Hello, I am Chief Petty Officer First Class Monica McGarr, and I'm the corp's Coxswain 08-09. I'm here to tell you the basics about us.

First off, NLCC Achilles is a Navy League Cadet Corp (the NLCC part) from Guelph, Ontario. People from ages 9-13 come to "The Ship" (75 Cardigan St.) on Fridays to learn the basic stuff, such as parts of the ship, the signal flags, Naval history, etc in their theoretical classes. The other class on Fridays is drill, were the cadets learn Attention, Stand at Ease, and other related stuff.

The cadets learn more as they progress through the year. Twice a year we have promotional exams that include all the stuff you've learned in your rank (We'll go back to ranks in a minute). If you pass, you get promoted to the next rank!

There are eight cadet ranks. The classes tend to get somewhat more difficult when they go up. They are:

  • New Entry
  • Ordinary Cadet
  • Able Cadet
  • Leading Cadet
  • Petty Officer 2nd Class
  • Petty Officer 1st Class
  • Chief Petty Officer 2nd Class
  • Chief Petty Officer 1st Class
But cadets isn't all work and no play! Most cadets favourite thing is competitions!

Every year, we meet other corps (usually 3) to compete in the stuff we have learned. If your team wins, you face other winners at Provincial Competitions!

And, we have onboard weekends/canoe camps, where you get to have fun all weekend.

Um...I think that's it for now!
