You will now be expected to attend every week an need to tell us if you won't be there, or if you wish to leave.

When we have your joining form / uniform sizing sheet, we will order your uniform. You will also then have the opportunity to buy any kit that you require, such as boots.

You will spend the first year of membership as a Recruit and will be taught a wide range of basic skills from both the Army and RAF syllabi that you will need as a cadet.
