This weekend was fun, interesting and action packed. Some of the courses FRASER cadets participated in were how to tie basic knots and their uses, using a boatswain’s call, range safety and marksmanship technique using the Daisy 853c air rifle.
The weekend wasn’t just about training. The cadets also participated in a heated Pumpkin carving competition! Each team produced an excellent jack o’ lantern, and after much laughter the judges declared the senior cadets victorious.
The cadets also participated in a fierce battle to show they truly know their stuff. SLt Lyford arranged a round robin of seamanship challenges for the cadet teams including an interesting knot tying challenge, seamanship jeopardy, PNE themed marksmanship challenge, phonetic alphabet adventure, and piping challenge. One team (Charlie) reigned supreme, having had top marks in all of the events.
The weekend was a great success and FRASER went home Sunday, exhausted but happy to have spent a busy, fun filled weekend at their Annacis Island home instead of home sipping root beer, watching cartoons or playing on facebook.
