Class of 2015, We Hardly Knew Ye.

The Class of 2015 – they came, they left

By: WJO

What started as a March ‘In’ through the Memorial Arch back in late Aug, 2011 ended this past Friday, 15 May – when the Class of 2015  Marched ‘Out’. Likely never to do it again ‘solo’ as a Class.

For sure, these same cadets marched ‘in & out’ through the Arch many times over the past four years, but never alone as a Class. Remembrance Day ceremonies, Copper Sundays and other special events, saw them as part of the Cadet Wing which we know includes  – I, II, III & IV years.

The weather for this Commissioning Parade was near perfect. Not too hot, not too cool – slight breeze, a little overcast and no rain in sight.

MORE…

The only thing better than the weather was what happened out on the Parade Square. The music performed by the band was superb; the speeches were something special but most of all, those in scarlets and the UTPNCMs out did themselves. In a word, they were SHARP during the two hour event.

We had a front row seat, from our third floor office, in Panet House, during the rehearsals over the past number of week or so leading up to the big day.  Between the music, the sounds of the drill movements, including the  feu de joie pratises. (My mind always went back to the General Turner story from his time as commandant)

They kept practising and getting better and you could just sense that it would be an impressive parade. As long, as the weather cooperated.  And it did!

Military Wing Drill Sergeant-Major,  MWO Wallace Rideout was posted to RMCC in the summer of 2012. Consequently, this year was his third college commissioning parade. Last year it rained and the parade was moved inside. It wasn’t a pretty sight.

Two years ago, it wasn’t bad; but it was obvious from talking with the former Long Island, Newfoundland native that he wasn’t a happy camper. He even gave yours truly a tongue lashing because our e-Veritas photographers were not properly dressed.

Indeed, the Class of 2015 owe, MWO Rideout, a whole lot for ensuring that their particular parade was SPECIAL.

 

A long and cherished tradition at the college is the particular graduating class choose two individuals that have demonstrated over a prolonged period of time – in most cases – all four years. Our keen e-Veritas volunteer, OCdt Danielle Andela made contact with both recipients for the Class of 2015.

See their reaction below.

We also received feedback from at least one graduate with his testimony. We will print that, next Issue and we invite any other 2015 grad to send us their personal testimony too.

Honourary Graduates: Recognizing Those Who Make a Difference

OCdt 26659 (III) Danielle Andela – E-Veritas Correspondant

Honourary Graduates hold a special place in the hearts of all cadets at RMC, and this year’s hold a special place in the hearts of the Class of 2015. Kenny Greer and Stroyan Monkhouse were this year’s Honourary Graduates and took some time to explain why they feel passionate about the Class of 2015 and how they are connected to the officer cadets of RMC.

Speaking to Kenny Greer, Honourary Graduate of RMC, RMC’s “Ultrafan” before Graduation Parade, he gave a brief overview of the nomination meant so much to him and why he is so connected to the college:

“Well you see them graduating, how they came in and they were so scared. They sure do change over four years. I am not so certain that I have enough of a grasp of the English language to say what an honour it is because I know what it takes for these kids to graduate from RMC and the level of respect I have for them as humans is pretty impressive.

I don’t know what to say, I don’t have the words to put into context what an honour it is. I go to a lot of hockey and soccer games, I’m loud, I pump up our players and I chirp theirs. You’re coming on our ground, you’re playing against my kids.

My first experience with the RMC community was with my wife, Naomi Ballance, the associate registrar. She brought me to a game six years ago for our second date and I was taken by the level of compete that these kids put on. They were outsized, they may have been out skilled but they fought so hard, whistle to whistle and I thought that that was an incredible brand of athletics to see.

Then I went to a few soccer games and saw the same level of compete and the same level of passion and knowing what it takes for these athletes to compete at the CIS level. It’s different, it’s different at a different school. If you go to Carleton you don’t have 7am inspections on game day. You have game day, you get out of classes, here you don’t get that, you’re held more accountable. You’re held accountable for how you act in the community.

To see these kids compete at the CIS level, I just have more respect for them so I’m a little more passionate for them then I would be for the local team. They say “oh you have to cheer for the local team but no, I cheer for the team that plays the way I think the game should be played, and that’s what I see at RMC.

To the Class of 2015:

Don‘t suck and don’t be a stranger.”

***

After the ceremony, after marching through the arch with the Class of 2015 Kenny Greer had another statement to make regarding his Honourary Graduate status:

“It’s surreal, I know the significance of that arch and I know the work that these kids do to graduate from this school. I know that there’s a real possibility that some of them will come back and have to go down the Memorial Highway in a box and I know that, that arch is for them.

It’s unreal and on the cusp of these kids doing something so great with the rest of their lives, it’s an honour, it’s an honour to be a part of it.”

***

Stroyan Monkhouse also took the time to speak about how he is connected to the Class of 2015:

“I was pleasantly surprised and very honoured when I heard about being voted an honorary graduate.

I have been a Nurse Practitioner in CDU3 for the last 4 years- so I have been with this class since the start of FYOP in first year. So I feel a great sense of pride and kinship with this group.

It has been a privilege to watch the graduating class grow and develop – I keep in mind they are going to be the leaders of tomorrow every time I see them.

Looking back, I have learned as much from them as they have from me.

To the Class of 2015:

Find something you are passionate about. One who enjoys their job never works a day in their life.”
