How amazing is this first aid story? Congratulations, Chloe!
On Thursday 23rd January, Cdt Chloe French was presented with a Regional Commandants Commendation for her actions while performing first aid at school. We could not be prouder of Cdt French and how she put her skills into practice without hesitation. ⭐️ Well done Chloe 👏👏👏👏

The @AirCadets is an amazing organisation developing leadership skills, discipline & aviation knowledge in 50k+ youngsters. All led & enabled by a small team in the HQ at RAF Cranwell. It was fascinating to meet them & hear what they have achieved & their future opportunities.
