Editor's Note
Links are always a touchy subject. Some sites link willy-nilly to everyone on the internet. We at CadetStuff believe that this dilutes the quality of your overall message. Plus, we just don't want to have to maintain all those links, crikey! Anyway, the links you'll find here were personally uncovered by the CadetStuff staff and represent either an outstanding resource or an exceptionally interesting site. However, as always in the fast-changing world of the internet, what we linked to may not be what's there now. Cadetstuff makes no guarantees that these sites still exist or that their content is useful or appropriate. As with everything on the internet, be careful and use your own best judgement.
