- The drill sequence from the 2013 Air Cadet Organisation National drill competition. 2367 Squadron represented Scotland & Northern Ireland Region, and was competing against the other five Regions of the Air Training Corps and the best Combined Cadet Force (Royal Air Force) team.
The team came a very close second overall.
Use to love being the tallest in my company in Army Cadets, always right hand marker and never had to move. they always come to me :P
Lucky I'm normal 2nd to marker 😭😭😭😭😔🙄
It's always interesting to be right mark
Nahhh man I’m always the shortest lmfao
@@kadicollantine4734 I'm number 7 so that's cool
What unit did you go to
wow that change step was perfect
SamBaker BF4 q. X. Q.
Yup I'm in sea cadets and most cadets won't even know how to change step.
I was about to say that like omg
I'm an air cadet. Cdt Ramshaw. Got several badges and I do a pretty good change step. I'm going to a parade event soon
I audibly got excited when I saw that, like damnnn..
This is some of the best drill I've seen, and I've seen plenty throughout 22 years service. Your squad puts most regulars to shame. Well done!
I was thinking the same, never seen anything like it, well done!
That step change was so in sync it sounded like a gun shot! Well done cadets, an excellent drill 👍🏻
I’m addicted to that change step oh my days
For some reason it's very satisfying to watch. XD

6:19
I still struggle with passing out parades 😂😂
My condolences comrade.
ITS ME WILL rock on your heels very very slightly to keep the blood flowing
Me too
When standing easy you can move your legs slightly to keep the blood circulating in your body. You just can’t take your feet off of the ground.
Maturity1 _ you can also rock onto your heels to also increase the blood flow. Just don’t make it obvious
Incredible drill cadets. You make some regular army regiments look bad. Well done
Matsimus ummm no there’s a lot of skill that goes into army cadet drill
@@montanalandon2385 'regular army regiments' not cadets
Watching this gave me cancer
@@montanalandon2385 is there fuck its the same drill for both air and army cadets and dont try to lie because one of my school mates is in the army cadets and is a corporal
Army cadets drill is actually quite different I’m in air cadets and there’s a army cadet unit on the base too and it’s Very different like the timings and commands
I love the step change at 6:19

You are right there, Mr Adams. Our change of step here in Nigeria is less brisk. This one was imperviously subtle.
Whoa
America’s Change Step is similar but slower
Amazing. I love hearing the boot stops in sync when marching.
6:19 :)
Having gone through this process when I joined the RAF, I know beyond all doubt how much relentless hard work and practise those youngsters (and their NCOs!) have put into this.
BLOODY well done!
That change step was actually beautiful!!
I've been in air cadets for 3 years and even though it has tremendously boosted my confidence I still get anxiety (I cry at shooting and swimming and other high pressure events) but I still try and attempt all events with cadets but I must say I respect any cadet who has competed at drill comp because it looks absolutely terrifying. I mentioned the anxiety thing because I'm terrified of drill comp because of the pressure enough that I am scared to attend. This year hopefully I will attend and 2460 will finally get to the top 5 once again. 😊
Well done to this squadron, this was so satisfying to hear as an air cadet. Brilliant!

Hayley, I joined the Junior Leaders Regiment Royal Artillery way back in 1967 as a fresh faced boy of 15 'n a half! Our drill Sgt in Recruits Battery was Sgt Ken Wilkinson. Learning drill was murder, the timing, the dressing, the pain from all the foot stamping etc etc.
I remember him telling us on one drill session, "When you learn to do drill properly, you'll start to enjoy it because you will know how good you look!"
Practice makes perfect!
🤦♂️
Amazing drill, My Army Cadet corps's drill is almost as good. Up until now my corps's drill was the best drill I've seen, but now that I've seen a British Air Cadet Corps doing fabulous drill, My corps isn't the best I've seen anymore.
And it gets sooooooo much better than this
Hazo if you've seen Rotherham squadron at any bloody event then you know what competition looks like. Bloody hate them. 😫😂
Aha I'm from 2460 sqdrn btw so you gotta understand 😂
@@hayleychesman9950 ever heard of Chesterfield. Theyre the most hated Sqn in trent wing
Toby Massoom aw why 😂
With all do respect sir, your team will always be the best that you have seen. Your company will die for you.
6:18 That was perfect.
