2026 Sector 4 Junior NCO Course! 📖🤔

Last weekend, Corporal Fratila went on his Junior NCO Course and completed his stage of training development as a JNCO Rank. We also had assistance from Flight Sergeant Sprigg to help DS and deliver some activities during the duration of the course.

Well done to both and their commitment to development as an NCO at 223 Halesowen Squadron.

The Sea Cadets, Army Cadets UK, Royal Air Force Air Cadets, and Cadets In Schools help to give young people a real advantage in education and work.

A 2021 study by the University of Northampton found that Cadets develop key communication, teamwork and leadership skills and become more confident and resilient, setting them up for future success.

And under a new ‘30 by 30’ campaign launched last year, the Government has ambitious plans to expand Cadet opportunities for a new generation of young people.
