The TEAM!

The cadet team forming this year’s Wing Adventure Training Day (WATD) enjoyed a great couple of days at our local training area. The training consisted of simulating the WATD style events that will be experienced over the weekend. WATD is an event where all 30 units within Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire meet at a RAF station to complete in various teamwork and leadership activities/exercises. Over the previous years, the squadron has maintained a steady success rate both in the Field Day and Drill Competitions placing. This year is no exception and from the teamwork and leadership skills learned throughout this years training, all the cadets in the team are aiming high.
