5/2/2012

 
This week we will be saying goodbye to one of our fellow cadets... 
Warrant Officer 1st Class Adam Kurkoski will be retiring from the cadet program as he officially ages out this weekend. Kurkoski served with 608 RCACS for just over 7 years. However, Kurkoski will not be quitting his cadet career, He will continue to support our squadron by keeping the website up to date and hopefully return as a Civilian Volunteer and continue on from there.
  • "I loved every last minute of it! I wish I could do it all over again. I plan on staying with  the cadet program throughout my life; it's a great experience for everyone, no matter how old you are. I think everyone should be a part of the cadet program in some way" - WO1 Adam Kurkoski 
This week will also be Regular Training.

Permission Forms for the Joint Winter FTX MUST be returned THIS WEDNESDAY!!!
