Drill
|
The Air Cadets, as a uniformed youth organisation, sets itself and its members very high standards, including dress, deportment and behaviour. Drill (marching) is a vital part of encouraging teamwork. When a group of twenty cadets walk on to a drill square they are all individuals, but as soon as a session of drill begins the cadets become a team following the orders given by one person. Drill is also used to move cadets from one place to another in a smart orderly fashion. Cadets participate in various forms of drill, some of which include:-
Drill & discipline is the responsibility of the AWO or Adult SNCO's on a Squadron. Once a cadet has gained a few years experience and has attained NCO rank, the cadet will pass on his knowledge and experience to other cadets by instructing cadets how to do drill, taking charge of a drill squad or even as a Standard Bearer. |
