The Wing Training Team delivered the first of this year’s
cadet development courses during the weekend. The aim of the course is to
provide cadets with the necessary information, instruction and training to
enable them to become effective Junior Non-Commissioned Officers (JNCO).
The course covered aspects such as the role of the JNCO;
discipline; drill; dress regulations; leadership; leadership styles; getting
things done, and effective communication. It was delivered with a range of lectures, leadership
exercises and group discussions.
Cdt Wheeler was appointed the course leader on the first
evening because he was the first to speak, which is not unusual for him. He performed
very well during his tasks and used by the course commanders as an exemplar during
the leadership exercises.
Part of his job was to ensure that the course arrived and
kept to time, he found this easier during the lectures by was too frightened of
WO Burbridge to glance at his watch whilst doing drill; however, he managed to
keep the drill assessments to ten minute periods.
Cdt Wheeler was delighted to be given the award for the
most outstanding cadet, and enjoyed his ten minutes in the sun being instructed
on sword drill with WO Burbridge.
