Further ACF Unfairness.

So as my first Blog, I ranted about how the in my detachment is making an unfair promotion.

So during the 2 of the 4/5 weeks we have been off Cadets there has been a promotion of a Male Cadet in our detachment to Lance Corporal and Female cadets promoted to Lance Corporal and Staff Sergeant, The male Cadet has definitely deserved the promotion, since he has done all the right things to get promoted, as did the Staff Sergeant, however the promotion of one of the female Cadet to Lance Corporal has been controversial and the Staff Sergeant, Corporal and the Male Lance Corporal as well as 2 of our Cadets as well as around 2 male Cadets disagree with the promotion of her and that I deserve it more than her, and I obviously agree.

The fact is one of our Instructor even trusts in my decisions without notifying him about what I do, I help new recruits as well as more experienced Cadets with their uniform, and teach them different methods of sorting their uniform and do what they feel is more comfortable for them to do as well as even polishing their boots and ironing their uniform especially a certain Cadet who I have helped and taught multiple different times.

The Staff Sergeant even said herself that she has been in the Cadet Organisation for around 4 years and I have been in the Cadet Organisation for around 3 years and yet I am still a Cadet, she has also pointed out that i should at least be the same rank as her if not a Sergeant, she has also pointed out that i have more Pros than Cons whilst the Female Lance Corporal has more Cons than pros. Another fact is that we had a Cadet Party on Monday and me and 3 other cadets, One was a Cadet, the other a Lance Corporal and the other was the Staff Sergeant, the other Cadet was talking quietly to the 4 of us and as i quote the female Lance Corporal said to him "I swear to god Brandon, if you don't shut up when we get back to Cadets, I will make your Cadet Life a living hell for you."

One of the Cadet's mother of which was the owner of the house we stayed at used serve in the British Army, I told her how my Father served since the Falkland wars and is only a Major because of his Ethnicity and if he was a Caucasian officer he would at least be a Brigadier by now, so she said that if she was in the Cadet Force she would only promote people for their ability and not their ethnicity, nationality or anything else, she even said just because her daughter was in the same detachment as her, does not mean she will promote her because she is Family, but if she is capable of being an NCO she should be an NCO, the mother also said to me that if my detachment commander did not give me an legitimate reason for my promotion, I should report it as a Racial situation.