That step change was incredible
I was in XIX (19) Crawley Squadron for 5 years (2008-2013) and I thought the drill team I was in was fantastic but wow this is incredible! The ATC is a fab organisation to be part of though. Would recommend it to anyone of the suitable ages. I learnt so much in my time there and enjoyed it a lot. Even made a few friends along the way :-)
I was part of 1830 squadron, left at cadet warrant officer, I was there for about 4-5 years (2007-2012) and the drill team was fantastic, my little brother is continuing my legacy in April, hope he ranks up quickly and makes a few friends!
best drill squad i think i've seen
Jemima Hall should of bedn better they was in the nationals
Jemima Hall look up east arora njrotc drill
The first right dress was actually crazy
My squadron could never 💀
respect to these RAF cadets.. I was an Army cadet back in the day and I thought I was good at drill, but these gentlemen and ladies show us how it should be done.. couldn't fault it... a perfect 10
That change step thooooo!!!
there drill is so different to ours
speedwayfan are you in America if so yes
Bike Trooper nope in Australia im in the aafc
Same and I'm in normal British cadets
I’m in 1383 and I’ve been going for 2 month I can do some of this
Ellie Busby have fun, but it gets a lot lot harder.
I’m at 492 sqd and we are currently practicing for the drill comp, this video is exactly what we are aiming for, I can’t wait to show them this!
I am a sea cadet and, I usually command the squad so this has given me good ideas for future sessions of drill
Thank you
👍🏻🙂
Same bro accept i dont do the squads haha
I'm German and let me say, what a joy to see this young people and good drill.
That was excellent !... 👌
Personally i think it sounded lovely
We do the exact same drill in the South African military. Its nice to see the exact same stuff I was trained in being executed near flawlessly by such youngsters at the time.
I WAS IN 1451 SQ HAVERHILL SUFFOLK IN THE 1970S STAYED FOR 6 YEARS BECAME SGT ON DRILL TEAM AND HAVE MEMORIES FOR EVER .
Well done troops. I'm ex-army and now RAF Reserve and I'm impressed. Be proud of that display.
That marching change step was sharp. Used to dread those.
When I was an Air Cadet I loved Drill, and you all did so well
We did very competitive drill competitions when I was in 1189 Portsmouth ATC squadron fifty years ago. I thought we were pretty good until I saw this video...☹
As An Ex Army Cadet Myself Well Done 👍❤️
it's almost satisfying how perfect their size order is
Sarcasm is the lowest form of humour . . .
@@jackx4311 Bro chill, this ain't sarcasm I genuinely think it looks good when they stood in line to call their numbers and their size order looked perfect
Well You nailed all of those movements by command, better than many regulars I’ve served with on parades over the years. I would imagine many of you are living the dream in HM Forces now.
Takes me back to when I was 13 and in the cadets. Absolutely fantastic
Great performance guys, you can tell how much effort you put into that. Very good
trying to explain to a friend in norway what the aircadets let me do and this video really represents some of the more fun things we got up to.
always have fond memories. morpeth sqn
I've aged out for a couple yrs but I still comeback and re watch. Muscle memory is still there when I head commands. It's literally 1am never thought I'd miss doing drill 😭
Superb Drill! It's amazing how one learns coordination when being drilled or have been drilled on the square! Exemplary dress & timing!
I had used to be 365 Out of Ponoka Alberta, I was 14 yrs old, until I got older I didn't realize how much that discipline and training actually affected my life!!!! Long live the Air Cadets!!!!
Just amazing ❤ former Cadet very impressive
It’s ashame not everyone can appreciate how well these kids did, this is fernomonal
this has helped me so much :'D
Glad to hear it!
Glad to hear it!
That was brilliant well done. Brings back good memories, thanks.
This is some amazing drill! I am very impressed by how in-step they are! There were some commands that were done that while I knew what they were doing at my squadron we use different commands for the action!
The instructor really quiet at the beginnings of the command, a no no....
Shardz So is mine. He was in the RAF for years and focused purely on drill and teaching it for the latter part of his career and he even wrote some of the drill manual. Furthering that he is very well known and respected when it comes to drill in the RAF and particularly in the ATC. So it doesn’t matter bro
This is good I don't know why I find it unsettling
I'm a sea cadet but this I have to say was absolutely brilliant
Daniel Hanna No it was not.
***** what's so funny with that.
***** whats so funny about being a sea cadet. for i dont think anyone finds it funny!?
+DannyH 2232 I think people do that because each set of cadets is supposed to be in rivalry with the other. I only joined air cadets a little while ago, but I still think it's the best. It's all down to personal opinion. I have a couple of friends in sea cadets though and it looks amazing! We share grounds with army cadets on Monday and it looks cool too. I think they're all amazing! 😊
Same lol
As a new Cadet, the thought of doing this only for it to be seen by not only the COs but also 322,365 people horrifies me. God, I haven't even gone on my first camp yet. I haven't even passed basic training and it terrifies me!
drill is a skill that takes time to become confidant with! you will become amazing at it as you stay longer! Trust me is worth it
Great to see WO Butler there! He was my WO. A superb man.
This is excellent drill overall. Unless they've changed the timings, the 'pause' is a fraction too long, but other than that it's great!
*I'm a Sea Cadet and i can honesty you put us to shit, that was excellent*
This is going to help me some more for WTD. Going to be scary first time for me but hopefully i will do everything just ok.
