There are (or were, in my memory) many more life-experience benefits to joining the Cadet movement, even if it has been watered down by the demands of Suzy-Soccer mom's everywhere nowadays.

I learned about some of the most useful skills in life from Air Cadets that I would never have learned at school. Guns or not, this is a good idea.
