Everything our Royal Marine Cadets have learned throughout the past year was recently put to the test as they participated in their annual CATSEA assessment. They spent the weekend roughing it at Nesscliffe training camp as they were tested in all aspects of their training, including weapon drills, survival skills, and map reading. Unfortunately due to cadets being on exam leave our detachment was ungraded due to lack of numbers, however those who ran the event were keen to point out that this was the only reason for our grade and that our cadets were excellent in all other aspects. Whatever the result, we as a unit are very proud of the hard work we have seen our Royal Marine Cadets put in over the past year, and know that if they do the same over the year to come that in next year's assessment they'll get the result that they deserve.
