Highest Accolades for 293 Cadets__________________________________________________ |
|
Number 293 (Cowbridge) Squadron has just
seen two of its finest cadets, Charlotte
Chatfield and Tom Jackson, appointed to the
rank of Cadet Warrant Officer, the highest
cadet rank in The Air Training Corps.
The number of appointments is strictly
controlled and the number of cadets that
reach the rank of Cadet Warrant Officer
constitute less than five percent of the
Corps’ 41,000 cadets nationwide. |
|
Both CWO's Chatfield and Jackson are looking
forward to a busy summer as 293 (Cowbridge)
Squadron receives a new Commanding Officer,
Flt Lt Liam Brace. CWO Jackson will
attend a course at the Corps’ adventure
training centre in Llanbedr, and CWO
Chatfield will be working her way towards
her Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s award.
The squadron is sending cadets to annual
Summer Camps at RAF Linton-on-Ouse in
Yorkshire and RAF Fairford in
Gloucestershire for the Royal International
Air Tattoo. Others will travel to
Bisley in Oxfordshire to compete in
tri-services shooting competitions.
Squadron members will complete expeditions
as part of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
Scheme, and will also have the chance to
experience sub-aqua diving in addition to
more typical forms of adventure training.
As another new addition to the Squadron
training program they will soon host a First
Aid at Work course and a defibrillator
course. |
