Basic Training weekend - April 2008
The Basic Course is the first course the cadets attend during which they revise the information they have learnt at their detachments and are then tested. This supplies them with the basic foundation knowledge they will need to build on in the future years. D Company usually hold four such courses each year. Course 01/08 was held over the weekend of 19th - 20th April 2008.

The day starts
with toast & D Coy Jam, then it’s Parade and Inspection
by the Course IC. |

It can be just
a little physical but even the OC and the other adults are made
to join in. |
|
All the cadets are issued
with work books that contain all the exercises, and the cadets work
as a team to supply the answers. This helps the cadets to learn
how to work as a team. |

Finally the moment of truth - the enrolment ceremony. Jubilant cadets celebrate and prepare to go back to their detachment as one star cadets. For the twenty basic cadets this was a big hard working weekend but they did work hard and had a good time, next stop Pre Camp Weekend. |
