PARADE REVIEWING OFFICER LIEUTENANT-COMMANDER D.W. ROLFE CD
Lieutenant-Commander Darryl Rolfe was born in Hamilton, Ontario, and
grew up in the small community of Strabane. He enrolled as a Sea Cadet
in 1990 with Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps DUNDAS and attended
summer training centres on both coasts. He completed his service with
DUNDAS as a Chief Petty Officer First Class and the corps’ coxswain.
Lieutenant-Commander Rolfe pursued post-secondary studies at the
University of Waterloo and continued to volunteer with RCSCC
DUNDAS. Lieutenant-Commander Rolfe enrolled in the Cadet Instructor Cadre in 1998. He would
become Executive Officer of DUNDAS before moving on to other pursuits. He would also later
serve as Training Officer at RCSCC STORMONT in Cornwall and CENTURION in Ottawa while
residing in those communities.
He served at Borden Air Cadet Summer Training Centre (BACSTC) from 1994 to 2000 in a
myriad of positions, all in support of the National Athletic Instructor Course. His final years were
as the Training Officer and then Officer Commanding. During the summer of 2001-02, Lieutenant-
Commander Rolfe worked at Regional Cadet Support Unit (RCSU) Central in support of cadet
movements. In the summer of 2003 he was selected to work at HMCS ONTARIO in command
again of the National Athletic Instructor and Physical Education & Recreation Training courses.
The highlight of his summer training experiences came in 2005, at which time he joined the staff
of Whitehorse Cadet Summer Training Centre. Working in the Yukon with cadets from northern
Canada was a truly unique CIC experience.
In 2000 Lieutenant-Commander Rolfe joined the Directing Staff of the Regional Cadet Instructor
School Central. He taught on all rank qualification courses, as well as the Military Occupational
Sea and the Cold Weather Indoctrination Course. He continued to teach with RCIS Central through
2006, routinely as a Course Commander.
In 2006 Lieutenant-Commander Rolfe became the Area Cadet Officer (Sea) at RCSU Central
Detachment Trenton, an appointment he held until his promotion to Lieutenant-Commander and
appointment as Detachment Commander effective 1 April 2009.
Lieutenant-Commander Rolfe enjoys his leisure time at the family cottage on Balsam Lake. He
pursues many outdoor activities, most notably: sailing, skiing, canoeing, camping and SCUBA
diving.
Lieutenant-Commander Rolfe is married to Heather New of Aylmer, Quebec. They reside in
beautiful Prince Edward County with their twin sons, Andrew and Nicholas.

Cadet Warrant Officer 1 (Ret’d) Lokietek
When I was thirteen I joined 172 Clarington Air Cadet Squadron, and I have been with the Squadron for six years now achieving the rank of Warrant Officer First Class and becoming the Squadron Warrant Officer. For me the summer holidays never started until the first day of Summer Camp. The event horizon of my cadet career was when I took the Introduction to Instruction Course. I found that drill and instruction was my passion. Getting back in the next training year I ended up teaching cadets close to my own age on a weekly basis; building confidence and professionalism fast. I was reluctant up until then to join the Drill Team, but once I did I eventually became the team’s right marker and I was also selected to become a Flag Party escort. I feel that in the past two years, as the Squadron’s Training Warrant when I was a WO2 and retiring as WOI, the Squadron as a whole has gone through a positive metamorphosis of greatness. I am very proud to call myself a former 172 Clarington Royal Canadian Air Cadet and I will miss everyone when I am gone. I hope I have had a big impact on the Squadron because the Squadron has had a huge impact on me. Maybe, Officer Cadet Lokietek is in my future!
Deputy Commanding Officer
Captain B. McKee
What a year for 172! The ride from my seat on this rollercoaster has had it's own
thrills and (near) spills. But, as our motto proclaims, "through labour to victory!" We have
each prevailed to stand here today - our 6th Annual Review. When I attended my first parade
with 172 back in September, I was not sure what to expect. Standards are quite different here
in Eastern Ontario than they are in the Toronto Air Group. Never the less, 172 Clarington
outshines even the most reputable cadet squadrons in Ontario. We have really put our name
out there this year with our determination to succeed. Growing to over 100 cadets shows that
you are thoroughly taking interest in our program and that we have truly adopted a routine...of
awesomeness.
