What
is the Army Cadet Force?
As a cadet you
will wear Army uniform, but you are
not signing on as a soldier. You
are free to leave whenever you
like. After a short trial period
you will be issued with a uniform on
loan - which you will look after and
return when you leave the ACF. You
will, however, be asked to buy your
own boots - which is a small price
for a future packed with action and
adventure.
Will
I enjoy it?
This is a
question you can really only answer
yourself. Take a look at the
activities on this web site. If
they interest you, then pay a visit
to your local detachment. If you
like what you see, and are prepared
to apply self-discipline, then you
will certainly enjoy yourself. As
well as the activities arranged week
by week, there are also weekend and
annual camps.
What
will I learn?
In short, a great
deal…. The Army Proficiency
Certificate is designed to develop
your full potential. You will also
be encouraged to take part in the
Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme.
You can earn Records of Achievement
Certificates and also qualify for
BTEC awards. If you are willing and
able to accept ….responsibility you
may be especially trained and
promoted to cadet non-commissioned
officer rank.
How much does it cost to join Durham Army Cadet Force?
The cost of joining Durham Army Cadet Force is £10.00. This covers the cost of your insurance whilst you are a member. It is none refundable.
Do I have to pay weekly subscriptions?
There are no weekly subscriptions.
Is there
anything that I must provide myself?
You will have to buy a pair of
boots. This is the only item that we
do not supply. The Detachment
Commander will be able to provide
you with all the details of where to
them at a reasonable price
