I'm not referring to the local ATC cadets (I instruct with a local Sqn), but the school chums of said ATC cadets who decide that the Air Training Corps (or ACF, CCF, Sea Cadets, Scouts, Guides, Junior Red Cross etc) is not for them, but would rather hang around shopping centres wearing baseball caps under hooded sweatshirts, with a cigarette in hand, and paring knife tucked in waist band of oversized jeans which are hung too low for functionality.
Would you be comfortable walking past a gang of hoodies on a Saturday in a large shopping centre in uniform???
