Welcome to The Marine Cadet Section
What is a Marine Cadet?
Well it could be many things, however we describe them as highly motivated
young men (or women) with a willingness to learn and a desire to achieve,
and they have a ‘can do’ attitude and a methodical, but variable approach
to problems.
They have a willingness to endure hardship in order to gain promotion
and recognition, and an unselfishness in support of there detachment and
friends.
Their spirit and belief is beyond doubt, there camaraderie and ethos
evident. We endeavour to guide, nurture and hone these abilities and help
these individuals to grow and develop into well-mannered confident and
responsible young adults that are proud of their community and an honour
to it.
The Senior Marine Officer:
Major Terry Fitzgerald (N.T.C)
I have been a member of the cadet forces since the age of twelve which
means; I have over twenty year’s cadet experience. My latest appointment
is as Senior Marine Officer for the Navy Training Corps and I am also a
member of the National Executive Council.

Can I pass on my thanks to all those at TS Legion for hosting Phoenix Company, Marine Cadets this weekend for the Cadet Basic Course, from the OiC, through the Staff and Trainers, to all those who also helped out in the Galley, without whom the course would not have been possible. Can I also thank my colleagues on the MMT, the Major and CSM.
Finally to all the cadets and recruits, you were a credit to your respective Units, and the number of people who commented on your general behaviour and good manners was exceptional. Bravo Zulu to you all.
My first Marine Weekend – Very well organised, great food and nice people, thank you for making me so welcome on my first weekend with Marines
I am a marine cadet at TS Ark Royal and TS Victory in Worcester. I like going to cadets cos we have lots of fun, and learn cool stuff. the best thing about cadets is the camps, we meet other kids from other units and make friends.
I am looking forward to marine camp next weekend cos we will be meeting other cadets from 901 marine troop in norfolk.
