No two days are the same with the Sea Cadets and Royal Marines Cadets. Submarine visit Friday, a visit to 152 (North Irish) RLC Regt on Saturday and today a Ceremonial parade.

Today some of our Ship's Company joined Sea Cadets from Northern Ireland to remember the 110 Anniversary of the start of the Battle of the Somme finishing with a service at St Anne's Cathedral.

Our busy weekend continued as cadets had the opportunity to visit 152 North Irish Regiment RLC and see the different opportunities and roles they offer reservists.

Cadets had the opportunity to watch refueling between a Close Support Tanker to a Unit Support Tanker also getting a trip on one of the CST vehicles.

Following this we had the opportunity to watch the Army's forklift operating moving equipment and cadets had the opportunity to operate the forklift.

After a quick cuppa to warm up, we moved on to Pet-Ops to see how the army quality tests the fuel they receive and despatch, diesel, petrol and aviation fuel.

A quick break for lunch and on to the next stance which was a demonstration on the army assault course. This was followed by a brief about the wide range of Sports and Adventure Training opportunities the Army offer to reservists.

The next evolution was a demonstration of a combat medical emergency situation and a look around an army ambulance.

We finished of the day with an enjoyable leadership task.

We would like to thank the officers and soldiers of 152 North Irish Regiment RLC for a informative day and showing cadets some options for their future.

Yesterday evening, some of our Ship's Company joined Northern Ireland Sea Cadets for an incredible behind-the-scenes tour of HNLMS Zeeleeuw (Sea Lion) - a Dutch Walrus-class submarine currently docked in Belfast.

Launched in 1987, entered service in 1990, Zeeleeuw is one of only three submarines of her class - and our cadets got to explore every inch of her.

The crew were incredibly welcoming, and the cadets had plenty of questions - including the important ones: How often can you shower? Is there a gym?

A massive thank you to the crew of HNLMS Zeeleeuw for such a memorable experience. Opportunities like this are exactly what makes cadet life so special. 🇳🇱⚓

FIRST EVER NATIONAL CADETS WEEK TO CELEBRATE CADETS AND RECONNECT YOUNG PEOPLE WITH THE ARMED FORCES

Tens of thousands of young people across the UK will have the opportunity to discover the cadet forces as the government announces the first ever National Cadets Week, taking place from 5-11 October 2026.

The week will celebrate the UK’s cadet community – one of the country’s most effective youth organisations – and the tens of thousands of young people and adult volunteers who make the cadets a success.

Throughout the week, cadet units across the UK will open their doors to schools, families, and local communities. Cadets and volunteers will take part in outreach activities, delivering presentations to schools and places of work to raise awareness of the programme.

With a strong focus on first aid training, activities will showcase the opportunities available, inspire new cadets, attract new volunteers, and demonstrate how cadet experiences help prepare young people for adult life.

As part of the Strategic Defence Review’s whole-of-society approach to defence, National Cadets Week aims to deepen the bond between the Armed Forces and communities across the UK.

Under the Government's ‘30 by 30’ campaign launched in August 2025, the MOD is expanding cadet opportunities for a new generation of young people – boosting the cadet forces by 30% by 2030.

This will deliver over 40,000 more cadets across the UK, supporting the government’s commitment to break down the barriers holding back Britain’s young people.

The initiative will showcase the opportunities available through the MOD-sponsored cadet forces: the Sea Cadet Corps, Army Cadet Force, Air Training Corps, Volunteer Cadet Corps and Combined Cadet Force.

A new Cadets Action Plan will be published during this week, setting out the government’s long-term vision to expand high-quality, accessible cadet provision and ensure more young people from all backgrounds can benefit. This will include modernising the cadet experience, providing an attractive offer to retain and recruit adult volunteers, and ensuring that cadets and volunteers have the right resources and support.

Great to be part of such a brilliant day alongside so many local groups!
We were delighted that our Deputy First Minister, local MP and MLA stopped by our stall during their visit to the event.
Special mention to the Deputy First Minister for trying on our cap — it suited her a little too well… we might have to get her signed up for staff at this rate! 👀
If you fancy giving it a go yourself, Belfast Formidable is always open to new cadets — come down and see what we’re all about!
