Attention all cadets and parents:
At the beginning of every training year, we are required to have you fill out an Annual Validation Form to update your cadet’s information on Fortress. Typically the forms would go home with your cadet on one training night and be returned the next; however, as we are conducting our training online this year that will not be possible.
To facilitate this process with social distancing measures in place, we will be having an in-person registration process this coming Sunday (25 Oct). A schedule has been created with a 10-minute time slot for each cadet/sibling pair. In the interest of privacy, this schedule will not be posted publicly. It has been sent to your cadets via email – please ask them for the information if it has not been shared with you already.
Parents will show up, be given the forms to fill out on the spot and return it immediately. Please do make an effort to be on time, as tardiness will affect those scheduled after you!
With regards to our efforts in limiting the spread of COVID-19, we ask that only one parent per family show up to complete the forms. Cadets, please stay home, unless you are required to assist with translation. Hand sanitizer and gloves will be provided, but we recommend bringing your personal writing utensils for sanitary purposes. Face coverings shall be worn.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Administration Officer, 2Lt Lam at admin@888aircadets.com
Thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to seeing you Sunday!

Good Day 888 Avenger Squadron!
Effective September 01, 2020 you will have a new Commanding Officer taking over 888 Avenger RCACS; please welcome Capt Emily Lee!
As your outgoing Commanding Officer Capt A Lee Glaisher, I would like to thank the staff and cadets of this fine Squadron for sharing the exceptional adventure in the past 3+ years of my CO term.
I leave behind with fond memories. There may or may not be a ceremonial parade…depends on when we can get back to being able to return to “in person” status.
I will still be around to assist wherever the new CO needs me until my future transition to another unit.
Hope you all are safe and healthy and having a great summer.
Yours sincerely and fond regards,
Amelia YCL Glaisher, CD
Captain
Outgoing CO (888)
