1938 Salford City & Eccles Squadron

1938 Salford City & Eccles Squadron Welcome to 1938 Squadron Air Cadet's page. Here you can learn about what we do and hopefully become a part of our squadron.

We offer many fun and exciting opportunities such as flying, gliding, adventure training, Duke of Edinburgh Award, visits to RAF stations, sports and much much more! We do not directly recruit for the Royal Air Force but we are an integral part of it, providing exceptional training that is recognised by the RAF if a cadet strived for a career in the military forces. The transferable skills you can

learn will also help you in many civilian jobs and also in day to day situations. Parade nights are Mondays & Wednesdays from 19:00-21:30. For more information you can contact us @
[email protected] leave us a Facebook message or call us on 0161 787 8564 and leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We hope to see you soon at 1938 squadron where you can take hold of the spectacular opportunities you won't find anywhere else!

Tonight our Cadets were out observing the Solar Eclipse before the start of our activities tonight. With thanks to Flying Officer Lee who spent time today to make DIY viewers that the Cadets used to great effect.

Leadership isn't about rank. It's about taking responsibility, supporting others and leading by example.

Every day across North Region, cadets are given opportunities to step outside their comfort zone. Whether they're organising activities, mentoring younger cadets or leading a team exercise, they're developing skills that will stay with them long after they leave the organisation.

These are the experiences that build confidence for school, university, employment and everyday life.

What leadership lesson has RAFAC taught you?

During last nights parade, members of our Recruit Flight undertook their first qualification as members of the Air Cadets.

They were taught basic lifesaving skills through the Essential First Aid Course. This focused on conducting a primary survey on a casualty, recognising and being able to treat signs of a heart attack, the recovery position, CPR, choking and how to deal with a bleed.

These are basic skills that our recruits can use in their own life and expand on in future courses.

Well done to the nine Cadets who undertook the training.

With thanks to the Lanes Group who donated the three CPR manikins that were used in last nights training.
