Well done to the 13 cadets who undertook course passed the practical assessment in RAFAC basic radio operator course, esp. those that got their first significant badge (other than than the 1368 Sqn).

Well done to the  Leam Spa parade contingent on Sunday. Personal thanks for effort put into uniforms and drill practice. You looked amazingly good on the day. Special mention to Cdt K who was 1st time Wreath layer, and Cpl B, 1st time Banner bearer on a remembrance parade. This year we had 20 cadets at Warwick and 25 cadets at Leamington, one less than last couple of years but still a pretty good number for a single Sqn. 

This year saw 1368 Sqn continue to split Squadron across both Warwick and Leamington Spa parades concurrently. Really well done to Warwick contingent (which we fixed at 20 due to staff ratios) and special mention to first time Wreath layer, Cdt F. 

Well done to team supporting the revived concert in Leamington Spa on Sat evening. A really strong group who didn't need any encouragement to volunteer and turned up immaculately presented. Duty included a ceremony building a drum head, presenting the banner, escorting in dignitaries, a guard of honour, and a reading. Somber at times but also some fun, including run rabbit run singalong and the impromptu competition with Sea Cadets on the opposite top row as to who could get most engaged in the 40's sing along.

This training which was delivered over a weekend includes a practical assessment, is valid for 3-years. Great step up in our training to get 19 cadets through. First Aid is an important part of what is a quite rich and varied training programme that the RAF Air Cadets offers to young people. YFA gives them a Bronze Level badge and can be done before they are 16 years old. As well as a useful life skill, it plays an important role in preparing them to be self-sufficient when they do things like Duke of Edinburgh Award expeditions.

Team looking very pro on this community duty in new 1368/Lion's donated High Vis. Great to see new faces incl. some 0924 intake. The force awakens. It didn't rain. Bonfire got lit (eventually) and lots of thanks for Sgt J who built a little rapport with catering vans (who to be fair were very generous and much appreciated).
