Maj. James Preston, C (Gibraltar) Company Commander said:

“We are delighted to be celebrating 150 years of this fantastic movement. The Cadet Forces offer such great opportunities for thousands of young people across the UK. We are encouraging people to find out more through “Cadet 150 Ipswich”. Join the Cadets who have taken an interest in a Military way of Life to have fun and commitment to the local community – come along with us in 2010 and “Live the Adventure”

David Sheepshanks, the “Deputy Lord Lieutenant for C (Gibraltar) said: “I believe that the Cadet movement is more relevant today to young people than ever before. At a time when job opportunities are increasingly limited, the various Cadet Forces offer teenagers the chance of training and skills as well as fun and camaraderie.

“Joining your local Cadets can provide an immediate benefit in terms of the self-esteem and satisfaction that comes from playing your part in the team. Most importantly it can arm you with the confidence to go on in life and fulfil your potential.

“So if you are thinking about it, give us a try, we would be happy to welcome you. It can be such an important first stage in your own personal development.”
