Air Cadet Service Medals Eligibility for the Medal and Bars are based on the Cadet’s calendar years of service. Cadets are eligible for the medal upon the completion of four calendar years of continuous honourable service with no serious in- fractions. A bar and rosette is issued for each year of training completed beyond the four year Air Cadet Service Medal qualifying period. The medal will be recommended for issue by the Commanding Officer and endorsed by the SSC Chairperson. Medals should be presented ’on parade’ by a member of the Air Cadet League of Canada. Your PDO can arrange a presenter, although your Squadron Director or SSC Chairperson are definitely qualified to present! Use the OPC Order form! (Not the National form named ACC56). When applicable, the SSCs are invoiced for the cost of shipping only. Validated alumni will be invoiced $30.00 for each medal requested.
