Little bit of self promotion, Remembrance Sunday last year, my incredibly premature lad was being blue lighted 3 counties away for surgery to save his life.
I managed to start volunteering again two months ago. Much against my better judgement I’m sure.
Today, we went to the squadrons parade, with him looking cute as a button.
One shy cadet on camp really struggling… until codebreaking exercise. RAF staff VERY interested - “who are they? They’re REALLY good”. Who knows what will follow from that!
One of the veterans came up to me after the parade yesterday and commented on how smart we looked and how much better our drill was than the Army Cadets. I usually make a point of not commenting when we’re compared with the other cadet forces, but it did make me smile given most of our cadets only joined within the past 6 months or so and I could count on one hand the number of quality drill nights some of them had before the parade.
