Naicam Cadets learn how to send messages through Morse Code Some cadets in Naicam have recently learned how to send messages using Morse Code. This year, 2815 RCACC added Morse Code training as an extra communication skill that was fun and challenging for cadets to learn. Cadet Jodayne Bertram said in the release that “using the radios was awesome, while Cadet Robyn Flath added “my favorite part about the communications course was being able to experience and use the real radio. I also enjoyed talking to someone in British Columbia and learning how Ham radios work.” Flath said in a news release that joining Cadets “would be a great opportunity to help me later on in my adult life while also helping me be a better student,” while Bertram joined because the program “teaches you responsibility.” Commanding Officer of 2815 RCACC, Lieutenant Kathleen Keen, said in the release that they have been trying to recruit adult staff. “We are looking for two more staff that are motivated and ready to join our team,” said Keen. Ideal staff are those who “have intentions of staying with the Naicam corps for the long-term” and who are interested in enrolling into the Cadet Organizations Administration and Training Service branch of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) as Cadet Instructor Cadre Officers. Interested adults would assist in supervision, training and administration of the Cadet Program. Keen said they work together well as a team, are motivated, hands-on and communicate often. Cadets are also being recruited, and events this spring include a weekend field training activity, a skiing activity, marksmanship training with the Daisy 853c Air Rifle, and a weekend training activity with the Melville Cadets at Camp Saskadet. Anyone interested in Cadets can come by the Naicam School gym Tuesdays between 7 and 9 pm. “I would tell them it is fun and that it is free. Lots to do!” said Cadet Morrison Obrigewitch. Flath agreed. “I think joining cadets will give you a greater chance of achieving a dream you might have, whether that be your dream job or mastering a dream skill,” added Flath. To accomplish your dreams, Flath indicated that “you have to be ready to put in the work and be committed. The Cadet Program is open to all youth between the ages of 12-18. – Cam.lee@pattisonmedia.com
