Foreword for Cadet Book

Welcome to the Royal Air Force Air


Cadets.
You have just joined the UK’s leading uniformed youth
organisation. The RAF Air Cadets has aviation at the heart
of its activities and is fully supported by the Royal Air
Force. I hope you will take every opportunity to visit Royal
Air Force stations and fly in one of their Air Experience
Flight aircraft and to go gliding.

There is something for everyone in the Air Cadets and I


encourage you to explore every opportunity on offer, be it
flying and gliding, adventurous training, sport, music, the
Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, drill and ceremonial,
academic studies, community and charity work, shooting
and camping.

Please always remember that the Air Cadets are the public face of the Royal Air Force and
we therefore expect you to wear your uniform with pride and to behave in a way that reflects
the professionalism, discipline and high standards of the Royal Air Force.

Our motto is “Venture Adventure” and I very much hope that you will have lots of fun and
excitement during your time as a cadet. Remember, too, that your safety is of paramount
importance to us so, if you are ever worried that you or a fellow cadet might be at risk of harm,
report your concerns to one of our adult volunteers, who are there to keep you safe.

As you start your journey as a cadet, I wish you every success along the way. Our amazing
team of volunteers will enable you to learn new skills and achieve your full potential - but only
if you are prepared to make the effort required.

So, work hard and have fun - you are with like-minded people and are now, a very welcome
member of the Air Cadet family.
