Well that was 2009 but we’re already four months into 2010, so what’s happened so far this year?
Firstly we’ve been raising money for a new minibus and thanks to an outstanding effort from the cadets, staff and civilian commitee we’ve managed to raise £17,000! The new(ish) minibus will be delievered next week and all the details will be divulged in a separate post shortly…
There have been a significant number of promotions since the last congratulatory post: Cadets Carter and Cox were promoted to Corporal; Cpl Farrant and Cpl Kavanagh were promoted to Sergeant, recently joined by Cpl Le Vey; and Sgt Simms was promoted to Flight Sergeant, making him the most senior cadet on the squadron.
Examination results came through for those cadets who took part in the March exams. Cadets Beedle, Englebright and Gooders attained Credits in their Leading exams, with three others attaining partial passes. Cdt Simms, Cpl Cox, Cpl Pettit, Sgt Farrant and Sgt Kavanagh all successfully past their Senior exams with Cpl Cox acheiving a Credit. F/Sgt Simms has also past both parts of his Staff Cadet and been awarded his lovely yellow lanyard.
Lastly, we’ve had an influx of new recruits who have already started throwing themselves at every opportunity that’s been presented to them and are hard at work making their new uniforms look smart and shiny…
That’s about it so far, that’s notable anyway. Some stuff happened on the staff front but no one’s really bothered about the staff…
Stay tuned for more updates!
PS. Congratulations to CI Milligan for passing his Region board and being awarded his commission as Pilot Officer; Welcome to Sgt Fisher and CIs Loome, Lewis and Lewis; and finally congratulations (or is that commiserations?) to Flt Lt Foster on being appointed the squadron’s new Commanding Officer. See, we do care about the staff really.