This takes me back to the 1960's when I was in 287 (4th Edinburgh) Squadron and we won the Scottish drill competition each year I was there. Apart from the first command, we did the whole (complicated) sequence without another command being issued.
Meanwhile there's the air cadet leader who was marching behind my UOTC company calling out the wrong timings for her midgets when everyone is marching *to a band*
The about turn on the march was amazing.
The change step was amazing
I'm a cadet and to say that I could never do this is nerveracking. Well done people
Very sharp.
We watched this drill competition video in the ATC squadron that I go to
'12, LAST MAN SIR'. Other than that some of the best drill I've scene for a while.
very well executed, most disciplined cadet unit i've seen
Beautiful drill
When they were forming up at 1:12 they were doing this diagonal pair thing really good!!! My Sqn either does this well or horribly. No in between 😅
Change step was the neatest I've seen. I've seen a lot
Cadets we were serious little buggers, still are. 1285 (Caithness) Got me at mark time. 🥰 It'll never leave you, is a big team to do that so perfectly. What a culture. ❤ Without that last left wheel we'd all mark time against the wall (happened at I think Leeming summer camp). Very impressive people, very well done all of you.
Perfecto en todo, marcialidad en todo momento, viva el ejército británico, Hip, Hip Hip, hurra!!! 🏴
very impressive.. well done guys and girls!!
This was amazing!
I hate to say this. I really do. But this sqn’s drill is incredible compared to ours😂
Good job
These guys make the real RAF look like T-Flight!
Congratulations ! From here Brazil São Paulo. Hugs God bless you.
Just one comment on whoever is giving the drill commands......He sounds like an Accountant at a charity picnic......Commands should be loud, scary, and barely comprehensible........(Fred B.......Formerly of the Royal Montreal Regiment.....attached Canadian Grenadier Guards in 79)
+Fred B. give the CWO a break I'm from 1053
+Fred B. I beg to differ. It needs to be loud enough to be heard by all; it does not always need to be given at the top of one's voice. As this was in an enclosed environment rather than a large, open drill square, his voice was loud enough. I also disagree that it should be 'barely comprehensible'. What's the point in giving drill commands if they're not clear?
All drill commands should be given loudly and clearly so they can carry over distance if needed. There should also be a drawn out precautionary 'squad' when bringing the cadets to the position of attention but only if they have been told to stand easy, not just at ease. Also, when being told to face the left, right, rear or front of the squad, the direction of the turn (left, right or about) should also be drawn out slightly and the word 'turn' said sharply.
Fred B. Should the commands not be called within the order of the introductory than the cautionary and then the executive?
Not what AP 818 says
Can I just say this is the best drill I have ever seen this squadron is exepiltional
Epic, especially for cadets
There so good
Amazing ! The timing was perfect
I am an American and somehow this came up on my feed. We have a program almost exactly like this (but American) and it is called civil air patrol. Even though your drill is different it still looks good.
Wow I’m a sea cadet and we couldn’t be more formal than this, just wow but it is different in a good way we still have formal standards
this is so perfect, I love it! Amazing work cadets!!
I did more drill in cadets than I did in my whole regular army career
As an Canadian Air cadets, this drill is so much different
Christ that change step was on a whole other level.
Who else can probably never do this?
DANKUS MEMECUS I already do most of it😂
Yee So do the other 50 thousand odd British kids in the atc or apc
lol I can, I do it every Tuesday and Friday
Berzerker same aha
Drill honestly doesn't get too challenging when you get the hang of it, it mostly relies on you getting the timings right
If you type into tiktok air cadets finest drill this comes up tbh I could never do this nicely done
Pretty slick, infact very slick.
shouldn't the left marker have kept facing front on the eyes left?
Each member of the squad is expected to do the movements in the competition sequence.
Amazing drill, neat uniform, possible the best I've ever seen it.
This was amazing!. It also explains why my cadet group never even attempted to enter with the standard this high😄.
My squadron would take one look at this and make an immediate tactical withdrawal 😂😂
That’s an amazing drill well done lads and lasses 👍
Perfect.
Apparently They Got 2nd! No Way ! Shouldve Of Benn First!
Tesco Bleach they messed up some timings
They aren’t from the any of the southern regions, so they will never win
The sergeant/squadron commander was wrongly pronouncing some of the commands....
@@BombFlks He wasn't a sergeant he was a CWO lol
Ive noticed some mistakes, but alas, no one is perfect.
Classy
Gosh the memories of being in cadets. Thoughs jumpers are really uncomfortable XD ^^
Absolutely superb..!!
Excellent standard of drill! I used to do this for 359 Squadron Bexleyheath in the late 90s. The standard I saw at this year's remembrance was very poor. This is how it should be done.
Very very impressive! Well done all!
That change step was something else tho
Good god ,you have to stand up and take your hat off to that performance.
Woah there mark time is well over fast
Now a CPL watching this wow so good we'll done
