some kickass documents

[jehgunnz]

A quick search on google has led me to conclude that Cadet Comand regularly publishes documents only intended for ROTC cadre online.

Here's some cool stuff, especially for those interested in CTLT and CPDT programs. You know they offer SCUBA to cadets!? Three cadets in my grade are going for it.

Reserve Officers' Training Corps Cadet Professional Development Training (CC Pam 145-9)

(10) Assign cadets equally among available regiments for NALC. For example, battalions sending 1 to 14 cadets will assign no more than 1 cadet per regiment. Battalions sending 14-28 cadets will assign 2 cadets per regiment, etc. This distribution does not pertain to cadets with CTLT follow-on training. Once a regiment reaches its maximum size, the CCIMS Training Module will not allow any more cadets into that regiment.

d. CDQC. This course trains cadets as combat divers, to include open-circuit and closed circuit combat divers. The CDQC course is four weeks and four days in length and is conducted at Key West, FL. Cadets who want to participate in the CDQC must successfully complete an on-campus pre-scuba training course prior to being selected for the Pre-Scuba Course that is an additional three-weeks in length. Completion of the on-campus and Pre-Scuba Course does not guarantee a slot for the CDQC at Key West, FL, as only 10 allocations per year are available. See Appendix D and the USACC web site for program prerequisites, application procedures, packing lists and deadlines.

:shock:
I wants me a dive bubble...
But something tells me a little post like SHU Rotc isn't gonna get a slot

[Sammy Sandbag]

Actually, of all the cadets I knew that had bubbles, all were from small schools. I graduated from a fairly large battalion, and we never got a scuba slot.

[Holt]

Aww, don't get my hopes up now, sammy

[cornbread]

the training is pretty rigorous, the guys who train up for it here are usually pulled from the water passed out from exaustion while they train up, but i guess it works cause they have a pretty good success rate at the school.

[Holt]

Yeah, that's the way we trained for my swim team back home, It was crazy, we actually had people climb out of the pool, passout, get woken up, then dive back in. Good times... I'm really gonna havta start training, cause i think i could do that.

[Holt]

Just talked to my moderator today, he's a Cpt and he said he'd make some calls to find out about this school... I'm psyched.
