Drill is an essential aspect of military training. All of the cadets at 514 Squadron will learn the basics of parade and marching in a flight of their peers.
The Drill Team is an opportunity for cadets to develop their skills on the drill square, mastering their personal drill and more complicated group movements while led by a Team Commander. Each year, in the spring, the team participates in a multi-unit Drill Team competition.
The Drill Team participates in regular practices on Sundays from 2:00-4:00pm.
