The air cadet program uses an impressive number of acronyms. We always make an effort to explain them at least once in the QOVPC documents (yes, I know, the Quebec and Ottawa Valley Provincial Committee…) but there are plenty more on the military side too! And what can you do to follow a conversation in which everyone is speaking in acronyms? So below, in alphabetical order, is a list of all the acronyms we’ve thought of that are commonly used in the program. Let us know if any are missing!
