The four years that I was in Army Cadets was very meaningful to me. I had so many unique experiences that I would not have otherwise had. Some of the most memorable include going on a backcountry hiking and mountaineering expedition to Cathedral Provincial Park, participating in competitions with my local corps marksmanship team, and learning full-bore marksmanship and subsequently going to England with the National Rifle Team…

I have a long list of accomplishments, and an even longer list of connections and lifelong friends I made along the way. I could write a book on how to tie knots, navigate in the woods, make a half shelter, polish boots, and perform drill.
