If you want to focus on land operations, whilst still
liking the idea of spending some time on boats, then join our
marine cadet detachment at Woking Sea Cadets. If you've got
the bottle, you could soon be following in the footsteps of
the Royal Marine commandos ... learning the combat skills of
camouflage and concealment ... reaching a rendezvous with a
map and compass (or perhaps just the stars to guide you) ...
and developing new skills to give you a head start in life.
|
The Marine Cadet Detachment is open to boys
and girls from age 13. So move on from the make-believe action
in the world of computer games. Get real and become a Marine
Cadet at our Woking unit.
|
When you change out of your combat kit for
parades and ceremonial occasions, you’ll wear the famous
‘blues’ – the best uniform of the Royal Marines.
|
Initial training within the Marine Cadet Detachment teaches
you the background and the history of the regular Royal Marine
service and its structure. You then progress to the next level
of training, which consists of basic map reading, field craft
and weapons training, bringing your knowledge to a higher level
and thus gaining you promotion (the Marine Cadets have adopted
the Royal Marines rank structure). As with their Sea Cadet colleagues,
the Marine Cadets have the opportunity to follow specialisations
and to visit regular Naval and Royal Marine establishments in
order to undergo advanced training.
|
As a Marine Cadet you will learn how to live
in field conditions.
|
You will discover how to use map and compass, camouflage and
concealment.
|
You will learn section battle drills, how to
use the latest weaponry, and so on. You can also try your hand
at any of the Sea Cadet activities, such as Sailing, Power boating,
Engineering and Sub Aqua Diving.
|
Marine Cadets are an important part of the
Sea Cadet Corps. Although their training is designed as an introduction
to life as a Royal Marine, a marine cadet does not necessarily
have to plan to join the Royal Marines or any other Service
later.
