Level 1 Range Shoot, Squadron Boot Bash, and Commanding Officers Parade

29/4/2022

 
Level 1 Range Shoot, Squadron Boot Bash, and Commanding Officers Parade
 
To celebrate the achievements of our cadets over the past month, 525 Pathfinder will be hosting a Commanding Officers parade on 2 May 2022.
 
Also, in preparation for our Annual Ceremonial Review in June, cadets at 525 will be switching from our Field Training Uniforms to our Ceremonial Blue uniforms. In this week's CO parade, cadets will be dressed in their C1s.
 
To ensure all our cadets have the appropriate uniform pieces and badges correctly maintained, a squadron Boot Bash will be held at the Navy League building this Sunday, May 1st. This Boot Bash is recommended to ensure cadets know how to do their uniforms and ensure any missing kit can be replaced as our supply is now only open on Sundays in the Navy League. The Boot Bash will follow the level 1 range shoot scheduled on the same day.
 
Details below for each event.
