Answer 1

I'm a cadet at st john ambulance and it really is amazing. Not only do u learn first aid and stuff. But they take you out to places like theme parks, camping and leisure stuff. At the end of this month i'm going to a theme park with them. I also finished my photography and radio com courses as well. Oh and you go on duties in public places. It is really quite spectaclular!

Jings, it's been a while since I was a cadet. I used to be involved in marathons, fun runs ans sponsored walks. Us cadets were on hand to give first aid to the athletes, mainly re-hydration and help with blistering. It sounds petty but made a big difference to the folk who were competing. Another thing that we were asked to do was try to drum up some interest within the local schools. It's amazing how many youngsters had no idea that they could actually help out the community without needing a university degree. A good team spirit was the best thing I remembered about my time as a cadet. Unfortunately, as I progressed in the service, I got cold feet with some of the more serious stuff and had to give it up as I would have been no good in a proper medical emergency....
