Cadets
 

hey i was just wondering if there are any other cadets (air, sea, army) out there ??:-)

I was an army cadet... Good times. :)

I was an Air Cadet...

I used to do the Navy Cadets :-p

sea cadets, born and raised at the Q...with a pit stop in NS

Ooh I'd disagree...being the only female in a bunch of hormonal teenage guys was definately fun ;-)

I was in the sea cadets when I was 11-12 and then one day I got hit on the head with a snooker ball in the rec room and got taken to the hospital and while I was there I'd left my beret by the snooker table and it was stolen! I never went back after that.
Then joined the Army cadets at 13 until I was nearly 16.
Went on camp a few times and once went skiing too. Great times.

I'm a cadet, but not the the army, navy or air :pinch:

i was an air cadet for 5 years before i came to uni!

I used to be in the Air Cadets, in my youth. Many moons ago. Just call me Corporal!

I was an air cadet. Loved it, but my friend being a ***** pushed me out :(

ok, me, no, never. but i have a funny story...

i was helping a group of younger kids on a hike a few years ago and i was walking at the back with a the 2 weakest girls while the other helper was walking up front and they told me this story. it always makes me giggle...

now at my old school, where all these kids came from, we all have to listen to an assembly in year 9 about air cadets (basicaly recruitment). they'd gone home and given their parents the newsletter containing this information about the assembly and joining instructions etc and both their dads had been really keen that they joined (one of them being an only child and the other an eldest child - kinda keeping some family tradition).

well...the night came and they dutifuly went to training, waved off by proud dads etc. this being the first night, and with the the combination of superiors wanting to assert authority, the amount of exercise for these (not very sporty) girls and them only having gone to please their dads, it wasn't surprising that they weren't keen on returning the next week. however, they had promised their parents.

the next week came by and they were again sent off with their money to training, dragging their feet. they got to the gates ok. then, remembering the pain and effort last time, looked at each other without much enthusiasm and wondered why they were spending the evening doing something their dads wanted to do, not them. they decided to sneak off now whilst they hadn't been seen and use the money meant for training to buy fish and chips instead ;-)

now that makes me giggle in itself to imagine these 2 really not wanting to go, getting there and deciding to occupy themselves with something more enjoyable. but whilst they were buying their fish and chips, the other new cadet wanabes got taken on a run past the chippy, forcing the girls to hide in some bushes in a panic to avoid being seen and made to join in!

hehe, i can just see them jumping into bushes with chips <imagines>. they didn't say how they eplained that one to their proud dads...

was a sea cadet, hated it to be honest.. but then again, i never fit in anywhere!!!

I was a cadet but not sea, air or army. Cadet for 4 years, competiting at National Level, and now a leader at my local division.

I was in the army cadets for 2 years from 15 to 17, I loved it! Went on 2 annual camps and loads of little weekend camps as well.
