ATC Awards
I've been an ATC instructor since 1975. In that time I served 25 years in uniform (ATC WO then commissioned). I was awarded a Cadet Forces Medal, followed by a Bar. Since then, nothing. I'm not complaining. Like many others I do it to help the kids realise their ambitions, be it in the services or the outside. The real reward comes when an ex-cadet comes back and starts off with 'I really enjoyed my time here...;
Maybe I'm old fashioned - I just find that much more rewarding than anything else.....
Happy New Year to all the other hard-working CI's and uniformed staff out there.
Cheers
Bob
PS,
My late father did 25 years as a JP, as well 50 years as a football referee, and then as an assessor. Anyone like to guess what he got for all that???
