Combined Cadet Force
Over the years Chichester High School Combined Cadet Force has gained many awards and built up a very good reputation of being one of the best in the country. Its aim is to "provide a disciplined organisation in a school so that pupils may develop powers of leadership by means of training to promote the qualities of responsibility, self reliance, resourcefulness, endurance and perseverance". It is not a pre-service organisation, although it acknowledges that one of its objectives is "to encourage those who have an interest in the services to become Officers of the Regular or Reserve Forces", and many previous cadets have. It has an Army section affiliated with the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment and an RAF section but no Navy section due to an agreement at the time of the formation with the local Sea Cadets. The Army section regularly goes to Longmoor and Browndown Battery for training exercises and the RAF section makes forays to MOD Boscombe Down and other local airbases for Air Experience Flying. The contingent uses the L98A1 Cadet GP Rifle, the L82 Cadet Target Rifle and the Lee Enfield Rifle No.8.

Famous quotes containing the words combined and/or force:
“You do not become a “dissident” just because you decide one day to take up this most unusual career. You are thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility, combined with a complex set of external circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well, and ends with being branded an enemy of society.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“Power acquired by violence is only a usurpation, and lasts only as long as the force of him who commands prevails over that of those who obey.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
