Classroom lessons lead lo hands- -on cling

The Review

You can teach a cadet everything
he or she needs to know about life
at sea, but it doesn’t really sink in
until the cadet gets out on the
water.

Two, and sometimes three times
a year cadets with the Sidney-
based Admiral Budge Sea Cadet
Core get a solid dose of hands-on
experience.

On Sept. 14, a group of them left
Esquimalt aboard a Canadian
Forces YAG vessel, a training ship
where they literally learned the
TOpes.

“This is hands-on practical
experience for the stuff they leam
back in the classroom,” Lieut. (N)
Alan Hoban, the commanding
officer, said during exercises off
Sidney’s waterfront.

“Tt makes what they learn have
a little more sense to them,” he
said. “It’s a chance to be on board
a small vessel and have some input
in the operation of it.”

The 14 cadets spent the night at
Saltspring Island before returning
Sunday.

They carried out a number of
drills, and learned to live with
each other in the cramped con-
fines of the YAG.

For Derek Viggers, a 14-year-
old who has been in cadets for a
year, the trip helps prepare him for
what he hopes is a career in the
Navy or with Military Police.

Cecile Decurnex, 14, of Sidney,
Says “it’s something to do and get
involved in. There’s lots of activ-

ity.

“Tm going to be a cop. 'm
doing this for training.”

She said she hopes life with the
cadet core will teach her to be
more wits and tolerant of

drill.

Cadets between the ages of 12
and 19 are put through drills, like a
man overboard routine, when on
the 23-metre ship.

Other drills are steering gear
breakdown, fire drill, accident
simulation, manning life raft sta-
tions in case they have to abandon
ship, plus the odd bomb scare drill.
They also learn navigation and
control of the helm.
