Cadet Lance Corporal Joseph Long will attend the Princess Royal's Young Achievers Reception in March at the Palace, for his contribution through first aid.
During the Cadets Annual Camp in Okehampton last year, Joseph displayed the very best first aid actions to assist his friend and fellow Cadet who, unbeknown to Joseph at the time, was suffering from a stroke whilst taking part in Adventurous Training.

OC agrees to complete 75 challenges set by her cadets!
|
|
|
Flt Lt Houghton has agreed to complete 75 challenges of her cadets choosing, to commemorate the Air Training Corps 75th Anniversary.
There could be some interesting times ahead for Miss Houghton, knowing the cheeky personalities amongst the group!
Officer in Command Flt Lt Paula Houghton, of Stowmarket 1331 Squadron, has also asked the cadets to come up with challenges they can do, which must have something to do with the number 75.
Flt Lt Houghton said that “the target for all of us is to raise £7,500”. The cadets have a year to complete the challenges.