I wish our graduating cadets the very best in their post-secondary education and future careers.
Thanks to your commitment to 172 Squadron, the future young leaders in the ranks will
prosper.
Next year is already shaping up to be a tremendous year, topped with plans for a exciting five-
day international tour! This is certainly incentive to see our great base of new recruits return in
September to learn to serve and to advance! Capt Brent McKee, 172 Sqn DCO
COMMANDING OFFICER
172 CLARINGTON SQUADRON
MAJOR J. BELL Today is our Squadron’s 6
th Annual review and we
celebrate our success with a strong foundation that has been laid for future cadets and Officers. The first five years is the breaking point for a unit to test its capacity for success or failure and we have surpassed it with a strong drive. From the early days under the Command of Capt Duthie and his mission to start the unit, Capt Silvey’s mission to keep it going and get it off the ground before her retirement, and my mission to launch 172 into sustainability towards the victory road that lies ahead. It would appear we are moving in that direction. We have been shown that 172 is here to stay as demonstrated through the reflection of all the great comments and observational feedback forwarded to me by our local politicians, community and local businesses, EOA cadet detachment, parents, and the thrill of excitement on the faces of our young cadets. I have no doubt in my mind that 172 is one of the biggest and most successful units in Eastern Ontario Area at this time. This is a direct link to the dedication and hard work of all the cadets and the staff and volunteers both past and present that supervise, lead, inspire and guide our cadets down the path of victory and success.
YEAR END FINAL THOUGHT: Time management is something that is
extremely important in Cadet and Officers life. Staff and cadets must find a way to balance time for school/homework, social events, family, work, and cadet life to be able to reduce the amount of stress in your life and cope with demands of the Squadron through rank, appointment, and expectations. The program continues regardless if you are here or not. Manage your time to be successful in both school/life and the cadet program.
Today, we say goodbye to several of our senior cadets. Tomorrow they will
take the fork in the road and continue their journey into post secondary school education. I wish them the best, and hope they will be able to use the knowledge, skills, and motivation they have learned in the cadet system in their future endeavours. I also want to take this opportunity to say thank you to those behind the scenes, our families. Without your support our success would not be possible. Take this time to say thank you to them and the other families around you. You are all a part of 172 Clarington’s Success.

172 CLARINGTON SPONSOR –
BOWMANVILLE LIONS CLUB COMMITTEE
CHAIR
On behalf of the Lions Club of Bowmanville, may I say
how delighted we are to sponsor the Squadron. As the
year has progressed so too have the number of Cadets
enrolled. I have been very impressed by the calibre of
the Cadets applying for the National Courses and the senior positions
within the Squadron. The Cadets have worked extremely hard this year and
their continued improvement has been noted. They have raised a great deal
of money, which has allowed them to participate in many exercises and
outings beyond the normal training at the local level. The members of the
Lions Club of Bowmanville have appreciated the assistance of the Cadet at
Lion’s activities such as the Duck Derby, road cleanups and Applefest etc.
and were very impressed at the Squadron Mess Dinner in December. The
Squadron has maintained a very active schedule of events within the
community such as Santa Claus parades, barbecues and two tag sessions,
Remembrance Day Parades as well as White Water rafting and weekend
exercises at CFB Borden.
My sincere appreciation goes out to Major Bell and his officers, civilian
instructors and parent volunteers who give so many countless hours of their
time to provide an interesting and active program for the cadet members of
the Squadron. Without their dedicated efforts, the Squadron would not
achieve the continued progress that they have shown and continue to
generate in our community.
The Lions Club of Bowmanville is proud to be the sponsors of this fine
program for youths in the community.

Recruit Training – A New Experience
My first year of cadets was great!
