Cadet demotion
A young cadet is made upto L/Cpl after being a cadet for 6 months......4 months in and he's training recruits drill etc etc.
Pulled before his Platoon Commander and given a dressing down, for not saluting a officer. Fails couple of testing boards at 2 star and is striped of his rank.
Whats your views on this situation peeps????

My nephew was bust in cadets. He wasn't taking it seriously - as it sounds your cadet wasn't - so he deserved it. Where is the argument?

Pork pie sounds good.Nato Standard123 likes this.I write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on.

Sounds like the cadet doesn't put out.

He has only been in 4 months and he is teaching?
Talk about the blind leading the blind.
Who did he have to sleep with to get promoted after only 6 months?Nato Standard123 and Blade-Runner like this.If I had known then what I know now, I wouldn't have made the mistake that taught me what I know now, but didn't know then.

Obviously I am only aware of the details quoted above. Originally Posted by 5thRGJ

Just my thoughts - for what they are worth.I'll be glad when I've chopped this bloody carrot!

If he wasn't pulling his weight or gobby or walty and disturbing t'others then fair 'nuff. Otherwise, it's plain bollox... come on it's the ACF, not Woodentop stuff. My opinion is on the side of the kid. Maybe he was going to "out" the officer for being a fiddler? Originally Posted by AFA06 - Si dubitas, fuge.

Any Cadet who has been promoted after only six months is clearly not ready to be a Cadet NCO. Originally Posted by 5thRGJ

This sounds like a case of a young person being promoted much too early and suffering the consequences.
