Good Luck!
I was in the cadets back in the ’80s, went on Camp to Binbrook, Coltishall, Gibralter and Bruggen, as well as doing my DofE Bronze and getting to Cadet Flight Sergeant. I also did a Flying Scholarship when I was 17, gaining my PPL before I could drive!
You will find that the activities, achievements and responsibility you get as you progress gives you an advantage over other applicants when you enter the job market, demonstrating that you can take on a complex task and see it through to completion and take responsibility for other’s work stands you in good stead.
I joined the RAF as an Air Loadmaster and got streamed onto Choppers, the first 6 weeks of basic training was easier than cadet summer camp!!!
Was a very naughty boy and got thrown out 18 months later though:(
