Dec 212013
 

Sergeants Calum Roberton and Chris Symonds were promoted to the rank of Adult Flight Sergeant on the Squadron on Fri 20 Dec 13.  Both have served four years as Sergeants and have put in a lot of hard work to reach the rank of Adult Flight Sergeant.

In order to qualify for promotion, in addition to their normal Squadron duties, staff must attend a number of different courses, attend Annual Camps at RAF stations, attend a greens camp, help organise activities at Wing level as well as obtaining a qualification within the ATC such as a Basic Expedition Leaders Award or Shooting qualification.

 

Congratulations to FS Roberton and FS Symonds.
