Join 37 Orville Hand Squadron Today!

Training will be conducted every Thursday night from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm at Fieldcrest Elementary School from September to June. Each training night will begin with an opening parade, two 30-minute classes, a break, one 30-minute class and a closing parade. Cadets are all divided into five proficiency levels, where cadets will have an opportunity to learn and interact with cadets of a similar age. Cadets are expected to attend all training nights and to be on the parade square formed up on time.

Uniforms are provided free of charge, including exchanges as cadets grow.  Cadets are expected to maintain their uniforms and return them upon leaving the program.  The Supply page will contain information on ordering, exchanging and maintaining uniforms.

There are several opportunities for Summer Training, from the one-to-two weeks Cadet Activity Program and up to six-week flying scholarships and international exchanges.  All Summer training is free of charge, and cadets will have an opportunity to earn a training bonus for select courses.  Detailed course criteria will be posted on the site later in the year.

Once registered with 37 Orville Hand, you will be allowed to parade with us. As your new uniform may take a few weeks, all new recruits are expected to wear a white buttoned dress shirt with a plain black tie, black pants (no jeans or leggings), and black shoes. Shirts are to be worn tucked in, and pant legs free flowing and not tucked into socks. Recruits with long hair should come with their hair tied back.
