JLTC - Junior Leader Training Centre Courses

We have discussed training requirements and ongoing training for some time.   We are now putting into place basic and junior NCO (LCPL and CPL) training that encompasses some basic skills and teaches some new ones.

The training will not be complicated and nothing revolutionary, it's just a refresher on the basics, establishing those basic skills to further solidify our technical and practical skills.

Iceman, although a member for only a short time, is a current infantry soldier (reserve) and he is happy to plan, conduct and administer this training.   Iceman is now appointed as a CPL for this purpose.  Please provide him with every assistance to make this a success.
