Cadet Experience

As an Air Cadet, you have many opportunities to do amazing things you would've never thought of before. You can have unique experiences and make so many friends. But you might wonder how to make the most of your Air Cadet experience.

To enjoy your time as a Cadet, you need to put yourself out there. You need to make friends. You need to sign up for activities. But the thing that brings me joy in this organisation isn't what I've done, it's who I've done it with. It's the people around me that make this experience so special.

When I first started Cadets I didn't enjoy it much. I wanted to quit. But then after a while I started to make new friends, I started doing amazing things like Bronze DofE and going to Belgium with so many Cadets. And when I look back at these moments I realise how special they are. I realised that there are a lot of things that I haven't done yet. I realised that the organisation had so much more to offer.

So sign up for activities, get involved, and make friends. But most importantly, just try to enjoy your time as a Cadet, don't dread it like I did.
