Summer Training Briefing 2018 287 Beaumont Spitfire RCACS Capt Budge

CTC

We’re covering the following: Summer camp package Movement orders Joining instructions Leave passes/special visits Graduation parades Picking Cadets up from camp Living conditions Training and trips Behavior

Summer Camp Package is comprised of: Letter of Participation Movement Orders How to get to and from camp Joining Instructions What to bring to camp What to expect at camp

Movement Order: What is it? Tells us how cadets are going to get to and from camp. Consists of date, times, and meeting places. Often travel date is the day before and the day after the end of camp. (Sunday travel to summer training, Saturday come home) May be an additional day if Cadets are going to other regions CTC’s

How to read movement orders Each cadet going to a camp is give an itinerary from Fortress. (our database) Each travel segment is described, starting and ending at the cadets residence. Read each segment from left to right, then move down to the next segment. Be at the airport minimum 2 hours early. NOT TOO EARLY! Make time for traffic. Time on movement order is 2 hours before departure – no earlier, no later!

Travel Itinerary

Special Travel/Visits Parents and families may visit cadets at some three or six week camps. Visitor must be identified on Fortress or staff will not allow the visit. A letter from the parent on Fortress authorizing the visitor will be accepted Leave will only be granted when training allows. Keep in mind, time off is critical for the cadets to create new social circles, make new friends, network, and make lasting memories and bonds. When you take them on leave, you take them away from that. Parents may pick up children from camp, at the end of camp. Parents must complete the parental pick-up (PPU) form in advance. PPU form must be signed by the same person who is the official person listed on Fortress Forms available on website and in JI’s

Traveling Notes Take note of baggage restrictions. Respect the increased security regulations. all cadets traveling on any Movement order shall be in possession of one piece of government issued photo id (http://www.servicealberta.gov.ab.ca/1048.cfm) Cadets are to travel in uniform (shirt, tie, tunic).

Common Meeting Points Jefferson Armory at 11630 109 Street, Edmonton AB T6J 3E6, Canada YEG – Edmonton International Airport

Movements Staff Movements staff will be in charge at each location and will be in uniform. Movements staff can be Air, Army or Navy officers.

Things to Remember: Be on time! Display expected behavior while traveling. Look for the other people in blue uniforms. Chances are there will be lots of them. If you are unable to complete your movement orders, please let Capt. Bodnaruk know ASAP. There may be 200 + cadets leaving at the same time your are and only 2 movements officers. Do not make stupid comments in the airport or to the security personnel. When asked questions at the check in counter, give brief, honest answers. Carpool

Joining Instructions Tells us what we need to know about the camp. Describes the rules and regulations of the summer training center. Gives contact information and emergency numbers. Contains forms that must be filled out and taken to camp with the cadet.

Joining Instructions Each camp has separate joining instructions. They are available on-line on our website. Albert Head and Central region have VERY DETAILED joining instructions.

First Timers – What to expect Accommodations is barrack style – bunk beds and lockers. Blankets, sheets and pillows are provided. Bring your own lock (combination, not key) Washrooms/Showers may not be in your room. Bring suitable clothing for trips to and from bathrooms including shoes/shower sandals. Bring a small bag for your toiletries. (Double bag in luggage) Do not bring sleeping bags or your own bedding.

Graduation Parades Each course will hold a graduation parade. Parents and guests are invited to attend. Please refer to the joining instructions for times and dates.

Picking your Cadet after the Graduation Parade Fill out a Parental Pick Up form with the other forms and give to your cadet to take with them if you are picking them from the camp. if you are picking them up – You MUST have ID on you The time it takes from Graduation parade, to fully exhaust a cadet is Roughly 2-3 hours. Please be patient and understand the process although lengthy, is there for the safety and security of all cadets.

Daily Routine Cadets are organized into flights for all training. Days are organized and free time is limited – generally after supper. Cadet canteen is available during the evenings. Snacks and other items are available for purchase. STAFF CADETS CANNOT DRIVE!!

Packing for Camp Plan for 1.5 Weeks in between Laundry Follow the kit list in the JI’s Do NOT pack things it says not to A Kit inspection will occur at the start and at the end of camp. Please send your cadets with CLEAN Clothes, not dirty. Sports gear is the responsibility of the cadet to bring (shorts and shoes)

Clothing Cadets must take required clothing to camp. If you are missing a piece of uniform, please let Capt Aidla or Capt. Bodnaruk know right away. 2-3 week camps: limited opportunity to wear civilian clothing. NO SKIMPY BATHING SUITS!! ALBERT HEAD – take away most civies Senior camp – more opportunity to wear them. APPROPRIATE

Messing Food is served cafeteria style. Special Diet: Bring required documents* Talk to camp staff Speak up!

