NCO TEAM
The Squadron NCO
team is the lynch-pin of the unit. Nothing happens without their input
or hard work.
Young people are rarely given such responsibility at a young age. The
Squadron NCO team (ranging from 15 to 19 years old) are responsible for
assisting to run the unit every parade night.
Typically their duties involve:
-
Formation of the unit assembly
and dismissal parade
-
Discipline, dress and
deportment of the cadets
-
Management of a duty "shift"
-
Motivation, morale and welfare
of the cadets
-
Taking of the unit fire
registers
-
Updating the unit attendance
register
-
Health and safety check
-
Allocating cadets to the unit
cleaning rota
-
Check the cadets cleaning of
the building
-
Security of the unit, it's
personnel and belongings
-
Immediate action in the event
of a fire or fire drill
-
Management of a flight or
section
-
Instructing cadets in correct
foot and marching drill
-
Advising adult staff of any
potential problems or issues
The list is long and the work hard. Some non-NCO's see the role as
glamorous and easy. That could not be further from the truth.
Being an NCO involves a lot of hard work and dedication to the unit.
It is not an easy ride being an NCO, but it does attract certain privileges. |
