Army & Sea Cadets smashing it again (& occasionally the Scouts)


Im glad our higher level of assurance means we don’t use such dangerous people as gliding clubs. . . /S

The hilarious thing about this is they will be using the same runway as our VGS, literally next door to them.

You should just start posting these screenshots into the VoV thread on ACTO35. With no commentary.

Think it’s worth the effort of me re-joining as a CI just to do this? I mean I’m out anyway, what are they going to do? Kick me out?

As an outsider you’d be better off writing to national news bodies and seeing if they’ll take it

But would any of them care enough to do anything?

Gaz the journo would. He loves poking fun at the RAFAC.

I’m told Deborah Haynes has beef with the stupidity of the system too…

It’s been done. Well done to the Fg Off for having the balls to ask the question and embarrass the SLT.
He makes a very good point. What do you say to cadets and parents who see the SM posts and ask, “Why don’t air cadets do that?”

Yeah the last one was Army cadets parachuting at APA Netheravon and the reply was:

'there is no spare capacity within the 23/24 trg programme . . . I have asked the team to look at making tandem jumps available for RAFAC in the 24/25 trg programme. . . .

There will be no appetite for parachuting in non Jt Services centres due to a lack of assurance. I will keep you updated through the normal channels

So [edit] that was just over a year ago, May 2023 [/edit], anyone been kept updated via normal channels?

Yes. Expectations have been managed brilliantly and within normal parameters (ie deafening silence).

Anybody else have that mushroom feeling??

More aviation from a non aviation themed cadet force…

There’s some fire cadets who would like to have a word about activities….

To be fair though, can the ACF/SCC get this kind of publicity?

We don’t talk about this one…

He was a very naughty boy
