TRADE TRAINING
Once recruits
have passed out of basic training they may elect to join a trade training
group, similar to the Royal Air Force.
Trade training (more commonly called 'projects' on other units) enables a
cadet to specialise in a particular area that they have interest in.
These small groups work closely together to further their own skill and
training. Cadets may change groups to sample other aspects of the unit.
ELECTRONICS

circuits, how to solder, building circuits and all things electronic.
Cadets perform simple repair jobs and support the simulator project in
the construction of required electronics items. |
