Progress through the ranks
By Flight Sergeant M. Stokes
Recently, the squadron’s Non Commissioned
Officer team has expanded and rearranged.
We, as an NCO team, make it our duty to connect the staff to the cadets. We are experienced cadets who have worked hard to achieve
our rank and share our knowledge and experience.
Firstly, Sergeant J. Alder was promoted to
the rank of Flight Sergeant for his effort and
commitment over the years. Last year he won
multiple awards at the squadron’s Presentation
Evening.

Next to be promoted were Corporals R.
Phillips and A. Mathias to the rank of Sergeant.
Sergeant Phillips has aided the squadron in the
building of its audience, by the creation of the
squadron website and other forms of social media, as well as the editor of this very magazine.
Sergeant Mathias is in charge of keeping the
squadron competitive by organising regular
competitions between the cadets, as well as
being a regular friendly face.
The other addition to the NCO team came
in the form of five new Corporals. Cadets N.
Lofthouse, S. Boyle, A. Morjaria, E. Giles and
M. Tolog all excelled in their interviews and
their hard work was rewarded with the gaining
of their new rank. They will now work with
longer serving members of the team to build
their confidence and improve on their leadership skills.

Congratulations to you all and good luck in
your new roles I look forward to working with
you! ●
