1574 Squadron Air Training Corps

[wel3hstanton]

join the air cadets

[TheAshtonnie]

I am a Cadet in 2519 sqd The best Thing i like in cadets is aerobatics. with Flt Lt Kay x

[treborc100]

I joined that lot 1574 Pembroke Dock Squadron in 1963 with captain Hewitt, and flight officer Smyth Smith really.

we fly from RAF Shawbury, but we used the local Army barrack at the Docks for fire practise.

We also use to work at the Old Sunderland which was at the docks. My mates Barry Saunders and David Stevens.

[MsDrums123]

Do you have to be enrolled with ur 3822 to do gliding and shooting, and do you need to be 1st class or above, i want to do it but i think you have to be at least be 1st class. also do u have to do training before you acc go in the plane??

[theycallmejamesy]

@MsDrums123 for gliding you just need to have done part of your first class. for shooting you just need a WHT (Weapons handling test) which should be conducted on squadron. and all the training you need for flying will be done in the plane, you will just have a quick brief beforehand :)

[TheRealMacoy10]

im kinda nervous to go by myself, dunno why so im gonna try and convince one of my freinds to go with me.

Dose anyone know a good place in Sheffield??

[MsDrums123]

@TheRealMacoy10 its best to join urself coz u get noticed quickly and people end up never turning up so your on ur own, best to make new friends there :)

[allibowthepilot]

i loved my sqrn before they started to hate me i was in cadets for 3 years got to the highest classification and done everythng became captian in compitions and after all that i dotn get promoted My sqrn sucks! iam gone now to a different sqrn!

[TciRoYaLzProduction1]

I am a new cadet in 1574 Pembroke Borough!

Its a great vid and I cant wait to get started!

[ACJP89]

Hey from 1110 Ashington Sqn ATC :) We get to fly at RAF Topcliff and Leeming (Glidng and powered respectively) and we have our own .22 range on our Sqn. I'm currently transferring my L98A1 qualification to the A2. I'm also in charge of radio training at my Sqn and I look after a lot of the probationers. I'm only 15 and I've been in for 2 years XD

[p1tB1k3b0y]

2:05 OMG you have freddie mercury as a pilot!!

[sockless67]

Greetings from 7 Squadron (City Of Hamilton) Air Training Corps in New Zealand! Man you guys are lucky buggers, you get to do shooting with SA80s, we have to use Norinco .22s in NZ. So you guys actually got to fly in Tornadoes? Shit, you also have Air Cadet planes, I guess that's because you get government funding, unlike us.

[TheVooDooFish]

At 2:05, the pilot is so trying to be something out of Top Gun XD

Really love this vidio, great song choice and really well put together! <3

I love the ATC!(:

[rhysybum]

half that foottage isnt even yours your not alllowed to fly that close to each other

[Reav384]

No shouting at single cadets is banned. However, it is acceptable to shout to get their attention or over distance. It is also OK to shout at groups of them, but not at close quarters.

[Reav384]

just got my corporal, aged 14 years 2 months 16 days

=]

[captinslow09]

can u shout at people ? and btw i love cadets :)

[imanmjfanforever]

wow...thats a young age to be corperal?! congrats though :D

[Reav384]

thanks but i'll be one for at least 2 years now. they only give sgt if your 16+ . most of our cpls are 15/16, but i am under scrutiny at the moment due to events i won't go into but in short, they aren't sure whether i am mentakky mature enough. you know, i don't understand things the way there meant to be cos im 14. all wonderful :)

[ita1cmo]

Flying, Gliding and Shooting were by far the best things about ATC. Unfortunately i'm too old now but enjoy them when you can. I greatly recommend aerobatics in the Grob.

This is my sqn video, ive been in cadets for 4 years now and im the same as you! i hate flying, ive never been gliding and my officers and mates have only managed to get me in a plane twice...and i did get a pretty good griffin flight in cyprus. But hey its not all about the flying there is sooooo much more you can do, im pretty sure ive done most things you can do with cadets and i feel im a better person for it! Just give everything ago, it all pays off in the end!

[116728]

Some things to remember. Work hard, Play hard. If you dont ask, you dont get. You get out what you put in. And finally, seek and you shall find. All the best to all you Air Cadets - enjoy and love life. Take all the opportunities you can while you are there, but make sure you give something in return. p.s Never forget Team Work. "Stick together like frogs eggs" (ex cadet 1330 Squadron)

[fsbritney]

Everything is optional, you're not expected to have any experience or knowledge when you start out. You'll be taught everything you need to know by excellent staff and senior cadets. Go on, give it a go.

