Fully support ACF, CCF and the RN and RAF similar organizations like Scouts and Guides they really teach the young a decent way of life - well done to who ever carried out this documentary

[@kenscrackofdoom599]

I was in the ACF in the 1970s. Bloody loved it, was some of the best times in my life. I still laugh about the nonsense we got up to but it did have a really positive effect on my life.

I was a sergeant in the cadet force loved every bit of it

[@jarraandyftm]

I was a bit early in the army cadets up until 2019 and now I am attempting to trying to pass my army reserves and then hopefully I can pass that in the next generation of the Cadets if I can join as a cadet instructor

Perfect to develop young people today

[@NewMinority]

I advise all employers to hire army cadets

[@AirsoftSouthYorkshire]

I was gonna go on this camp but i missed it as I had a holiday booked that was on the same dates and I recognise half the people on the video and it feels weird watching them. D-coy forever.

[@SCHACCF]

Amazing!

If only the regular recruiting organisation could emulate your standard of messaging, we might finally close the recruiting gap!

[@armyrepelentcz4090]

Perfect 🙂

1:28 What is that rank? It's not a CSM, not an RSM. What the bloody hell is it??

[@bobthebuilder2786]

Thats sergeant major Clarke

[@aghplayz6594]

It stands for "ARMY CADET FORCE"

[@baileygregory9192]

​@ImaSMACKHEAD982 no it doesn't the RSM in the video use to be in the regulars and had operational deployments and whilst not all adult instructors are ex forces many are, some on the other hand don't care about ever joining the army and simply love cadets for what it is some times because they use to be cadets them self's and others may be wishing to join the armed forces in the future but doing cadets whilst they complete a degree they will use in the army

[@leoscragg2480]

As an Army Cadet I suggest you join!!!

[@CanadianBallistics]

I regret not joining earlier but now I'm going to join as a adult volunteer.

[@peterclarke7240]

Great. What's their typing speed? Do they know how to use Excel? Can they answer a phone? Have they got a degree? Because unless their dad is posh and is golfing buddies with the CEO, they don't have any advantage over someone with an actual education and work-related skills.

[@montywicks2794]

Are you still going to be asking that while they're fighting for your country on the front line?

[@baileygregory9192]

​@@montywicks2794they don't fight, their cadets its a youth organisation. Yes a disproportionate amount of cadets want and do go on to fight in the armed forces but most don't.

[@baileygregory9192]

Actually cadets do provide improved employability skills as they work with major employers like the army, Asda and the NHS. Furthermore cadets helps develop skills, offers opitunity to get easy level 2 and level 3 btechs and duke of Edinburgh that both give an advantage when it comes to employment. It also develops soft skills useful for life in general like confidence

[@montywicks2794]

You do realise that just because someone does CCF doesn't mean they haven't gone to school and gotten an education, it's a club not a full time job. Although by the looks of things you might not know what education is 😂😂😂

[@me5969]

That's not really how things work. If they want a job filling in spreadsheets or working in an office cubicle, then yes some IT skills would be useful, although having never personally served in the cadets, I do know it is voluntary. Your question would be like asking if someone who goes to the gym or does boxing or yoga or paintballing or whatever would get them a job. Getting desk qualifications and joining the cadets or any voluntary evening class as it were aren't mutually exclusive. You can and and will do both (they likely will get said qualifications in there as well depending on which cadet they're in) That said someone who volunteers in discipline, time keeping, confidence boosting skills, personal admin, general admin and organisation, following orders, not being consumed by indignation, fitness and motivation and the ability to learn new and varying skills will have a better chance in the real world at getting most jobs. Even if they just have the confidence to present themselves will be more than what most people will have.
