Great job guys you earned every second of this parade i know for one I HAVE TO BE ON THAT PARADE SQUARE EVENTUALLY. I am 13 and working really hard on my physical fitness
aznbro830 I know the requirements like number of push-ups and pull-ups you need, but what sort of exercises and drills so to speak do you do in pre para, I'm going next year and I'd like to know so I can kinda get a head start To get my wings is my #1 dream
@aceflyer89 some cadet corps dont wear berets and wear forged caps and in some when you reach a certain rank they you get a forged cap in my corps you get them when you get your blues (sgt)
I did my para course this summer and i can tell you its the same course as the reg force, all the pi's and jumpmaster can agree on this. We sure dont learn any combat training but if people join the jump company's they will learn it anyway the para course is not based on combat training. Ex coelis!
You can’t be an Air Cadet to attend the Basic Parachutist course, you need to transfer over to Army Cadets and even then you still need to complete and pass the National Star Examination ( or National Star of Excellence, NSE) which by the way, is not available to Air Cadets. Also, there was actually an Air Cadet who earned his Parachutist Wings by transferring to Army Cadets to complete the course although that was quite a long time ago I think.
FYI Army Cadets do the same basic training as the CF for their parawings it's the only course that does that which means yeah you have to be tougher then hell to get into it for one you have to be a senior, Gold Fitness minimum of level 8 shuttle run, 44 pushups, 32 situps, and 185cm in standing long jumps, and to top that off you must have your NSC. they go through a tough process to get there.
@ShadowDeathBl1tz I'm an air cadet as well. I'm pretty sure you can wear the badge on you jumper where your flying/gliding scholarship goes. (provided you haven't achieved them yet) I'm not sure about your squadron though...
So upon returning this video after three years, I've come to realize that they did wings parade at Connaught NACSTC... Why is wings parade at CNACSTC??
Many cadets end up in the reg force, especially getting courses like jump qual. I wore the white leaf, and welcome any cadet who can do the training to wear those wings! And where do you think many of the next wave of dedicated soldiers come from?, many come from the cadet ranks!.
If you see this comment, let me know. I'm a MWO cadet and I'm going for para this summer. Just put my application in for regional expedition, hoping this can help the admission process of some sort for para. Anyway, I hope I get here one day, looks amazing!
hey if you where to get your wings in the actual army it'd take longer so it's a good thing to get your wings at 15 considering you can only join reserves at 16 and CF at 17
@G22RCHA Spot on, I recently enrolled in the CF Primary Reserves, I want to transfer out to the reg force in the future after schooling. I was an army cadet for 3 years and learned and loved it. I left cadets early but not before I hit the rank of CWO! The most difficult thing for cadets to overcome when they join the forces is being back down at the bottom and relearning certain things.
All I got to do is get a gold or excellence fitness badge then I'm basicly a shoe in for Pre-para then I have a friend who took the course but twisted his ankle during a run so he had to leave but I know the requirements so since I'm young I can qualify for the fitness easy enough then when I'm 15 I'll start practice everything needed to pass Pre para then i'll probably be accepted for basic parachutist then it's just three weeks of sweating blood and puking guts then I learn all about jumping
Make sure that you have a high standard of dress, Drill, and deportment, you must be recommended by your corps CO. Also train hard 10 week before the Para section coarse which comes around in March. so ensure you make one of the top 5 out of the 10 to 20 other cadets that will be there to compete against you. Myself I was in 7Th place for Alberta last year and seeing as how I have one more year left I'm gonna go hard next year and make one of the 5. Kind regards MWO Blake.
@ShadowDeathBl1tz , its really hard to get it because of your placement within the cadet program but yes it is possible. ask your CO about it you will have to do it wiht a buch of army guys but oh well
@grandin105 I knew that already what I was saying is after working up through the cadet ranks through the years in the end it doesn't matter what rank you left as you're still going to end up as a Pte-R.
@wwedirector13 that is what all yoour training befored you jump is for they will teach you all you need to know about how to land safely i had a buddy that just took it and he told me you have like 5 jumps thats it and your there for like 6 weeks so imagine the training they put you throught before you even alound to go on the plane
@bennyvongetalife, if youre talking about the cadet that is the fifth man in the second rank then he is a GGFG (Governer generals foot guard) the are from ottawa, they are not highlanders, were they to be highlanders he would have a glen
most army cadets put the commando dip in the berrets lets face it it looks cool couple of my higher ranking cadets in my corp have commando dips i was going to put one on mine but my berets stupid and doesn't want to shape that way.
2 weeks precourse, thats your pt and conditioning for when you go across the road to CFLAWC, all i can say for that is speed and aggression is the key! if you pass the pt test when u get to CFLAWC you will progress to the Canadian forces basic para course which is comprised of two weeks of ground school and 1 week of jumping or J stage. You will do moring pt everyday for precourse and ground school. As well if you fuck up or your groupd is unmotivated at CFLAWC be prepared to be on your face:)
