27 Cadets and 9 Instructors from
Cambridgeshire and Suffolk ACF took part in the week long
course which started on Easter Sunday. Following on from the
Radio Users Course this is more in-depth and demanding.
Voice procedure, line equipment (telephone and exchanges),
battle code (BATCO), putting up masts and antenna and some
basic electrical theory are all part of the course. There is
a good mix of classroom and practical work and although this
is a challenging course all the cadets thoroughly enjoyed
it. The week finished with a mast competition with 4 teams
battling it out to put up a mast in the fastest time while
ensuing safety procedures are adhered to. On the final
parade prizes were presented, the best cadet cup went to Cdt
Lauren Stevenson of Talavera Detachment. The cadets were
also presented with their certificate and X Flag badges, all
presentations were made by Lt. Colonel Jackie Allen, TD the
Deputy Chief Executive of East Anglia RFCA. All the cadets
also went away with; yes you guessed it, an Easter egg!
The cadets and instructors would
like to thank Chef David Miller and Kitchen Porter Tracy
McLaughlin for the amount of choice, high standard of food
and the excellent service they provided. Having also enjoyed
their time with us they have decided to come on board as
Instructors.
