 To become an Adult Senior NCO in the
Air Cadets you generally first join as a Civilian Instructor. After a year,
you will be eligible to undergo the selection and interview procedures. All
being well, a few months later, you will then go into uniform as an Adult
Sergeant.
When you get your Sergeant's rank tapes you will also be given an RAF uniform
and will wear ATC (Air Training Corps) on your shoulder. When appointed you
will be expected to attend the Senior Non Commissioned Officers' Staff
Initial Course (SSIC) at RAF College Cranwell, Lincolnshire.
You will be expected to give a minimum of 12 hours of your time per month for
Air Cadet duties and will normally attend a squadron twice a week normally between
7-9pm.
Your squadron duties include becoming involved in literally every aspect of
Air Cadet activity from parade nights to adventure training and seven major
sports to radio communications, shooting, Duke of Edinburgh's Awards, bands
and the respected academic syllabus.
Along the way you will help young people aged 13-20 to learn and to become
good citizens but you will also develop your leadership skills and have the
opportunity to pick up qualifications in mountain leadership, First Aid, NVQs
and attend a number of courses. You may also be promoted to Adult Flight
Sergeant and perhaps later to Adult Warrant Officer.
Rest assured wearing a uniform is a non-combatant role and does not mean you
can be deployed to a war zone - your role is to train the Next Generation of
air cadets!
You may be entitled to 28 days pay per year.
The rewards from organising
activities for the cadets and seeing them develop as a result of the work
done by you and the rest of the staff team are immense
