NEWKID 27,264 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 The lads finally 8 and a half, so he's old enough to join marine cadets ( 2 years he's been on about it), Intake was Monday, and he's just been marched out of the drill hall by his cousin, who's been made troop commander,... The locks have been chopped off as well, the missus was gutted lol 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 27,264 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I agree socks, manners etc are taught at home anyway, but this will Instill more. On top of that, he goes camping, kayaking, making fires, coasteering... There's even a helicopter ride lined up for them... I'm a bit jealous tbh... Lol 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think your young 'un will thrive on it. Nice one mate, glad your lad likes it.. My lad is right into all the outdoor things, there's a new climb centre near us and he's been doing that for a while nôw, I took him down Sunday morning, he's progressed onto the main walks now, learning the knots etc... When he was 30ft up looking down and smiling at me, my heart was ticking a bit lol.. Now he wants me to take him up Dartmoor to climb, no fear with kids is there lol, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
