RAF Cranwell annual camp so far. When we first arrived here at the station in Lincolnshire, it was fairy daunting to think that this would be home for the whole week, being one of just two cadets from my squadron, I felt fairly nervous. After the first night, we already started to talk to and get to know other cadets. The best parts of the camp so far for me have got to be the visit to 45 (R) Squadron (who fly the King Air) and DRILL. Today (Wednesday), we have just found out that our final parade of the entire camp is going to host the commandant Air Cadets, Air Commodore Barbara Cooper which has made us all feel extremely excited and nervous as this is an absolutely huge honour which is a once in a lifetime opportunity in the ATC!! The camp has also had activities such as weapons training, swimming, football and hockey which have all been challenging but more so, fun! We are due to have a tour of the Cadet Hall Officers Mess which is also a huge honour as it play a part in every commissioned officers training in the RAF! Obviously being a cadet camp, there is a huge level of discipline instilled in all cadets, this is done in the form of always marching around the base, uniform inspections and room inspections whereby everything has to be PERFECT in order to win top marks for your flight! The camp Warrant Officer, WO Roswell has planned and is currently implementing and teaching a hugely complex and awesome final parade in order to give the best impression to the Commandant Air Cadets, we are representing Surrey Wing after all!! Basically this camp is one of the most prestigious and best camps available for any Air Cadet in the corps and I would strongly suggest that if you are a cadet, when next years annual camps come around, you get yourself on it!!
