Drill (marching) is a vital
part of encouraging teamwork. When a group of twenty cadets walk on to a drill
square they are all individuals, but as soon as a session of drill begins the
cadets become a team following the orders given by one person. Instead of twenty
individual feet hitting the ground, there is only one bang this is result of
practice and teamwork.
Drill is also used to move
cadets from one place to another in a smart orderly fashion. This shows
civilians and members of the forces just how well disciplined the cadets of the
Air Training Corps are.
Drill & discipline is the
responsibility of the Adult Warrant Officer (A.W.O) or Non Commissioned Officers
(N.C.O) on a squadron. Once a Cadet has gained a few years experience and has
attained an N.C.O rank, the cadet will pass on his knowledge and experience to
other cadets such as instructing cadets how to participate in a drill squad,
taking charge of a drill squad or flight or even taking a major part in
ceremonial drill such as a Standard Bearer at Remembrance Day Parades.