@PlatinumBaller123 1.6km in 7:30min, 75 pushups, 150 situps and 10 pullups overhand grip im pretty sure i havent looked at the standards in a while but its about that to give you an image
wish i could fly up the ranks that fast though i might become a corperal in 7 months but i doubt it i'll probably end up a private instead. my cores very tiny RCACC Service Battalion 3025 Didsbury Alberta
@ScolarxXxVisari Wasn't it scary jumping at first...? I mean how do you prepare yourself to jump from thousands of feet up in the air for the first time in your life...that alone too!
@CDNcoyote i've only heard it played by the Royal Irish Regiment of the British army .. so i cant say sorry man ... am joinin soon so hopefully i'll be able ta let you know :)
@nativedrummer49 Started training ever since after my General Training Camp Course in my first year. I hope Ill be able to make it in and complete and where the wings on my air cadet blues.
@423tk well not really i was talking to an officer with air cadets he said that he was taking a few air cadets for para, well he said taking them to what was the base i think petwawa to jump out of a C-130, the have to have wings to do so?
I've noticed that there's one person in the video who's wearing a Cap and he's marching with the rest of the graduates. Would anyone know why he's wearing one?
I'm sorry, I'm in the RC(Air)C, can someone please tell me why some of the course cadets are wearing a red beret and not the default one? Never seen that before...
@ScolarxXxVisari Woah 50 jumps...beast. And can you tell me how to train for para because I wanna do para for my last year at cadets but I'm not that fit.
Unless ur being sarcastic, what kind of question is "what airborne is this?? what country?" Isnt it pretty clear what country it is on the description?
That's pretty good for the run and the sit ups. However I would highly recommend that you do at least 25 full chin ups. The push ups are not something we do during the para selection coarse. Me myself I ran the mile in 5:23, I did 22 full chin ups, and you have to as many sit ups as you can in 2 mins (I did 62).
From what unit was the cadet with the black and white cap? I thought the highland and regimental dress codes were distinct enough but looks like it goes further.
@plopotop Oh okay! that sounds pretty cool! I'm planning on visiting a near by corp (It's corps correct? I'm used to saying squadron lol) and see what they actually do. From what you're telling me, it sounds pretty cool (not that I'm planning on transfering =P )
@ScolarxXxVisari k thx ill start off dome this and then some if there are any tips like im only a LCpl with cadets but im wondering if there are any great tips for para training you could add ? if so it would be amazing to have thx again LCpl Keating
@plopotop Hey! I'm an Air Cadet (5th year). So, god too many questions to ask lol but umm, are you guys the same as the army cadets (same drill, drill commands etc...) and what do you guys learn? For example, the Air Cadets you learn about Survival, Flying Schol. etc etc, what do you guys do?
The lone contoured wings are for CAF members, and the plain yellow coloured wings are for the cadets. The yellow ones are issued if you're a cadet however many decide to order the CAF wings anyway and keep the other ones as a keepsake. If you join the CAF afterwards with wings from the cadet program, you'll be issued the CAF version
the requirements for the para course are: 1 CL Course, 1CLI Course and physical fitness. Are there anything else? I just finished my Basic CL Course a few days ago and I wish to take on the challenge for the para course in two years so I was wondering if there is anything else I need as a prerequisite for this course. Thanks!
Based on fitness capabilities only, (I got everything else covered) is a mile run in 3:45, 200 sit-ups, 50 push-ups, and 10 chin-ups (dead hang) any good for selection into parachutist? Also if you don't mind, can you include the results of your PT test that was conducted to select cadets for the course? Thanks (good luck next year btw)
going to hand in my application in a week from tomorrow, any tips on training myself mentally and physically. I really want this course and in wanting it this bad ive been training 2 years but still don't think it's enough. any idea's on helping improve workouts. current states are; 70 push-ups 120 sit-ups 1km in 5min 9 pull-ups. any advice would be appreciated.
Great job guys you earned every second of this parade i know for one I HAVE TO BE ON THAT PARADE SQUARE EVENTUALLY. I am 13 and working really hard on my physical fitness
You make it bro?
Tell us man
Lots of push ups sit ups crunches And carrying heavy loads, overcoming phobia of heights, steady thought, ignoring distarctions etc.

im private/lance corpral/gunner saikaley from 2483 ppcl and im working towards this course it is an extremely hard course witch spans over 6 weeks
@u452u Uh....no. It's up to $90/day as far as I know for WO1 or C/Wing Commander. And $70 for Sergeants.
Glory awaits those young men at their home corps's.
the whole course is in trenton, everything, the PT, the jumps, the classroom, its all in trenton

@TashaRules
Cadets are below real privates. You don't go back down to the bottom. The highest "rank" cadet goes up to reg force recruit.

Para is done at CFB Trenton.
So does that mean that THOSE cadets w the red beret don't exist anymore or is it still in use today by the army cadet (RCAC)?
