Drill is a fundamental part of military life, it shows how disciplined and organised you can be as an individual - it also shows how well you work as a team player. When a group of Cadets walk onto a parade square they are all individuals, but as soon as a session of drill begins the Cadets become a team, following the orders given by one person.  Instead of twenty individual feet hitting the ground there is only one sound. This is the result of practice and teamwork.

​

Drill is also used when you are moving around in large groups in a smart, orderly fashion. Whatever the reason for a drill it's an impressive sight and shows civilians and members of the Forces just how well disciplined you are.

​

As a Cadet you'll participate in various forms of drill such as:

Foot Drill
Basic Drill (both quick & slow time)
Banner Drill
Band Drill
