Altitude 2497 COSFORD SQUADRON The 3822 Smart phone App The 3822 App is for those cadets who have smart phones. The App would serve as a back up of their list of achievements. The 3822 App is not an official document because it will never replace the F3822a as a document, but is is officially endorsed by the Headquarters Air Cadet. The benefit of this App is if the F3822 gets lost or damaged beyond repair, the App offers you one way of getting the information back easily. The 3822 App is an electronic back up of the activities the cadet has completed. There is no personal information kept on the App. Adding extra value, the Air Cadets magazine will be put on the App. This is a massive benefit in itself. This provides a medium for the magazine to reach cadets. This will not replace the paper copy nor the electronic version, but simply be another option for cadets. As everyone knows it is important, for cadets to have access to the information that the magazine has in it. Moreover, if you have the App it automatically updates the newest version of the Air Cadets magazine on the day it is released. Cadet of the Month – February Congratulations to Cadet Collins on achieving Cadet of the Month. She was chosen by the NCO team for showing great enthusiasm and commitment in all cadet activities. Also, she has been able to demonstrate her skills well in the recent sports events and has achieved very high standards, being selected to play at regional level. As well as this, at the recent hockey trials she was able to give a very good tutorial to other less skilled cadets, some of who were older than her. Well done!! At the moment the App is on sale for £2.99. After Apple take their cut, the money generated is £1.82 which covers development costs, maintenance costs and future development of further Apps.
