Army Cadet Basic Parachute Course

[@StormyNormy]

I got accepted this year!!! I’m so excited and nervous haha Update: I passed and got my wings!!! Glad to be apart of the airborne family!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@zacharycollins4958]

PM me? I did the course last year and I'm planning on being at the grad parade this year.

[@nikolevanduyn9462]

How did you get physically ready for it. I am hoping to do it in 3 years.

[@StormyNormy]

Nikole Van Duyn Just work out a lot. The better your fitness, the easier the course will be. -Work on your chin ups (do at least 7. More the better for pre para) -mile run (try to run it under 6:20) -practice your push ups (sets of 25 because you’ll be doing a lot of sets of 25 at the course 😂😂😂

DId that course in Edmonton in 1979 (7909) Best time of my life! 6 jumps from a C-130. Airborne all the way!

[@canadianhienz57]

What a wonderful video. Earned my wings over 30 years ago and proudly wore the maroon beret in two operational theatres. The pride shown in the faces of the graduates and instructors was fiercely real and well-earned. Well done. Ex Ceolis. Airborne.

[@antoneremich3500]

I led the detachments from the 12th Special Forces Gp that flew NOE in 2 US SOF CM-130s up to Edmonton CFB in 1976 to participate in a joint training operation with the Canadian Airborne Regiment (part of which was to become qualified in Canadian airborne operations / and the Canadians in ours). At the end of the operation, we were awarded our Canadian Parachute Badges and the Canadians were awarded ours in a shared ceremony on the parade ground. I can assure you that every American proudly wears those Canadian jump wings with fond memories of the time we served side-by-side with the "Gallant Men of the Great White North."

[@ant-1382]

The cadet training is awesome! Even if you don't go on to a career in the military. Confidents, discipline, respect, and the value of team work! Huge!!

[@legionroyalcanadiennejolie8334]

I live in England, my late father served in first battalion the British parachute regiment from 1958 to late 1969 he passed out as top recruit in 1958 at the age of 28 and a half years old , British para training back then was brutally tough

I was on this course in 1977 (Serial 7711) at CABC Edmonton: 3 weeks pre-para PT (& this afternoon 6 months of my own personal PT - I practically had muscles on my breath!) followed by 1 week at the Mountain Outward Bound school, and then Jump School. best summer of my life.

The beauty of getting these wings as an army cadet is if you join the Canadian Armed Forces, you are permitted to wear these on your reg force uniform since you are recognized as being basic jump wing qualified :)

there are a number of parachuting and gliding courses within the air cadets if you are interested. theyll give you your gliding wings and a parachuting badge.

Hell the Canadian Cadets get 2 do same training as regulars that complete that course for there 'Jump Wings'!! I was a British Army Cadet & did some pretty lit stuff with them.... but the Canadians doing jump school is SICK!!!! But hey well done!!

[@simonsignolet5632]

What's all that face and neck wiping about at 2:12 mins? Our (Brit) drills remain the same as our predecessors' during WWII so it's a new one on me. Don't you have leg straps on your containers (2:56 mins, Outdoor Exit Trainer)? They prevent the container swinging up and injuring chest/face. Neat that you jump with snow shoes - don't have much call for that over here...

[@Samoie]

2:12 checking the helmet straps arent twisted 2:56 container wont go that high cause there is the reserve parachute that is blocking

Good luck to all of them. Because it's a huge responsibilty being a Maroon, Machine. I trained with Paras. And i worked for H.M. Regimental Veterans in the U.K. And being part of them, brought good & challenging things. Sadly, some x military r jealous. And bug you. I was verbally attacked by a seniile old man. Who claimed to be x REME. but he was jealous as fxxxx. Sad.

[@tintinwu4627]

do you need to understand the structure of the parachute? Or is there a lot about Cardio and fitness assessments? What sport do you guys do?

[@mrblue2052]

Both I think

[@tintinwu4627]

when you are jumping somewhere, it is a mission, it is not done, not over but why?

[@michaelkennedy5584]

The mission starts once you land...to achieve a military objective such as capturing a bridge crossing.

[@tintinwu4627]

do they just stick the wing on the tunic? And why they Give you a punch?

[@ceefahie]

tintin wu they punch the spike on the pin into your skin, that’s why it’s called a blood wing

Outstanding!I wish we had this in the US as Army JROTC (Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps) cadets.I wish i had gone through Jump School first as a cadet so by the time i had finished Basic Training and Infantry School at Ft.Benning Georgia they would have already assigned me to my Airborne unit in the Army.I guess many American parents would object to what your Army Cadet Program sending their kids through Jump School.Fricken sad on America's part in my opinion...

[@reeseprice82]

I know this is a six month old thread, but the U.S.Army ROTC cadets do go to Military schools(Combat Dive, Jump, Pathfinder) usually between years 3&4(sometimes 2 depending on the school CSM). JROTC would be highschool kids in America, and I pretty sure the Canadian Cadets are college level Cadets.

[@kunfang5604]

No, cadets here in Canada begin in the first year of middle school. If you are talking about officer cadets in the Canadian Armed Forces then they can start when they're 16.

Great effort. The only problem I have with this is that the cadets are NOT AIRBORNE and neither are the CIC/COATS adults staff. "Airborne" is reserved for soldiers and these people are NOT soldiers. The comment that the there is "a mission" still to complete after landing is not true. They should NOT be wearing AIRBORNE tee-shirts.

To do the Cadet Para course you have to be 16 years old the same age requirement for rthe reserves

[@David_Rafuse]

In Canada you can join the Primary Reserve at 16 and the Regular Force at 17, but in both cases if under 18, you need written permission of a parent or legal guardian. If under 18, you also cannot be operationally deployed outside Canada.

[@Adam-eu8hm]

Pre-para? hahahah, must be a fucking joke if cadets can pass it

[@tylerlm774]

Fucking Goof LOL

[@David_Rafuse]

Amazing how there are actual serving soldiers in the Canadian Army, both Regular and Reserve, just dying to get a Jump course, and they give it to teen-aged cadets. Not cool. And for those 16-year olds who got the course, well I guess you may technically be entitled to wear the maroon Airborne t-shirt, but maybe, just maybe it should stay neatly folded in your dresser until you've actually become a soldier and served in an operational Parachute Company.

[@robearney5372]

I did my Jump Course as a Canadian Army Cadet , then multiple tours in the Australian Army. If you're saying those t-shirts should only be for Operational Airborne Units. Does that mean those units actually jumped in Combat? I'm curious when the last Canadian Infantry unit jumped into action? So maybe, just maybe most of us need to put our t-shirt on the shelf.
