Will air cadets help me?

Question

Will joining air cadets help me towards getting into university and taking a course like aviation ? Will they care ?

Answer 1

Yes they will. I am with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets

You learn a lot

the activities are great

people are great, you get involved in the community a lot

its free

they PAY for your private pilot's license, courses, flights and all

they have great counselors helping you like now, I take some of the juniors up in my plane to show them a little what its like.

they have counselors there guiding you towards whatever field in aviation. they probably won't pay for the university but they're helpful and it's fun.

Answer 2

I was in the air cadets (ATC).  If you are going to lead a career in the aviation industry it will help you, as it teaches you a lot about aircraft + you get to fly and lead towards you first ever solo flight in a glider.

It will be a plus on you CV and you University application but in reality to go to University and do a degree in aviation you do need to have good grades in Maths, Physics, and English.
