Cadet treatment no worse than boarding school

The treatment meted out at the Army's Waiouru cadet school is being described this morning as no worse than that experienced at most boarding schools.

Trevor Gilbert was at the school in the mid-60s. He says that if there was any violence, it was only of the school-boy variety.

Mr Gilbert says most graduates went on to lead illustrious careers in the army. He become an instructor at the school in the mid-70s.
