There should be a regular commitment throughout the above periods of involvement
averaging at least one hour a week. This is the minimum and you should aim to do
more.
You should plan on the following:
 | 3 months - a minimum of 12 hours activity |
| 6 months - a minimum of 24 hours activity |
| 12 months - a minimum of 48 hours activity |
If duration for
Physical Recreation is 3 months, that means you would have to do sport on one
parade night per week. Reality is more likely that the cadet would do 12 hours
over a year.