[vampyemobabe23]

ok thnx ! can i ask how old you were when you joined (btw this is me just different account)

[fsbritney]

I was 13 and 2 months when I joined, I'm now 22 and am an officer!

[helloworld228]

What is the Soundtrack on this Video?

[aaronhussain]

Whats the Soundtrack called ?

[asstvproductions]

Exceptional Video

We are trying something similar too, but as yet we have not got far. Music goes very well.

Sgt Laurence Knott 1140(steyning)Sqn, Sussex Wing ATC

[fsbritney]

Cheers Sarge! Let me know when you're done.

[000367]

oh, like an id card sort of thing?

[fsbritney]

Exactly, except it's a book that you can keep other details in.

[000367]

Could you tell me what the "3822" is?

[fsbritney]

The RAF form 3822 is the little blue book that identifies you as a cadet. Every cadet carries it on all cadet activities. You'll be issued one by the Commanding Officer of the squadron, you'll have to fill it in and put a passport sized photo inside the front page. You'll also have to fill in an additional form that'll be kept on the squadron as a record of your details, exam results etc.

[fsbritney]

I just noticed that your profile says you're 28. If this is accurate it means you are too old to be a cadet. You can however volunteer as a Civilian Instructor, and in time perhaps become an Adult Sergeant or an officer.

[000367]

I am not 28, im 14, i just added random details to make signing up quick!, ps, the Parade nigt went well! i am now Cadet Rooney! thanks for the help

[fsbritney]

In that case you need to call me "Sir"! Glad I could help, good luck with your career in the Corps!

[000367]

Sorry sir! what rank are you?

[fsbritney]

I'll PM you, it's not the sort of thing that should be discussed on an open forum.

[asstvproductions]

sorry this isnt my account, its for another project im doing. the mean age is 28 lool

[nanotech151617]

.. if you can help me, ill be gald because i want to join the af.

[fsbritney]

You want to join the RAF? I reccomend that you got to your nearest Armed Forces Careers Office.

[000367]

I am going to the barracks tomorrow then, they have a parade night then. thanks for the advice

[fsbritney]

Excellent! Let me know how it goes!

[000367]

would some tell me if it is worth me joining the ATC? There is a wing near me and I would like people who are already recruits to give me their opinions!

[fsbritney]

It depends on what you're looking for. I've been a member of the ATC since I was 13 and two months old, I'm now 22! In my opinion the Air Training Corps is the finest youth organisation going, providing more exciting and character building opportunities than any other.

[CplMonty]

lol that is one sweet video. Lot betta than ours, but im trying to get a new one up nd running soon.

[fsbritney]

That's hardly fair! I'm sure there are some nice ones. Somewhere...

[atj0888]

woooooooooo!!!

Go Pembroke!!

FS A Jones, 1358 (Pontardawe) Squadron.

[fsbritney]

Goooo Ponty! Whoooo! lol

[fsbritney]

Thanks bandtravel, my thoughts exactly. There is too much negative press against teenagers these days. The young people that I've had the pleasure and honour to serve with in the Corps are the complete antithesis of the hoody wearing, White Lightning chugging thug stereotype all too often associated with todays youth.

[steery]

true true i dunno im just Jealous lol

[steery]

but cadets just dont need it its a lot of money just to be "wasted" on cadets that hardly ever fire at targets over 300m

[fsbritney]

I doubt that the SUSATs were purchased for the cadets, they're probably existing ones borrowed from the station, so no money wasted there. The Corps is all about experiences, and using a SUSAT is just another experience to enjoy.

[steery]

true true but its not really needed but i want one too

[fsbritney]

Depends what you mean by "not needed". The Sight Unit Small Arms Trilux improves accuracy by a large degree in my experience.

[steery]

wtf L98 with susat fitted to then lol why?

[fsbritney]

A more appropriate question would be: Why not?

[Lewbrication]

Im in the Regional Drill team for 303 Worksop Squadren. After we take Regional, We shall take The Core Championship =]

[fsbritney]

Go for it!

[aceridgey]

hi im from the 868 squadron in west yorks, nice vid, what wepons are they shooting at about 0:55?? reply to me directly please!! cheers
