NCO RESOURCE MANUAL Et Deinceps Sursum! NCO RESOURCE MANUAL Et Deinceps Sursum! Version 5(P) No 19 (Auckland) Squadron Air Training Corps WEF: September 18 FOREWORD This manual is a creation of past, present, and future members of the Non-commissioned Officer’s Corps of No 19 (Auckland) Squadron Air Training Corps. It has been compiled from various NZCF and NZDF manuals, overseas military sources, and previous Squadron publications, and from the experience of past NCOs. Its purpose is to provide a concise resource of the most commonly required and useful information for NCOs of all levels. Great effort has gone into providing information crucial to the operation of the NCO Corps. However, because of its compact format, it cannot provide all the detail on any subject. Therefore, it must be used in conjunction with other resources when you require more information or precise details. It is also not an alternative to experience. The best ways to improve your skills as an NCO are to watch your superiors in action, practice yourself by attending as many activities and courses as possible, and then to seek feedback on your performance so you can improve. Never forget, if you need help, ask for it. “If you treat a person the way you see them, they’ll stay that way; but if you treat that person the way you want them to be, then chances are they’ll change” – SMA Gene C. McKinney NCO Creed As a Non-Commissioned officer in the New Zealand Cadet Forces I understand and accept that I am responsible for those charged to me. As a Non-Commissioned Officer my duty is to faithfully and diligently carry out any orders or instructions given to me by my superiors, and at all times act in a professional and kind way towards my subordinates. My subordinates will never fear me, nor will I act in a way in which encourages fear. I will be an example that my unit is proud of, and by doing this I will prove I’m worthy of leading others. I understand that the way I carry myself and act will be reflected by that subordinate to me, and that at the minimum I will treat all personnel within the New Zealand Cadet Forces how I would like to be treated. At the maximum, and at my best, I will treat those above and below me in my chain of command they way in which in a way in which, if reflected would better them. At all times my duty is to keep those under my command safe, aptly trained, and happy, in that order. Those Officers and New Zealand Cadet Force staff members which I serve under will come to know me as an effective and useful tool to which they may employ to better the organisation as a whole. I will not do my best, but at all times be my best. In doing so I will successfully execute the role of Non-Commissioned Officer in this New Zealand Cadet Forces.

This ACP is written for the newly appointed Corporal undergoing training to perform that role. The rank of Corporal is a Junior Non Commissioned Officer (JNCO) in the Air Training Corps. The difference between a rank and a classification, such as Leading or Senior Cadet, is that it is awarded through ability and subject to a vacancy existing. Given an academic ability and the appropriate training any cadet within the Corps has the opportunity to reach the classification of Staff Cadet. Not every cadet will be appointed to the rank of Corporal or above. 2. You will have earned the rank of Corporal by demonstrating to your Commanding Officer that you have the ability to perform the tasks required of a JNCO in the ATC and because a vacancy for that rank exists in your unit. What a JNCO does 3. To help you develop your skills and knowledge a job specification for the JNCO is given in ACTO 7, Annex A and is repeated here in Table 1.1.

  • The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century
    “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century by Kevin Woodger A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Kevin Woodger 2020 “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century Kevin Woodger Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto Abstract This dissertation examines the Canadian Cadet Movement and Boy Scouts Association of Canada, seeking to put Canada’s two largest uniformed youth movements for boys into sustained conversation. It does this in order to analyse the ways in which both movements sought to form masculine national and imperial subjects from their adolescent members. Between the end of the First World War and the late 1960s, the Cadets and Scouts shared a number of ideals that formed the basis of their similar, yet distinct, youth training programs. These ideals included loyalty and service, including military service, to the nation and Empire. The men that scouts and cadets were to grow up to become, as far as their adult leaders envisioned, would be disciplined and law-abiding citizens and workers, who would willingly and happily accept their place in Canadian society. However, these adult-led movements were not always successful in their shared mission of turning boys into their ideal-type of men. The active participation and complicity of their teenaged members, as peer leaders, disciplinary subjects, and as recipients of youth training, was central to their success.
