Tri-Service Winter FTX "Exercise Icicle 17"
18:00 Feb 3 to 15:00 Feb5
We are taking part in a Tri Service Winter FTX with 2587 Army Cadets and 33 Sea Cadet at the Harvey Training Area at CFB Kingston. If you are interested in Attending email LT Parkinson at the Sqn Email() Depending on how many cadets we are able to take there my be a lottery for the cadets that can attend. Kit list and permission forms should be ready next Tuesday.
If you wish to attended the Tri Service Winter FTX you MUST email the Sqn at by midnight Monday Jan 23 to be eligible to attend. This activity is open to all levels.
OPERATION SNOW DRAGON
The original idea for Operation Snow Dragon was to create a fun atmosphere where the cadets would be broken into small teams and a staff member would take part with each team. I was going to hand out the following pages showing the teams and some of the rules as well as inform the cadets of the task for the 1st part of the afternoon. Unfortunately that did not happen so the team make ups are below. The task that was going to be announced is that each team will have 45 minutes to create a sculptor or figure out of snow and items from home. That would have given the teams 2 weeks to get together and discuss what they were going to create. That is now impossible so I will be at the wing both this Saturday and Sunday from 0900 – 1030 hrs for any teams that want to get together.
