One Cadets parent, Helene Hardy added:

"Since joining the Army Cadets (Lytchett Detachment) my son has turned into a very strong, confident & proud young man. Through extensive and high standard training by SSI Fudge and his team, Sebastien has learned invaluable life skills and discipline.

Being part of the Army cadets has given him a huge boost and I am so happy he is doing something he truly enjoys and is passionate about"
