Leading Air Cadet Grace O’Neill reports on the Sea Elective:
On the 24th of January one of the biggest cadet camps of all time took place, this camp was called Exercise Cadet 150. Around 10 cadets and I gathered at the Squadron HQ for a bag check (I was very proud that I didn’t forget anything) but somehow getting from the unit to the bus station I managed to lose my rank slides and hat, I managed to find them just in time to hope in the bus. After one of the longest bus rides ever we turned up in Waiouru. We got allocated our groups and tents and we got some time to mingle with our new team members.
One of the hardest things at this camp was getting up at 4.30 in the morning and trying to tie our shoelaces with very numb fingers. All week we did many fun activities including shooting, sports and a lot more, but the best one was the water activities. We were very lucky to be able to do the water activities because the weather was not the best, but on my groups’ day the weather was very sunny and we were able to participate. I did raft building, sailing, jet boating and kayaking. Exercise Cadet 150 was a very enjoyable camp and I learnt lots of new things and met lots of new friends.
