Cadets is an amazing experience. You learn alot about Survival, Map and Compass, Leadership, Fundraising, Marksmanship, and fitness. Through my 7 years as a cadet I learned many things, met great people, and achieved alot. I got top mark in Alberta for classroom instruction with a 92% also second top for Drill instruction with an 86%. I have traveled around Canada for Summer camps to learn more about leadership and how to conduct a team. I have been involved in many community service events. I am now a cadet Volunteer and i help instruct and help coach the Senior cadets to become good leaders by showing them how to solve a problem and how to teach so the younger cadets understand but also have fun.

We got to learn a lot about Life and outdoor skills.  We got to travel Around Canada, and meet new people daily. learn Valuable skills recreational skills. They teach and keep you in shape and healthy. They give you great opportunities to Shoot rifles, Help out in Charities, sports and other exciting activities. You get to learn how to teach a class, and to become a responsible strong person. Cadets shows you how to dress formal, and give a close experience to Real Army Cadets who train and prepare for parades and ceremonial awards

my typical day at work includes my self and other staff members going over schedule for the day. while we are doing this the cadets are being taken to there respectable locations. then which the staff and i supervise the cadets activity and help out if necessary. through out this experience i have learnt time management, how to be a leader and team work. the hardest part of my job consisted of keeping the cadets in order and preventing problems between staff and cadets. what i enjoyed the most about my job was that we were always well organized and always got the job done on time.

Over seeing new recruits and ensuring that they are learning in the best possible ways and environments. I learned great leadership skills that allow me to lead confidently. The officers and my co-workers are comfortable and straight forwards and make sure we all work as a team. The hardest part is not being nervous and being confident when leading. The most enjoyable is being part of a team and passing on knowledge from experience to those looking up to your position.

A typical day in cadets is hectic as when you arrive you have less then 30 minuets to read over a lesson that you are teaching to younger children later that night. i have learned many things at Cadets such as first aid training, shooting discipline and military knowledge. But i have also learned things about myself such as what people i can and cannot work with and also what knowledge i do know.

Very rewarding however there are lots of expectations, even if you are a volunteer. There is a hard balance of social life and work life because higher positions expect so much out of you with very little pay.

One of the greatest experiences in my life, learned how to work in a team and as a team leader, how to take care of a group of kids as in supervision, making sure they are safe as they do their training. The hardest part of the job was adapting to all the things expected of me. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to practice and improve my second language (French) gradually.

Army Cadets is really good for teenagers to learn to become responsible and learn new skills and how to survive if your alone in nature(covers cold weather and warmer weather). after army cadets if you wish to join the military you would have a better experience because you would no more than others who want to join
