What is a Warning Order? Warning Orders and Joining Instructions are accessed thought Cadet 365. All cadets are required to use Cadet365 for all Cadet and Officer communication.
Warning Order: A warning order is “a preliminary notice of an order or action which is to follow.” Warning orders are planning directives that describe the situation, allocate resources, and provide initial planning guidance and initiate mission planning.
- Officer in Charge – Cadet in Charge
- Start time – End time
- What to bring – What NOT to bring
- Where to go
- What cadet will learn
- What is expected of the cadet
- Who to contact in an emergency
- If applicable, maps, or any other info necessary for the cadet to have regarding the activity.
Joining Instructions: Joining Instructions are the official documents sent after a cadet is approved to attend an activity that is outside the squadron and sponsored by DND Cadets and Junior Canadian Rangers (CJCR) such as Cadet Summer Training, cadet courses, or competitions.
They include the same key details as a Warning Order, like:
- Location and dates
- Travel and reporting times
- Dress and equipment required
- Conduct and expectations
What makes Joining Instructions different is that they also include a consent form:
- Parents/guardians sign to give permission for the cadet to attend
- Cadets sign to confirm they understand and agree to follow the instructions
All WARNING ORDERS and JOINING INSTRUCTIONS are access through Cadet365 – 205air.com/cadet365.
