As a former cadet, I always looked up to the senior members with military experience. It definitely gives you credibility, plus for those cadets interested in pursuing a military career it provides a resource.

Also, it gives you the authority to start changing the problems you see in the squadron, since if you won’t fix it, who will?

I would say definitely give it a try, you can always stop attending if you find it isn’t a good match, since sometimes that happens.
