I was only 14 on Sail TGII . I definately don't regret going. It was quite a bit of fun especially during the BLACKOUT2003. At HMCS Ontario we had a dance that night it was great because it was so dark and PO's were dancing with course cdts. (At Ontario it's a CHAP issue for Course cdts. to dance with Staff cdts.)

[katielloyd]

I was 13 when it started and 13 when it ended, but then I was 14 a week later :p

[toad]

staff cadets go to their dances just to supervise and do rounds. we have our own dances :)
At Connaught staff cadets aren't even supposed to be in the cadet canteen during the dances unless they're on duty and looking for a certain cdt. There are a few officers supervising and they rotate every so often.

I just turned 14 when I went to CL band in Blackdown

Yea, but it sucks for that one year where a lot of your staff is either your age or a year older, and you know them from previous courses/years.... (and in wont comment on CHAP and how i dont agree with the ways in which a lot of it is used {personally i dont believe in CHAP... i believe in the law...})

[263sailor]

i was 14 on tg2 sail and i turned 15 a month after. i wouldn't technically have been able to pass tg3 sail anywhere but Quadra...so i'm doin silver!

[stokette_158]

Lets see.....that was in 2002, which was my very first time at camp.....I guess I was 16. Last summer i took an 8 week course and was 17, and this yr I'm 18, so ya.....I was 16. (I joined when I was 14 and a half) People from my town should have advertised more....I didn't even know that there was such a thing as cadets till I was almost 14.

[Heywood]

The year I went on rgs I was the oldest cadet there, be it staff or course. Despite the age differences the seperation has to be there. CHAP was brought in because the system wasn't working, people were' tip toeing along the law and parents were getting worried. The system itself isn't a bad thing as long as its used as its meant as a harassment and abuse prevention program, not as a verb.

[TiffanyAbbott]

I was 14 when I did my first 6 week course. I'll be 18 in 12 days
yeah i was 14 when i did my tg2 course although if i had of stayed with sail i would have been 13

Well...I am going to be 14 yrs at the 6 week course (AIC) and I'll be 14 when I complete it :D (November b-day) lol. It may seem that I'm "too young" but I started cadets right when i was 11yrs old..so I've gotten alot out of it, it sucks for me though because I have to wait EXTRA long to go on staff :( (BUMMER!!) o well..more camps haha lol...jokes

[Psycho_Duckie]

[Pyro]

I was all of 14 years old when I went on Survival Instructor's Course! :D It was funny, because a friend of mine, Shane Kavanaugh, who was also 14, was being called "Junior" because everyone thought he was the youngest; little did they know, I was about 6 months younger! ;) :D

[KarlSchultz]

I was 14 when I did 6 week band in Penhold '99

[LDoubleU]

I was 16 when I did Music TG2 at Acadia, and it was also my first year at camp.

[flt_jr_ptkickz]

I was 14 when I did Athletic Instructor, 15 when I did Senior Leaders, and 16 on staff. I don't look at it like "whoa, your so young". But more as me taking full advantage of my "cadet career" right from the beginning. Not saying that everyone else didn't of course.

[Riddoch]

I was 15

[pat16]

This thread sucks lol. I have never been to a 6 week course :( One 2 weeks ( Basic and 2 at 3 weeks( ILC and ITIC) :(

[NatoBro]

[SBruce]

I was 12 when I went to band at Acadia and 12 when I ended camp, then I did band when I was 13, 14, 15, and 16 and I will be 17 when I do staff at Acadia this summer..

[Mich_Hill]

I'll be 15 when I go this summer.

[*KeLLoway.K*]

I was 15 when I went on SIC but when I finished it I was 16!!!

[Halee]

I did my first six-week course (in Ontario, at Blackdown), when I was fifteen. And I also finished when I was fifteen. You're a WO2 at fifteen? Whoa!! I was a newly-promoted FSgt. Now I'm almost eighteen and still a FSgt.. Funny how every squadron's different.

[The Hunter]

Last year was the first year that i did a 6 week camp. I was 17 and a FSgt/WO2. This year i'm not even doing a long staff course. I am doing a 3 week staff position :) But now I'm 18 and a WO1.:woot:

[dan_the_man]

Daniel was 16 when he left for SLC in 2006. When he returned, he was 17.

How is this possible?

[ALI~2853]

I was 14 when I went to camp for my first 6 week course and 14 when I left.

[mr_sun]

i was 13 when i took SI, which was my first camp i went 2

[Flying Spirit]

ALMOST went to 1-5 band in Acadia when I was 12, but I pulled out because we were going to move across the country that summer.

My first 6 week course ended up being SIC when I was 14.

[Shaw cable]

my first 6 week course was SIC and i was 16 last summer

[marc.sigouin]

I was 18 and aging out on my first (and only) 6 weeks course.

Practical Leadership

HMCS Acadia

Wey back in 1994

[the_sailing_gunner]

my first 6-week course was AI this past summer and i was and still are 16
AI FOREVER

[M. Arnott]

My first 6 week course was when I was 16(this summer). It was SLC.

[Vicki]

I was 14 when I did my first 6 week course...the summer before I started high school...which makes me feel REALLY old

[Legionnaire]

I was 15 when I went away on my first 6 week course (which was TGII Gunnery at HMCS Acadia), and left it having turned 16 halfway through the summer.

[Bow3n]

I was 15 when i did my first 6 week course, 15 when i returned, and still am 15 :D

[M.Barry]

I retired, then went to camp for staff, though I'm still 18 and not 19 till october. The reason I've aged out early is because I'm moving away for school and there's no point in me randomly moving to a different cadet corps for 2 months and then retiring

[Singh]

I was 15 when i did SLC, and turned 16 during the course right a few days before the course ended (Aug 12th)

[Goulet]

I was 17 on SLC this summer.

[Bos'n Gurl]
