[edit] Out of date notice

Chris.120, looking at the history, I assume you marked this article as needing to be updated because of the "joining age" error. I am removing the template; but if you still think it needs updating could you please be more specific about what is incorrect in the article.

[edit] Joining age

I now have confirmation that the enlistment age has been changed to 13. Updating page accordingly. Vyasa 03:06, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Hector will not let staff enroll cadets under the age of 13.--Ryan the leach 05:02, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

There has been a lot of debate about the joining age on this article - some time ago I found it stated 13. This was inconsistant with anything I had ever heard - and CadetNet lists the age as 12.5

The age in question has been changed on this article repeatedly. Could someone please confirm the correct joining age so this can be resolved once and for all?

Although CadetNet lists the age as 12.5, if one should continue the link to the AAFC page, they will find the age listed as 13. However, the Army takes recruits at an age of 12.5, so this may be the case. Lawnmowers Rock! 10:34, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

The official age is 13, however cadets can join during a recruiting drive if they are a few months off, as they can still be considered apart of the 'recruit' rank, an unofficial rank, in which cadets have the option of 'trying' the organisation out before they commit. not all squadrons do this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.110.158.115 (talk) 12:40, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] National Strength

I don't know how to change it but if if I need to, but the National strength numbers in the side box were of April 2005.

[edit] seperate squadron information

Just some ideas: The wings could be linked to articles about each seperate wing. that allows squadrons to post information about seperate squadrons under headings in each wing article. --Iamcon (talk) 10:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
