Yes, the Air Cadets do give free training, it can be any training like shooting, flying, gliding, Parachuting, Survival skills, Team building they can even improve your chances of employment in the future
Air Cadets is actually lots of fun. They pretty do what Army Cadets and Sea Cadets do as well. They shoot, they fly, they glide, but either way all three organizations would have a biased opinion of which one is better.
It depends on the unit you are planning to go to, apparently the Royal Canadian Air Cadets is free, Not entirely sure for JROTC and the American Cadets Organization
It wasn't until 1981 that girls were allowed to join the Air Training Corps (Air Cadets). But now there is nothing stopping girls over 13 years old from joining.
No, Air Cadets do everything the army cadets do, (Shooting, Drill, Camps, etc.) and more, The Air Cadets do all of those things as well as flying.
Yes, you do get to use Guns in the Air Training Corps (UK) such as .22 No8 Rifle and the L98 A2 Rifle and the L81 A2 Sniper Rifle In the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, Cadets are limited to using air rifles (the Daisy Model 853C) and I think on some occasions live firearms.
Both Cadet Organization have almost the same type of awards such as Promotion, Lord Lieutenant's Cadet, Young First Aider etc. Except Army cadets have more ranks and no age restriction for Cadet Ranks except for Cadet Under Officer, however you can stay in Air Cadets longer. For Air Cadets you can stay until you are 19 but if you are the Highest Rank in the ATC (Air Training Corps) you can stay until you are 22 years old.
Royal Air Force Air Cadets was created in 1941.
The air training corps are based all around the UK. You can join from the age of 13 to the age of 20. Squadrons may be different from one another but you learn great skills like flying, shooting, drills, banners, field craft, survival, and LOUDS. Air Cadets is a great thing to get to do so go to your nearest squadron and give it a go.
No... Cadets is no alternative to your education.
This would depend on what you think, this is a personal opinion question. however people like The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles did say "Air Cadets is the Biggest and best Organisation out of all the cadets" But yet again it's opinion Well being a corporal in army cadets but my opinion would be to pick army cadets but air cadets are just as good as army cadets with the bonus that air cadets get the chance to fly helicopters!
