As with all walks of life there are good eggs and bad eggs.
Good show to those with enthusiasm and drive.
Bad show to those few who give the Cadet organisations ( and he rest of us) a bad name.
To come back to the original question on this thread. Quite right, it isn't a dig or a fish, more a question of perception. The Cadet organisations will always be popular because of the ethos and sense of belonging instilled in their members. Those who abuse their positions are easily recognisable to the cadets and the wider community. All of us are responsible for instilling ethos, pride and drive in the Cadet oraganisations whenever we are exposed to them.
