VGS Officers do the same curse as ATC Sqn. The CCF course is also 1 week, but is often held seperately, due to a slightly differing content. However, mixed ATC/CCF courses do take place.

Get the 5s anyhow, and get them ranked/badged etc. You may find that your paperwork drops in time. You're bound to get wear out of them over the years either way.

Not an issue

You won't.

You will have 633 Sqn & 633 VGS.

However, the 'S' in VGS is now Squadron, and not School.

VGS are 'Volunteer Gliding Squadrons', not 'Squadrons'.

Simple eh?
