yo guys im not hear to abuse or be abused,im from 2328 (bishops cleeve),myself and a cadet from another sqn are planning to organise a night excercise,it would most likley contain 25-40 cadets with appropriate staff.

It would be on a hill and could only be up to 3 hours long,anyone got any ides,anything would help becuase its the first real night ex our sqn has done with others and i want to make a good impression on our CO by organising the excerise,thanks

Also nice vid

@bishboshj

hi there are various exercises that can be run. firstly look at the terrain and what type of exercise. i assume a night movement exercise. give goals to be reached such as gathering information from set points on a map.

@bishboshj

- this encorporates map reading and orienteering along with problem solving if you put obstacles (enemies) positioned on route. i would suggest having two maps and spilt the evening into 2 parts one team be enemy defending some intel that CANNOT be moved from a general location and second use a different map with different intel and different locations. as its a night ex id suggest having the intel pieces put in a polypocket with a glow stick attached.

@serenity1344 is correct. Currenty the largest sqn, not only in the wing or region but core is indeed 1344sqn Current sqn cadet numbers as of 6th Jan 2011 1344 Cardiff. 146 126 City of Derby. 137 1083 Uxbridge. 135 1475 Dulwich. 134 2427 Biggin Hill. 121 146 Northwich. 119 331 Chesterfield. 113 93 City of Bath. 110 1312 Southend. 110 215 Swansea. 108 Of course the best squadron is always going to be the one you're in, and if you think it isn't then do something to make it the best.

cool i got to 2000 (eckington) sqn and we do the same stuff as this it would be cool though in the video that you include some stuff at the sqn like parade and also night-ex and stuff :)

[ToningFrancesco]

@serenity1344 Agreed, Sorry if my comment came around as a bit of prick lool

[serenity1344]

@ToningFrancesco Being around the longest does not make you the best.Its the staff and cadets that make a Squadron what it is. Even quantity doesn't make you the best(and I'm from the largest Sqn in my Wing and, I think, Wales and West Region)its the time and effort put in by the staff to run and organise the activities and the time and effort put in by the cadets and their parents to attend.Anyway we're all here to do the same thing and though a little competition is healthy its not everything!
