For the cadets that were selected to participate in the upcoming Solo FTX, please see the following pertinent information that is required prior to the FTX:
1) KIT CHECK ON THURSDAY 22 FEBRUARY: Make sure that you have all the required items (reference to the kit list as outlined below) and bring them with you this upcoming Thursday evening for the kit check. Once the items have been checked, items will be loaded so they will be ready to go for Saturday morning.
2) Departure for the site will be on Saturday morning (24 Feb 18). Please be at Mewata No Later Than 0715. If some parts of your kit were noted as missing on the initial kit check day (as listed above), you must bring it then along with your ablutions kit.
3) Arrival from the Solo FTX will be on 25 Feb 18 in the afternoon at 1530Hrs. We encourage parents to pick up their cadets at that time.
4) Please make sure you consult the web site frequently leading up to the activity for updates regarding weather or exceptional circumstances such as having to cancel the activity due to inclement weather changes. (Not expected...but we live in Canada!)
