I joined the ATC as a cadet in 1965. I left in 2018, after having 'done' 40+ years as an instructor, including 25 in uniform.
It was he best thing I ever did (apart from marrying Mrs W of course). I learned a lot, and used it when I started work.
Because the Corps is open to anyone, the mix of character types is huge: cadets have to earn to get on with each other,
and how to take, and eventually give, orders.
I'm sure I would have been hard pressed to have had the modest success I had in the day job without all the stuff I learned in the ACO.
There will be a certain amount of BS and waffle in your son's early days as a cadet. Stick with it as it will get better and then see how far you can go.
Good luck and enjoy the ride!
