Cadet Revitalization Bill 2013

Overview
This bill is intended to revitalize the KGSACU through various manners, specifically relating to the
general participation and moral within the recruits. This Bill will allow the implementation of
changes which hold the main objectives of increasing participation, promoting a positive outlook of
cadets and extending cadets beyond a simple co-cirruclar activity. A key part of this bill is the
introduction of conscription, commissars and cannons, along with various other sections.

Section 1- Introduction of the Knox Cadets Service Act

Section II- Appointment of reviewing Commissars
Section III- Equipping of essential equipment
Section IV- Retribution of rebels
Section V- Extension into schooling
Section VI- Implementation of CAS pride and rivalry

Preamble
The KGSACU and thus the school, would receive positive impacts from the introduction of the Cadet
Revitalization Bill. Currently the numbers in the KGSACU are dwindling, with the number of
continuations falling. There is a recurrent issue of students bludging cadets throughout the year.
Also the Cadet Unit is restricted in its activities through their limited access to certain equipment and
time slots. It is imperative to revitalize Knoxs Cadet Unit and ensure that the Unit continues to be
the best. Through this bill revolutionary changes will be instigated. There will be an introduction of
conscription where every student of Knox, except Yr 9, will be expected to be part of the KGSACU.
This Knox Service Act will cause a huge boost numbers and naturally to maintain quality, reviewing
officers must be appointed. Commissars is another key implementation which deals with the quality
of the unit, ensuring that everyone fulfills their role. Finally every unit deserves proper access to all
required equipment. It is thus essential to introduce cannons, necessary educational tools to teach
students life skills and to ensure the KGSACU has the resources to become superb.

Conclusion
This bill will ensure necessary changes in the Knox Grammar School Army Cadet Unit. This proposal
will ensure that the KGSACU will become the greatest cadet unit in the history of mankind. The
participation of students will skyrocket. The exertion of discipline and respect for rank and the unit
will also increase exponentially. The quality of cadets will be enforced by Commissars while the
numbers will be maintained by the Knox Cadet Service Act. The equipping of equipment will prepare
the KGSACU and the punishment of rebels will iron out any impurities of the unit. By combing the
KGSACU with the entire day of schooling, there will be far greater opportunity to teach and shape
cadets. Finally there will be a broadening of horizons as the KGSACU seeks to expand. This bill will
revitalize the KGSACU, and this is a change that must be instigated.
