First Sea Lord Cadets 2019 As we welcome six new First Sea Lord Cadets, it’s only right that we pay tribute to our outgoing First Sea Lord Cadets for 2019. Special South West Area thanks goes to Petty Officer Cadet Zeta from Rugby Sea Cadets, pictured here (bottom) with her fellow First Sea Lord Cadets on her investiture in January 2019.
BZ to west Wales cadets Two sea cadets from west Wales have been named as Lord Lieutenant’s Cadets for the Vale of Glamorgan. They’ll aid the Queen’s representative for the area over the year of 2020. Able Cadet Joshua, from Barry, progressed from Cadet to Able Cadet within two years and was hoping to take part in the International Tall Ships Race in July, but this has sadly been cancelled. Able Cadet Lilimai’s passion is for the catering branch. She has completed a Class 3 Catering course and aspires to achieve the pinnacle qualification of Cadet Catering Instructor.
All aboard HMS Prince of Wales All nine Sea Cadets units within Warwickshire District were represented on a visit to HMS Prince of Wales, the Royal Navy’s newest aircraft carrier. The trip was organised as part of the carrier’s weekend in Liverpool. Twenty-four cadets and four volunteers were invited and many thanks go to those within the Royal Navy who made this visit possible.

New facilities for RMC Royal Marines Cadets in East Sussex and across the UK are set to benefit later this year from new facilities in Crowborough. Work is now complete on a new National Training Centre on the MoD site at Crowborough, which will also be the HQ for Zulu Company. Five classrooms – four indoors and one outdoors – will be used, along with a transit store and a multifunctional galley, which can be used as an extra instructional area, a meeting space or as a rest area for instructors or cadets.
West Sussex cadets treated to a visit on board HMS Exploit Three lucky units from West Sussex were able to see at close quarters the work of the Royal Navy during a visit to HMS Exploit. Cadets from Bognor Regis, Littlehampton and Chichester got to experience the P2000 patrol vessel on a specially arranged visit. Thanks go to CO Lieutenant James Silcock and his crew for this opportunity.
