Air Training Corps (ATC) Reviews

The Air Training Corps is in my opinion the best youth organisation that exists. It offers young people opportunities that just aren't available anywhere else. The ATC is a youth organisation for young people aged between 13-20 and aims to provide RAF based opportunities to all of its members. New cadets can expected to be issued with a ...

I attended the Air Training Corps from the age of 13 to 18 and really enjoyed my time there. I will try and explain what it is all about in an attempt to get everyone to take their kids there or any other type of youth organisation! Does it mean you have to join the RAF? No, you can join the RAF when you have finished being a cadet ...

I have been in the Air Training Corps for one and a half years now and have enjoyed every second of it. I have done so much that i could never of dreamed of before joining, and some much of it has been free or of very little cost.I have made so many friends and gained alot of confidence. I dont know what to write, i cant write anything which will ...

As a child I belonged to many different youth organisations. I tried Brownies and Guides, but thought that the Scouts would have been much more fun, sadly they didn't take girls at that time (they do now). As soon as I was old enough, I joined Venture Scouts, and enjoyed the more adventurous activities offered there, but the organisation I really ...

If you remember these days you will be an old hand at the world of the cadets. What I'm about to undertake is a call back to a time of innocence, a link to York and not Scarborough, a time of fun, action, excitement and adventure, often involving live rounds in the gun of the Boon (well, not really my gun but, well, you'll see ...

Between the ages of thirteen to seventeen, I was a member of the Air Training Corps, and within those four precious years, I made some of the best memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life, had some fantastic experiences and met some damn-fine people, many of whom are still close friends. It isn't a prep for the RAF, ...

As an instructor at my local ATC unit (and former CWO) I can quite honestly say that the ATC is one of the brightest prospects in youth training and motivation in this country today. The Air Training Corps provide practical training not only for those who want to be in the military as a career, but for those who want something else other than ...

If you are between the ages of 13 and 19 and find yourself with way too much free time on your hands, and a lack of being able to commit to anything, you can trust both situations to be remedied by joining the ATC. The ATC (Air Training Corps - or Air cadets as we are often called) are a voluntary organisation, with links to the RAF. This ...

We are the best there is. 438 squadron is rated the best squadron there is. I know that because I am in that squadron. Air Training Corps is a voluntary youth organisation supported by the Royal Air Force so that means that we have to wear uniform. With almost 50 members in own squadron and 50,000 members in Southeast, aged from 13 to 22 ...

Ever agonized over which activities to encourage your teenager to take up? Especially, because you have to pay the bus fare or you have to drive the 'taxi' and you have to pay membership fees and the weekly dues. And you get very little out of it. Well, the best thing we have found is the A.T.C. Cadets (Air ...
