing up their respective levels.
Summer camp offers had been provided to most, but more may come to those still waiting, as the different Cadets Training Centers (CTC) organize their intake occupancy among different courses. If your son/daughter had accepted an offer but become unavailable during the time of their course, it is important to advise us at your earliest. Also, transportation to/from CTC are arrange (and pay for) by the our regional office, if you wish to drop-off / pick-up your son/daughter from the CTC, you must fill out the necessary documents in advance. Finally, visits (on weekends only) during their course period is welcome, however, advance planning and advisory is appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to speak with the officers.
