This week, cadets from Norfolk & Suffolk Wing joined the Sea Cadets on a joint cadet forces training week. This was the first course at this level between two Cadet Forces and it was a great success, even with the friendly rivalry that was to be expected!
We are pleased to confirm that Sgt’s Staight, Dowen and Amery along with Cpl Dunachie and Cdt Budd all completed their GCHQ CyberFirst Advanced course and were awarded with their gold cyber awards and the level 6 CyberFirst award.
The course was held at Sea Cadet Training Centre Excellent where there was a mixture of theory and practical based learning about penetration testing, encryption, digital forensics, open-source intelligence and ethical hacking.
Whilst challenging, the course was extremely interesting, and by doing it jointly with another uniformed cadet force, there were plenty of common ground and differences to bond over, like shoe polishing techniques and drill!
The cadets received fantastic feedback from the Sea Cadet staff, upheld the Air Cadet RISE values and were constantly praised by both the CyberFirst and SCC staff. It was commented that the team fantastic ambassadors for the Corps.
