Congratulations to all involved and Good Luck to our fabulous teams!

In recognition of some cadets' outstanding performance, ability, enthusiasm and leadership over the last few months they have been promoted. For some, this is the first step on the ladder of rank and responsibility. Regardless of what tier it is, each promotion is an enormous achievement and should not be taken lightly. Promotions are something that are worked incredibly hard for and are never handed out without consideration:

‘Those cadets who have been newly promoted on a John Warner training weekend are those who have shown their ability to lead and problem solve, in particular newly appointed CSM (Company Sergeant Major) Griggs who is a role model to all that cadets showing where dedication and hard work can get you.’ (Current Head Cadet, RSM D Whitelegg)

An enormous congratulations to all those promoted, as below.
