Junior Cadet
Until
you have attended 2200 (Oldham) Squadron for
approximately 4 weeks you will be a probationary cadet.
If, after this time, you have attended regularly and
punctually and your behaviour has been exceptional, you will
be enrolled. This is when you make your ATC promise, and are
formally accepted into the Air Training Corps.
Once you have been enrolled you
will receive your RAF 3822; this is your Record of Service
Book and Identification. You must have your RAF 3822 on you at
all times when on ATC duty, and you should also ensure that it
is kept up to date. After enrolment you will become a Second
Class Cadet
As a new member of 2200 (Oldham)
Squadron your first challenge is to complete basic training
and pass the First Class exam. During basic training you will
be in a class room along with all other probationary and
second class cadets, and will learn subjects that will assist
you immensely during your ATC career. The First Class exam
consists of seven parts, split into two sections. The first
section consists of:
- Drill
- The Air Training Corps
These are classed as internal assessments,
and are taken after each subject has been completed. The
second section consists of:
- Communications
- Initial Expedition Training
- Basic Navigation
- RAF History
- Airmanship
The second section is also classed as an
internal assessments and is sat under the watchful eye of
the squadron's Training Officer. If you succeed in passing all
your assessments, you will become a First Class Cadet.
