To become an Adult Sergeant in the Air Cadets you generally first join as a Civilian Instructor and after 6 - 12 months service you can apply to your Commanding Officer.
On appointment, you will wear Royal Air Force uniform and wear ‘ATC’ titles on your rank slides. In your first year, you will be expected to attend the Senior Non-Commissioned Officers’ Staff Initial Course (SSIC) at the Royal Air Force College, Cranwell.
You will be expected to give a minimum of 12 hours of your time per month for Air Cadet duties and will normally attend your Squadron twice weekly.
Your Squadron duties include becoming involved in literally every aspect of ATC life from parade nights to adventure training weekends.
Along the way, you will help young people aged 13 - 20 to learn and to become good citizens, whilst you develop your own leadership skills.
You will also have the opportunity to gain qualifications such as first aid, mountain leadership and NVQ’s. You may be entitled to claim up to 28 days pay per year.