Medical Infirmary Room (MIR) The MIR is available to all cadets during sick parade hours. Please note: The MIR is like a doctor’s office. Treat it like a clinic, not an excuse to get out of training. If cadets are in MIR instead of training, they can miss and/or fail training. It is possible to fail the course and possibly be sent home due to too much training being missed. If a cadet is sent to the hospital (more often for x-rays or other non critical use of equipment) parents are notified. Once when it happens*, and then once again with details from a medical professional. Please be patient and wait for the reports by the Doctors, cadets will often over-embellish their condition or self-diagnose, unnecessarily panicking parents.

Prescription Eyewear Bring a spare set of glasses (and a spare set of contacts if you have them). Bring a copy of your prescription.

Medication MIR and Flight Commanders will dispense most medication. Bring enough prescription medication for the duration of camp (preferred in bubble packed for easier dispensing). Don’t bring non-prescription medication. All Medications are treated with the highest level of security regardless of type. Blister Packs

Laundry Laundry Facilities are provided. Know how to use the machines and Familiarize yourself with the basic principles before going to camp. LABEL ALL OF YOUR CLOTHES! Even civilian clothing, especially uniform parts (boots too). Bring the soap pods it will make life easier. Some CTC’s do laundry for the cadets overnight due to limited facilities. Refer to joining instructions. Learn how to do laundry if you don’t know how!! Depends on camp – see joining instructions Alberthead – NO LAUNDRY SOAP. Other camps – bring laundry soap. Tabs, or small boxes work best IRON – No irons, no ironing boards.

Spiritual Welfare Please refer to joining instructions in regards to “church parade”. Arrangements can be made in special circumstances. Most camps have one or more Padre’s, members who’s purpose is to serve the spiritual needs of the cadets, Regardless of faith.

Outside Contact Phoning Home It’s easier for cadets to phone home than for parents to phone the cadets. Arrange for a good time once you know your daily schedule. Cell phone areas/times are designated. Pay phones are available for cadets who do not have a cell phone. Get a calling card or a pre-paid phone card. Try to limit phoning home. Cell phone details on next page. Mail Parents, family, friends may send mail. Keep in mind food is not allowed in barracks. And we do feed your cadets. Care packages that dwarf the candy section of a supermarket is unnecessary. Do not use their cadet rank when addressing mail. Care packages – will be opened by staff. Cannot send contraband. Food will be taken away. Mail system is slow – two week camps may not get mail if it is sent too late. Label with COURSE (if known) or STAFF

Cell Phones Are not allowed on the Cadets person during training hours. Most CTC’s expect cadets to leave them in their Rooms locked up during Training as it a distraction. Cadets are not allowed to use their cell phones in the barracks due to privacy as they are shared accommodations. Designated Cell phone areas are established. Try to avoid texting your child on a daily basis. If they are on their phone, they are not fully participating in the course they are on. Although we cannot fully demand they Un-plug, you as the parents have a lot of impact on that. Ask that your cadets touch base with you once a week, NOT once a day. No news is good news.

Homesickness For first time cadets (or even experienced cadets) homesickness may set in. Padres and staff are available for homesick cadets. Staff will work with parents to easily resolve the situation. Please remember TOUGH LOVE. Phoning home often makes homesickness worse. Don’t make things worse! It’s hard at first, but be strong and the cadet will too.

CTC Chain Of Command Cadets will be placed in a Flight with roughly 20-30 other Cadets. Training and supervising these cadets, as well as resolving any other issues consists of 4 Staff Cadets, and 1 Adult Flight Commander. Cadets are asked to use their chain of command if there are any issues. Multiple Flights will form a Squadron, run by a Squadron Commander, normally a Lieutenant or Captain, seasoned and experienced at a CTC. Most Low level Parental Contact will be with this individual.

Chain of Command Cont’d Officer Commanding Training Group Major/Lieutenant Commander In Charge of Multiple Squadrons Major Issues; Discipline, RTU’s, Medical Issues Senior Nursing Officer Sensitive Medical Issues Padres/Councillors Mental Health Issues

Returns to Unit Cadets may be returned to unit (RTU) for a number of reasons: Medical Discipline (may affect further camp offerings) Compassionate Please be aware that if your cadet must be RTU’d for a disciplinary reason, you may be held responsible for the cost.

Smoking No smoking at Summer Training Centres Refer to joining instructions for policies from other summer training centres.

Money Don’t bring a lot of cash – only what you need. A cadet banking system will be in place, you can deposit it at the beginning of the course Budget: Flight photo: $5 - $10 Camp T-Shirt or Sweatshirt: $15 - $50 Candy/Pop/Misc at the canteen Haircut: $10 -$15 Try not to bring your bank card with you. Bank account – ALBERT HEAD Problem with cadets loosing money in the past – bring your own lock!!

Training Bonus Cadets will receive a training bonus of $60 a week. Please refer to joining instructions for how this money is paid out. Think of this money as the Cadets “Allowance” for the summer. Pay for Staff Cadets is a wage based on their rank at camp, by day.

New Allergy Policies and Forms The CCO has added additional forms for cadets who suffer Anaphylaxis attacks due to allergies.
