ROUTINE ORDERS
General
1. Squadron Routine Orders are issued under the authority of the
Commanding Officer and are effective upon receipt.
2. The purpose of the Routine Orders are to supplement the information that is
readily available online, and passed on through weekly messages regarding
training, weekend activities and general information. It is the responsibility of
every member of the Squadron to read and comply with the Orders.
3. The Routine Orders will be distributed once a month, on the Commanding
Officer’s parade, (first Thursday of the month), or on any other date as
authorized by the Commanding Officer.
Administration
4. A Verification Audit is underway of Cadet administrative files. Cadet
Personal Information Validation forms are in the process of being distributed
which must be reviewed by parents/guardians to ensure our files are both
current and valid. As the new database is integral to the compilation of
forthcoming cadet camp application forms, your earliest compliance would be
greatly appreciated.
5. All cadets shall review and familiarize themselves with the 742 National
Capital Squadron Standing Orders. They will be posted online on the
Squadron's website and there will also be a copy in the Office. Cadets can
request a copy from their immediate superior or Flight Commander if they do
not have access to one. The orders contain all of the information required for
reporting an absence to saluting zones etc.

email, please notify the officer in charge of the planned activity.
