Annual Camp 2010

From the 7th -- 15th August Cambridgeshire Army Cadet Force was based at Crowborough Training Camp, East Sussex, for its 2010 Annual Camp. Just over 100 Instructors and nearly 290 Cadets enjoyed activities including Shooting, Fieldcraft, Signals, Canoeing, and Assault Course to name just a few. We were also lucky enough to have the Royal Signals Motorcycle Experience for a couple of days. This gave the junior cadets some time on motorcycles but also the other stands that the team bring with them. The Cadets got some hands on training with signals kit as well as see the different uses and ways signals can be used. For some cadets they followed camp with and expedition which took place on the North Downs. This was a 3 Star and Silver Duke of Edinburgh's Award expedition.

ur lucky we havent used the javelins yet

[CambsACF]

@MrMaxydoodle The regular soldiers who helped on the ranges brought weapons that they use with them. Cadets got lessons and hands on with a wide variety from sniper rifles to the Javelin; however these weapons were not fired by Cadets or Instructors.

@MrMaxydoodle wow your lucky to even be thinking of getting to use javelins i have used the l98a1/ a2 and a double barrel shotgun and i will never get to use a MINIMI or a GMPG

[CambsACF]

@TheBaverz Cambs ACF would like to stress that Cadets will never fire a live Javelin. They are shown to Cadets for the purpose of interest lessons to show the type of weapons Soldiers are using conflicts. Some senior Cadets have had the opportunity to use a Javelin connected to a computer that can simulate the use of the weapon.
