SERGEANT PROMOTIONS!🎖️

Well done to recently promoted:

SGT Franc
And
SGT Mould

Having successfully completed their SNCO boards earlier this year, both have demonstrated the leadership, professionalism, and commitment required to take on greater responsibility within our unit.

Their dedication and hard work set a strong example for their peers, and we are confident they will excel in their new roles.

Well done both! 🎉

Congratulations to Flight Sergeant Ramage, who recently passed their Methods of Instruction (MOI) assessment!

After completing their preparation on squadron and undergoing assessment off squadron, both cadets have successfully passed their MOI assessment. Their final test involved delivering a lesson, where they demonstrated confidence, knowledge, and strong teaching skills.

They are now officially authorised to deliver lessons from the training syllabus unsupervised — a fantastic step forward in their cadet careers.

Well done Flight Sergeant!