I started cadets after my 12th birthday in September. I couldn’t
wait to start cadets as I have a brother and sister in cadets. I
knew it would be really fun and many opportunities would be
available, but there was way more than I expected. Once I
joined cadets I signed up for drill team, and the rifle team. As I
was part of the rifle team I got my first badge being, marksman
level 1.
I have done two survival weekends, a winter and fall survival.
And I have done poppy selling, and I have been part of two
Remembrance Day parades and the Santa Clause parade
Also we do very fun trips like in May, our Squadron will be
going gliding, and in June we are going white water rafting and
zip lining. This isn’t all the fun events we do throughout the
whole year.
All Cadets have opportunities to attend summer camp to get
various courses, badges. I get the opportunity to attend GT
(general training) this year.
As you can see, there are many opportunities in cadets, and I
look forward to the rest of my cadet career, I recommend that
if you get the chance to join cadets, join Cadets.

172 Clarington Squadron Training Officer – Lt T. Amrstrong
Well as we close out yet another year we take a look back on a
very memorable cadet year that was filled with a lot of new things to the
unit.
We started this training year with a number of new recruits and
their first survival trip to CFB Borden. On this trip the Cadets experienced a wide variety of activities
such as: water collection, different shelters, range and the confidence course, which was a huge hit with
the Cadets.
We had a busy fall with the participation of the Remembrance Day parades in both Orono and
Bowmanville. 172 Clarington also took part in the Santa Claus parades again this year with yet another
creation of our own float. This float was our own version of “The Cadet in the Box” and saw 3 Cadets
take turns of appearing out of the box for the crowds. 172 Clarington participated in both Bowmanville
and Newcastle Santa Claus parades this year.
As always 172 Clarington was heavily involved in the community this training year. In
September we helped out with the setup and provide support for the start/finish line for the Terry Fox
Run. Coming into November the Cadets helped out the Bowmanville Legion with their annual Poppy
Campaign. Cadets also had the opportunity to help our sponsor, The Lion’s Club of Bowmanville with
their annual road side clean up and selling of the tickets for the Duck Derby. A handful of Cadets also
represented 172 Clarington at his Right Honourable John O’Toole New Year’s Levee.
Other activities that 172 Clarington enjoyed this training year were: Gliding, Survival Day at
Camp Samac, Bowling and our own version of a Harry Potter sports night. This night was in the theme
of the popular movie and novels of Harry Potter. The Squadron enjoyed a number of games such as
Stichstock, Horcrux Hunt, and a Quidditch tournament. This night was a ton of fun and a huge
success and I think the start of an annual Sports Night.
The training year for 2011-2012 is already in the works and is shaping up to a very
busy but interesting year. March Break of 2012 will prove to be a great one as the destination
of choice is New York, New York and I’m sure this will be a huge success. The new Level 4
program will roll out this coming fall and will give more and more leadership opportunities for
the Cadets that this applies to.
Summer is right around the corner and this means for most of the cadets of the
Squadron, SUMMER CAMP. Have a great time at these camps whether you are going to
away for 2 weeks or 6 weeks. These camps are great opportunities to make lifelong friends
and to carry on the learning that you have done all year. Best of luck at these camps and enjoy
your summer.
Memories
In Memory of
Captain Steve Canning CD (Ret’d) September 14, 1956 - December 6, 2010
172 Squadron lost a member of its family on 6th
Dec 2010. We will
remember you and the things you have said especially;
“Shaving your face is mandatory out in the field too”
Aviation Humor
* Takeoff's are optional. Landings are mandatory.
* Flying is not dangerous; crashing is dangerous
* There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing:
Unfortunately, no one knows what they are
* That's not flying, that's just falling with style
* I fixed it right the first time, it must have failed for other reasons.
* Try to keep the number of your landings equal to the number of your takeoffs.
* Gravity never loses! The best you can hope for is a draw!
* You know you’re flying a Cessna when you have a bird strike
and it is from behind!
* A Landing is just controlled mid-air collision with a planet.
*Was that a landing or were we shot down?
* Everyone knows a 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. But a 'great landing is one after which you can use
the airplane again.
