What is the cadet corps? The rationale of the cadet corps is this: it is a military-based organization to promote citizen- ship in Canadian youth; to pro- mote self-discipline; to foster good comradeship and pride in a common purpose and to acquaint the Sea Cadets with the sea ele- ment of the Canadian Forces. Cashmore said she took part in the organization of the corps because she was interested in organizing an activity for kids that had a lot of organization and discipline in it. Cashmore wanted to be part of this group; something other that hockey, she said. She said the sea cadet corps works On a-rank system, similar to the armed forces, where the cadets really have to work to be promoted. Two cadets in the corps, Don Clark and Brian Doig, have writ- ten exams in Thunder Bay and they have become second class petty officers. Three more cadets, Angela Ziegler, Dave Orlesky and Andrew Hunt (from Marathon), will write the same exam in April to become second class petty offi- cers. Don Clark, 17, who will soon write his exam to become a first class petty officer, intends to make the armed forces his caree Cashmore said. : When a cadets join the corps, they are called Ordinary Cadets; then they write tests to be pro- moted to Able Cadet; the next rank is Leading Cadet; next is the petty officer class; then chief petty officer second class and finally chief petty officer first class. Annual inspection The cadets' annual inspection is on Sunday, May 15th, in the Terrace Bay Arena and it is open to the public. Cashmore said this inspection gives the cadets a chance to show the parents what the kids can do. She urges all parents to attend. The cadets will be evaluated by the head office in Winnipeg. There will be displays set up and drill team demonstrations. Parents and interested persons are also encouraged to come by any cadet practice evening held every Monday from 7-9:30 p.m. in the Schreiber Legion. Cashmore would like to men- tion that the cadets are more than grateful to the Schreiber Legion for sponsoring them. The legion acts aS a support group and donates the use of the hall. If you have any questions regarding the corps do not be afraid to contact any of the execu- tive or the cadets.
