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.

Marine Company calender
It is the responsibility of the Unit, to keep this Calendar up-to-date.
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.
