Promotion!

On Friday 18th November, Hannah Roberts was Promoted from Cadet Flight Sergeant to Cadet Warrant Officer by Flying Officer Martin Dobson, Acting Officer Commanding 759 (Beccles) Squadron. This is the highest Rank you can achieve in the Air Training Corps, and is a very rare one too, especially at such a young age. Each Wing are given a limited number of places for CWO and we are glad Hannah was lucky enough to receive one. 

After an Interview with Wing Commander David Miller MBE, Officer Commanding Norfolk and Suffolk Wing on the 9th September, which was originally supposed to be with our previous Wing Sector Officer - Squadron Leader Neil Ovenden. But unfortunately was cancelled due to now being Officer Commanding Regional Small Arms Training Team, he was whisked away on a shooting weekend and would not be able to do it.  Sir Came in that Friday evening and completed Hannah's interview, which she passed with flying colours and only had to wait for her paperwork to be passed after her Birthday in late October. All the Wing Commander said to her was "I didn't really need to do the interview, but protocol said I had to due to regulations. If it was up to me I wouldn't have bothered, I know you too well now!" 

We are very proud of her, and all she has done in her Air Cadet Career so far in the 5 years she's been in. She plans to stay until she ages out at 20 in October 2018. We wish her the best of luck for the next two years and hope to see more of her fantastic achievements along the way.
