Portsmouth NEWS, today. The Gosport Royal Marines Light Infantry Cadet Band will be disbanded and all the instruments and uniforms are to be auctioned off on Sunday 5th March 2006. The band have been running since 1979. Colour Sergeant Lee Cullen who was a member of the Band for 6 years said, "I was a member for just over six years and it inspired me to pursue a career in the Royal Marines Band Service".

just picked up this thread and want to clarify marine cadets.
marine cadets are usually part of a sea cadet unit...and are in many towns throughout the country.
The RMVCC the Royal Marine Volunteer Cadet Corps is a different organisation. these units were formed in Royal Marine Barracks and units were at Stonehouse, Eastney, Deal, CTCRM and Chatham. The Chatham unit suffered an horrific accident whilst marching one night in the 1950s when they were hit by a car and several kids were killed.. The RMVCC has provided many many kids for the Corps and certainly Buglers branch. They tended to be well supported and each unit had over a 100 kids on the books and parading twice a week. In the 50s and 60 in full blues. JNCOS were usually detailed to the units as instructors as were candidates.... volunteer or...365a will indicate it in a negative way!!!. The units seemed to have more cred than the sea cadets....
So different to marine cadets units... and entitled to be called Royal Marine Cadets...........any way happy belated birthday.

sccWhy do you think that the RMVCC seam to have more cred than the Sea Cadets/Marine Cadets. Could it be the name?

I think because it has RM in the title... seems a little more official. Perhaps 'RN Cadets' rather than 'Sea Cadets' would have a little more of an 'official' sound to it. Sea cadets, Sea Scouts, boy scouts etc... sound a bit sameish
|

My missus is a PO in the sea Cadets and they aren't actually funded in anyway by the RN. Unlike the Air training Corps and the Army Cadets, which probably explains the lack of RN in their name.
|

I agree with the fact that the Sea Cadets should be renamed the Navel or Royal Navy Cadets. We keep being mixed up with the scouts and we are nothing like them.
As for not being funded by the RN we do get money from them something like 5 million per year (peanuts)and the use of navel bases for training. The Corps became a reg charity because someone at the time did not want to become pre service, but from the people I talk to from all over the country this now needs to change.
There is a saying in the Corps WE ARE THE BEST KEPT SECRECT

Hey Sunshine.. wind yer neck in a wee bit.. ..( good advice)..
Once you've joined ( if you have the privelige) ( difficult word to spell).
...and AFTER you've done a bit of the old basics..
THEN start forming comparisons etc...
There's a lot more to being an RMB than posting in this Forum....
As some haven't really grasped....

YOU CANNOT GO AROUND JUST CALLING ANYONE ROYAL...THE SOVEREIGN DECIDES WHO GET THE ROYAL IN THEIR NAME....THE SEA CADETS ARE JUST A KIDS ORGANISATION......AND ITS NAVAL NOT NAVEL.........DONT FORGET THIS ORGANISATION IS ABOUT FUN.....YOU ARE NOT IN MILITARY.......I AM NOT THAT KEEN ON MILITARY ORGANISATIONS FOR KIDS.... I THINK SCOUTS HAVE MUCH MORE FUN AND DO A WIDER RANGE OF ACTIVITIES. MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE FLIP TO THE FRONTS IN THE MILITARY STYLED YOUTH ORGANISATIONS OFTEN GET AN AWFUL SHOCK WHE THEY JOIN THE REAL THING...........

24 beers in a case; 24 hours in a day... coincidence? I think not!
The sea cadets have been such for a long time... if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Go and wash your mouth out Errol. Our Rab is of a more discerning nature than a blended Whisky. I would have thought Rab would have been more of a Dalwhinnie, or even a (my favourite) Benromach type of man. A fine Speyside single malt. I thank yew.

How tall do you have to be to be at High School? We get a lower and upper sixth, but no idea about High School. Ask Lofty Edwards, I think he went there.
