"people from a higher status"?
Before hand i was very shy and only spoke to people i knew, I wouldn't have been good in a job interview for example.
Prior to joining the TA I was "lazy ignorant undisciplined and unemployed"
can't see that's a problem.
no ones forcing Cadets to join the army as much as no one forces scouts to be scout leaders though it's fair to say it is advertising the forces.

Well, it worked for our country for many years and helped us win world wars!Yes it would be wonderful to live in a militarised society wouldn't it, and those teenagers and unemployed people are just lazy ignorant undisciplined drains on society
aren't they?

I don't. but i think that the Cadets do a damn good job of getting kids of the streets and doing something worthwhile, even if they never join the forces they'll have years of fun and adventure, personal goals (DoE) fulfilled and a full CV if they want to work with people, or in the outdoor industry, under their belts!.I think it's a crying shame to associate something as fulfilling and worthwhile as bushcraft with the military and servility
can't see that's a problem.
