Q-RTF-X,

An excellent post above. I only have 30+ years RAF service but absolutely agree that both Sir Chris and Carol are superb selections for honorary appointments. It would be an absolute pleasure to meet or work with either of them and in any capacity.

I would certainly have a different view if our very senior leadership were ever stupid enough to go for a 'yoof culture tattooed chimp from I'm a Dancing Chef in the Jungle celebrity land' but that's just me.

Thanks - good to see the competition supported at a high level. The cadets - simply excellent, and a great example of the yoof of today. They, and their parents and instructors, should be very proud.

Nice to see these people giving up their time help, but what do these people actually do?


I am a little confused as to their purpose?


Don't get me wrong, I am all in favour of getting the ACO recognised..I just don't understand - are they to inspire the current cadets, encourage financial backers or recruit new Cadets.
If it's the latter, then I don't think I have see either of them in any sort of campaign.

I don't think she was appointed to inspire the cadets because as far as I can see, apart for a select few, it hasn't been publicised within.
My daughter has been an Air Cadet for well over three years (she's now an SNCO and very keen to join the RAF as a career) and she hasn't been made aware of Ms. Vorderman's role or even who she is.

She will be Shy, have no doubt. The announcement was only formally made on (I think) 20th November, and her (CV's) programme is in its very early stages.

She is keen to do lots and I'm sure she will.

It's been all over Air Cadet websites and social meeja, and promulgated down the Chain of Command. But you can never guarantee info being passed on .......

Did she know about Chris Hoy?

Having viewed this weeks Sun newspaper I would like to propose that Madonna be offered a similar position. The position she has assumed on the pages of the Sun leads me to believe she would be perfect for the job.

You have a good point there.

Madonna has two good points.

Any position with Madonna will be ok by me:)

True, it might be a local issue. I just asked her about Chris Hoy. She had little idea about who he is.

Kids eh! :ugh:

I meant local as in unit level... she's a bright enough kid.

Most, if not all, here will disagree. But I don't think it's appropriate. But there we are :hmm:

Ok Jindabyne, Who would you propose for the role, or if you consider using a 'celebrity' to do this is not 'appropriate', how would you get a similar amount of publicity for the Air Cadets for the same expenditure?
