I couldn't comment on the current Onslow situation but often events of all types see cadets as little more than 'free bodies' . Again, in my opinion a 13 year old is not the right person to use as a steward, especially if they are tasked with telling people to move out of the way.

I agree wholeheartedly. And it is fantastic to be both on the outside looking in and the inside looking out. But I think there is always room for feedback.
