"I remember that. 1993, Wessex crashed into a lake and 3 cadets killed. Sad day indeed.." Yes my friend Chris was sadly killed in it. One of my sisters was meant to go on it but went shopping instead | |||

"I went and it turned out one of our instructors was a nonce. He was shagging the 13 year old girls. He got 17 years last year for it. I then spent 15 years in the military and the cadets are nothing but a hinderance. " Cadets are a good taster if you want to be in the forces in later life. | |||

"It’s just grown ups bullying kids. Shouting and making them do drill. I can see it being important in times gone by. But it’s a relic nowadays. " That wasn't my experience. The officers who ran my CCF RAF Section were also our schoolteachers. Drill is an important part of instilling self discipline and team building. I gained an enormous amount of benefits. Overseas travel, camping and the outdoors. My first introductions to shooting and flying. A gliding course, RAF Flying Scholarship (basically a free Private Pilot's Licence). Things that I never would have otherwise been able to do as a teenager. I was always going to join the military and when I eventually did, that's where I found the real bullying and racism, unfortunately! | |||

"I loved army cadets and was all set to join the army when I left school, until it was pointed out I’d likely end up sat behind a desk or driving people about. That is not what I wanted, cadets gave me an unrealistic view that all roles were available to us, as in cadets you weren’t treated any different than the lads " Would of loved you turning nuts in my fitter section | |||

"I was an Air Cadet and it helped me gain sixth form scholarship which was around 2k if I remember correctly and a university scholarship. I think it is probably more useful if you are aiming for Officer selection than any other route But if you have no intent on joining the military then it’s an awesome social club where you get to fly, paraglide go on adventure courses and for me loose my virginity " Less said the better | |||
