CADETS ARE RADIOACTIVE!
Two Sunderland air cadets are transmitting there way to the top by obtaining the prestigious Communicators badge.
Cadet Sergeant James Yeo, 17 and Corporal Stephen Leonard, 16 of 111 Sunderland Squadron were put through their paces during a five stage-training program to gain the award.
The award, which requires cadets to pass exams on subjects such as Satellite communications and advanced radio and radar, is only held by a small number of cadets in the area.
Sgt Yeo, a pupil at St. Roberts of Newminster Sixth form, has been asked to join Durham and Northumberland Wing radio training team after achieving top marks on the exams. He said: “I’m pleased to have passed but now I’m really looking forward to teaching other cadets how pass too”.
