Well done Sgt Reed on passing your MOI assesmemt this evening. This now means that Sgt Reed has completed all of her lessons and is an Instructor Cadet, meaning she can teach the cadet syllabus to the cadets. Well done. #whatwedo #aircadets #1861 #airtrainingcorps #rafac #royalairforceaircadets
Tonight the cadets went to freedog! To let off some steam as we come to the end of the year.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young. Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. They mingle not with their laughing comrades again; They sit no more at familiar tables of home; They have no lot in our labour of the day-time; They sleep beyond England's foam.
After a long weekend both sgt Stamp and Sgt Winship both completed their second Airborne march in Arnhem. Doing 15km and 10km. Here are a few photos from the trip. It involved 2 museum trips on the friday and a trip to the bridge. Then followed by a trip to the cemetory where over 1000 men are burried. Where they paid there respects by laying a wreath. On the saturday they then completed the march along with 32,809 other people from all over the world. If intrested the dates for next year will be 5th to the 8th september 2019.
So today we had Sgt Stamp represent the wing at region athletics. With his class (B) Boys winning against the other regions. Well done boys. Great effort and a successful day out.
Tonight we had a go at camouflage and concealment. #aircadets #whatwedo #fieldcraft
