I've been in air cadets for 3 years and even though it has tremendously boosted my confidence I still get anxiety (I cry at shooting and swimming and other high pressure events) but I still try and attempt all events with cadets but I must say I respect any cadet who has competed at drill comp because it looks absolutely terrifying. I mentioned the anxiety thing because I'm terrified of drill comp because of the pressure enough that I am scared to attend. This year hopefully I will attend and 2460 will finally get to the top 5 once again. 😊 Well done to this squadron, this was so satisfying to hear as an air cadet. Brilliant!

Hayley, I joined the Junior Leaders Regiment Royal Artillery way back in 1967 as a fresh faced boy of 15 'n a half! Our drill Sgt in Recruits Battery was Sgt Ken Wilkinson. Learning drill was murder, the timing, the dressing, the pain from all the foot stamping etc etc. I remember him telling us on one drill session, "When you learn to do drill properly, you'll start to enjoy it because you will know how good you look!" Practice makes perfect!
