This probably doesnt include you, but most people don't have a clue how the scoring works, and they then don't receieve the level they want. Most people don't get that the lowest common catagory qualified is your level.

[muskrat89]

Certified on the 25pdr Gun Howiter Artillery Field Gun. 

And what kind of certification would that be?

Why would anyone get certified on a gun that has been out of service for so many years?

???

 

[Fishbone Jones]

Probably certified just enough to fire blanks for parades, then clean it. Not really to bring the gun to action and engage. Just my guess.

 

[S.Stewart]

Probably certified just enough to fire blanks for parades, then clean it. Not really to bring the gun to action and engage. Just my guess.

Basicly we use the field gun owned by 10th field bty assoc. which sits in the links and winks/10th field bty armories. Our cadets are taught pretty much the entire proceedure, take it in and out of action, how to lay the gun, make correction, load and unload (yeah we use blanks which are shotgun shells inserted into the bottom where they bore a hole in the casings).

Basicly we set up a gun detachment entirely cadet run, minus the safety coordinator which was when i was out the cadet corps gun detachment for my seven years in cadets it was Dave Hagan. We do not simply fire blanks, we do demos and go through the entire proceedure, granted for demos it is a set up we use roughly the same numbers but of course, the orginal bearing we take off the theordolite (spelling) changes.

We train the cadets on all 6 postions plus GPO (not the whole deal with that, just the basics) so everyone can do everything technically. It's basicly a way of tying us to our history, and get some interaction with those who actually served on that guns, and believe it or not my last year the detachment myself included, could do the whole demo with any numbers with at least 3 corrections, was pretty quick, doing the full procedure with Dave Hagan timing it, we could put a round in the air every minute if we were firing live ammo...Mr. Hagan always figured that wasnt bad for a cadet corps.

So basicly our gun detachment was used for demos for 10th field assoc..any time the battery was doing any type of anything big as far as cermonial, we were there to fire off the gun, we did tons of demos for the public, Canada day, and of course our own annual.

 

[S.Stewart]

And what kind of certification would that be?

Why would anyone get certified on a gun that has been out of service for so many years?

???

Because would you let a bunch of cadets play with a howitzer?...we are a cadet corps not a reserve unit. As far as I know when the whole deal was first set up, the cadet corps had an interesting time getting the army cadet league to actually agree to let us do it, obviously we got what we wanted.

 

[muskrat89]

Right, which is why I questioned the use of the term "certification". To me, a "certification" implies a more..umm.. practical qualification. Regardless, you explained it pretty thoroughly. Sounds like a pretty neat program.

 

[cadet-wright]

My rank: Private (for us it's gunner, artillery corps)
Everything else:
Distinguished marksman and a place on our rifle team
Standard first aid
2nd place Junior medal at local marksmanship competition
And, as S.Stewart mentioned up there, my corps fires the 25 pounder field gun on annual and other stuff...I'm a meber of a detachment for that too. I'm either a number two or four...I love firing off stuff. I'm glad we got what we wanted, that gun is the coolest thing and to operate it is really neat...next saturday is our next practise. YEY!
