New recruits begin their training with Drill and General Cadet Knowledge, giving them a knowledge of the origin of the cadet movement and its development; an understanding of the rank structure; and an appreciation for the care of uniform. Cadets then move on to subjects such as
Citizenship, Physical Fitness, Leadership, Aircraft Identification, Aeronautical Facilities, Airframes, Aircrew Survival, and Range/Shooting.
