It was an experience he will neve forget, in- cluding a six day hike on the wind-swept barrens, fishing for seal and Arc- tic char, flights in Arm- ed Forces Hercules and Buffalo air-craft, and the strict regimen at the hands of some pretty tough regular forces Air- born officers who seem- ed to take great delight in putting the young Cadets through the hoop every chance they had. In an interview with the Star last week, Rob laughs about the drill in- structors, but he remembers the five mile runs in the mornings and the 30 push-ups for the slightest infraction. For Jeff, the camp at Ipperwash was the first time he's taken part in summer Cadet activities, and he says it was a great experience. He earned his cor- poral's stripe and has his sights set on another camp next summer. Rob is Cadet leader and instructor with the Corps in Port Perry, and once he finishes high school, he'll be going in- to the Armed Forces where he hopes to start a career as a training officer. Jeff also has his eye on the Armed Forces as a career and his interest is in mechanics. Both agree that Cadets has much to offer a young person (male or female) between the ages of 13 and 18. "It has really changed my life for the better, the discipline, the challenges, the good friends I've met. Cadets has helped me to be a better student as well," he told the Star. The Cadets Corps has much to offer young peo- ple, he says, in the form of courses, first aid, weapons training, trips and summer camps which are all expenses paid and include pocket money. The local Cadet Corps held its first meeting for the fall on September 11 with about 20 returning cadets and more than 30 others expressing an in- terest in joining. Those numbers are good news for Rob and Jeff who fear that if par- ticipation declines local- ly, the program could be disbanded. The local Corps meets at Port Perry High School each Wednesday evening and a warm welcome would be ex- tended to any young per son interested in becom: ing a member If you see Rob Smith and ask him very nicely, he might tell you how he crossed the Arctic Circle this summer Step-brothers Rob Smith (left) and Jeff Benjamin are very ac- tive in the Port Perry Army Cadet Corps. They attended cadet camps in different parts of the country this summer and are now working to keep the Cadet force healthy in this community (see story).
