Message: [QUOTE="TABBER, post: 1725, member: 2026"] I, like many of you, am ex cdt. It varieys all over the UK. When I was in the ACF I visted a lot of units. There are two kinds Old school and New school. Old school tends to be a large group of lads, usually run by a battle hardened ex reg of xx years. All the lads want to be in the army, all of them know why they are there. To pick up some experience of how the army works and what ever skills they can. Often they are more professional (keeping fit, knowledge of subject, etc) than a lot of TA units out there and most OTC (Drinking club) units. As far as whether the skills learn't in cadets are relevent, most say no. I say diffinatly yes if your from an old school unit. They must be as if you get to a certain level I belive in the TA you bypass the recruit course. Trouble is the new school units, with substandards the same 'certificate' levels of ability vary considerably within the ACF. We all no what I mean by new school so I won't press that any further. I will say that they are in the wrong 'youth movement' if thats what you want to call it. Note: I thort trotsky in particular had it spot on concerning SOME AI's [/QUOTE]
