ALL Returning cadets and parent/guardian will be required down on the evening of Wed 4 Sept to complete returning documentation. This will be short, and you can depart as soon as you have been to all the stations and returned the required completed paperwork.

Squadron Return paperwork ( See Below)

SSC documentation

Uniform exchanges.
C365 support if required

Cadets will come down in civvies.

One complete the stations – parents and cadets can depart.

Doors will open at 1830h.

We’ll complete by 2000h.

Return Documentation:

Cadets will recieve from the Sqn Staff:
CODE OF CONDUCT – the program has instituted a new code of conduct for all Air, Army and Sea cadets. ( those whom attended Summer Training are already familiar with it) This must be completed and handed in on 4th.

VALIDATION FORM – this form contains the cadets core information, like address. Parents will confrim this is correct, or write in any changes. It also contains questions for cadets health ( has it changed) , dietary prefernces, and more. This must be completed and handed in on 4th.

MEDICAL LIMITATION Report – this form ( printed for those cadets with medical limitations from our HQ) will be stapled to the validation form, and shows the conditions the cadet has. Now conditions include things like ” cadet must bring prescription medication” or ” cannot sleep on top bunk’ or ” must keep epipen on person at all times”. These limitations are a direct reference to the information given previously on the Detailed Health Questionaire ( DHQ) previously e-mailed in. Nothing need be done with this form – however IF these limitations are no longer valid ( say the cadet no longer takes that prescription) – we can get you the DHQ to be completed to update the HQ team.

CADET INFORMATION CARD – This is essentially a print out of the cadets electronic record to date, showing promotions, level completion, awards, courses, qualifications, etc. For cadets whom have incomplete items from last year – we have highlighted those PO’s they need to address. Nothing needs to be done unless the cadet has a concern with some form of the record. Note – the VALIDATION Form would cover things like address changes and the like.
