O’Connor; We teach cadets and get them to the required standard to pass testing so they can progress to the next level.
Brown; Keep order and discipline so cadets achieve the standards expected.
Romanis; Pass on knowledge. All help cadets get the best out of camp.
What has been the highlight of camp so far?
All of them in unison; Chinook flight, attack by the river, section attack for the LT General.
What advise do you have for next years ADS?
Willingale; Be prepared to work hard, camp has been tiring but it's been so rewarding.
Wilmshurst; Prepare for your lessons.
O’Connor; Camp can be quite full on, if you can have your lesson plans ready in advance.
Brown; Realise that you are the standard the cadets will look to be like going forward. You need to set the level that the cadets want to be when they are ADS.
Romanis; Prepare, enjoy it and don’t be too uptight.
