Three Rye Cadets have spent the weekend at Crowborough Army Camp taking part in the very first inter-service cadet challenge.
Cadets from the Sea Cadet Corps, Army Cadet Force and the Air Cadets battled through a series of adventurous activities.
Rye Royal Marine Cadets Jack White, Elliott Spall and Reece Martin took part in activities including raft building, air rifle shooting, speed marching, first-aid scenarios and an arduous obstacle course.
Chief Petty Officer Steven Smith, Officer in Charge of the Rye Unit, said: “I am very proud of our three cadets taking part in the first ever inter-service cadet challenge. It was a challenging weekend with temperatures at Crowborough Army Camp reaching 27C [81F]. Our three cadets showed true grit and determination.”
