tents for camping perth image
Elizabeth3
I am thinking about joining air cadets with a friend. But we don't really know much about it. We wanted to know these things:
- do boys and girls mix?
- are you split into age groups or abilities?
- what kind of activities do you do?
- is it hard work?
- how strict is it?
- do you gte accepted straight away or do you have to go through a process?
- what was/ is your experience at air cadets like?
Thanks in advanced :D
Answer
when I was in air cadets (that makes me sound old) you had toe be 16 years old and have your parents permission.
Girls and boys mix except when you go on camps and you have separate tents and you were not allowed to fraternise although a lot of flirting went on...but that is teenagers for you.
you r given rank and when you do all the activities, like air craft recon and that we were put into to two groups commissioned and Non commissioned officers often the COs would teach the NCO etc.
activities we did each week were drill (marching saluting) etc, air craft recognition (learn about different air craft and what they look like) navigation (learning to read topographical maps)
we also were taught our phonetic alphabet, radio rules and what I call military sign language which is what you use when you are in a war zone or whatever and you need to communicate with other people.
we usually went on camps once a term to which meant camping, getting lost in the bush and learning how to put what we learn each week into practice.
once a year we went to the main airbase here in perth for 1 week to do training like boot camp and you usually have to complete a boot camp with in the first few weeks of signing up this is intense you are woken usually before it is dark and your day is filled with drill and classes and then its dinner and lights out. some times you have to compete in drill competitions against other cadet groups or join in with any major major military parades like here in Australia we have ANZAC day and we were expected to participate in the marches /parades for that
and we did the ooccasionalcommunity service that comes up from time to time.
I learned to aab-sail, usual rifle and shot gun, basic self defense and how to fly a glider.
well you get accepted straight away but then like I said they send you to boot camp for 1 week and alot people leave after this
it canbe hard work but it is good fun.
it is strict you have to wear a unifor and if you are female you have to wear your hair in bun or french knot and you have to wear the uniform correctly and your boots/ shoes have to be polished and you are not allowed to use peoples first names even if youknow them it is all cadet this or cadet that and yes seargent no sargeant.
I enjoyed it. I learned a lot.

Answer
Depends what area you are at..... if you're in or near built up areas like Perth city or some of the smaller towns on the coast the answer is no.... if you go beyond where civilization ends and find a good quiet spot far away from the maddening crowd then yes...Western Australia has a huge amount of undeveloped and generally not visited coastline... particularly up north... have a good look at Google Maps.... there is plenty of forest and scrubland where one can set up camp...quietly....however in most.. if not all... national parks one maybe required to be at designated campsites... even to the point of paying a small fee..... during FIRE BAN season fires... including portable gas stoves.. are not permitted... if at any other time one needs an open fire then the rule is to dig a pit approx. 30 cm ( 1 foot ) deep and have a cleared area... including twigs & leaves... of about 4 metres ( 12 feet ) in diameter.... once finished bury the coals after dowsing with water.... a toilet pit is used to bury faeces... not within 100 feet (30 metres ) of any waterway.... most towns have a caravan park where a tent can be pitched for a small fee... this includes use of shower & toilets & laundry & maybe a communal BBQ area....
