Drill is a core part of the teamwork training in the program. Each cadet is taught the basic manoeuvers of drill and has ample opportunity to practice them.

Once the cadet knows the basic maneuvers and the commands for executing the manoeuvers, the cadet is able to perform drill with the rest of his/her group. Drill demonstrates discipline and self control as well as a strong sense of teamwork since it is normally done as a group.

Once drill is well practiced, it is very sharp to watch – if one person is not working as part of the team, that person stands out from quite a distance.

Cadets who have polished their drill and have very well maintained uniforms are invited to participate in the drill team. This team practices advanced drill on a separate night (currently Tuesdays) so that they can do demonstrations for such events as local, regional, or national drill competitions and at the annual parade (at the end of the training year).

A few very select members of the drill team are invited to the color party – those who march on the squadron colors and the Canadian flag. These cadets have taken extreme measures to polish their drill. dress, and deportment.
