RAF Gibraltar Station Commander, Wing Commander Annella Doherty MBE MA MBA BSc visited No. 2 Overseas (Gibraltar) Sqn on Thursday to present the cadets who took part in the recent Freedom of the City Parade with a certificate to mark their involvement in the parade.
“The Freedom of the City Parade was a great honour for The Royal Air Force and this fact wasn’t lost on the cadets that took part” Flt Lt Ivan Caward said “each and every cadet that took part went the extra mile to ensure that they were ready for the parade, putting in many extra hours to perfect their drill and uniform. As a reminder of the day and to acknowledge their participation it was deemed fit to present them with a certificate.”
During the evening certificates were presented to cadets that had recently completed a Junior NCO course and Cadet Corporal Seth Jessop was promoted to the rank of Sergeant and Cadet Sergeant Michael Jarman was promoted to the rank of Flight Sergeant.
“It’s wonderful to see the squadron doing so well, the cadets performed impeccably during the parade. It’s always a great pleasure to be asked to promote someone, whether it be a cadet or serving member of the Air Force” added Wg Cdr Doherty.
