Ex Cadet Remembers the RMC March Past “Precision” and Wonders…
I was googling and came across an article in e-Veritas from last year that I must have missed when it first came out. It had to do with re-introducing the words of Precision to the Cadet Wing, many of whom, the article said, were unaware that there were words to the march past. This comes…
