Re: Lincs Army Cadet Force - Horncastle Detachment

I've gotta say that it's a great experience for the adults too, watching the
timid 13 year olds grow in confidence and experience. We have had some real
quiet ones and really "gobby" ones at Horncastle, they have all settled in
to ACF life and are excelling. Whether they go on to an Army career or not
is irrelevant, the discipline, cleanliness, organising themselves and
leaning to deal with certain situations can change their lives.

I'm pleased you have both sent in "happy stories" of your children [even
though Newport is in 1 Coy] :( [4 Coy Rule] :)

If anyone else would like to know more about Lincolnshire Army Cadet Force,
or would like to join the Horncastle detachment, please contact me here or
