Promotion!

So I Just Got Promoted To Corporal After 3 Years And 8 Months As A Cadet In The Air Training Corps! Pretty Cool, Huh? Last Night Was My First Full Night As NCO 2I/C Number One Flight. For Those Of You Who Haven't Been Assaulted By The Military's Strange Custom Of Acronym-ising Everything, That's Non-Commisioned Officer Second In Command Number One Flight. Which, In Plain[er] English, Means That I'm A Corporal And I'm The Second In Command Of One Of The Two Flights We Have On Squadron. (I'll Do A Seperate Blog On The Flights System, But For Now We Call Them Red And Yellow Flight Respectively).

My Duties On Squadron Last Night Included Organizing First Parade, Giving Out And Checking Jobs, Running Sport, And Doing Security Checks At The End Of The Night.


The Squadron Website, For Those Who Are Interested, Is www.298atc.org, And There's Information On There As Well As A Forum.
