Tips to become NCO

I would really like to be an NCO, and I’ll probably apply for the next promotions or I’ll do it next year. Idk yet. I’ve only been in 10 months now, so I know I’m not ready for it yet, but I would like to prepare. How to you write a good promotion letter? Is there anything I need to know before applying? I’ve been told to work on my confidence, how would I do that? I have first class, EFA, blue comms/radio, blue wings and I’m halfway to getting my blue leadership. I’m going on a camp soon, and I always try to bid for everything I can. Is there anything I can improve on?

Hate comments?

Hey, it’s me again. Again, I’m asking if I should report some things to staff. A guy from my squadron has been giving me a hard time. He’s been calling me the T slur (I’m ftm) and overall just being horrible towards me because I’m trans. He’s also been really homophobic towards my friends and calling them the F slur. Another guy in my squadron has been telling my friend she’s not Indian enough and it’s starting to upset her. Would it be the right thing to do, or should we just deal with it privately? It’s happened on squadron, if that needs to of happened. Me and my friend have discussed and we still don’t know if we should report. TIA.

Two people on a camp together that shouldn’t be, what do I do?

Hey, so basically let me explain the backstory behind this first. I did my DofE Bronze Practice Exped back in May and it was me and 5 other cadets. Two of the cadets are a couple. I think you might see what I’m alluding to already. Basically on the walk the whole time, they kept touching eachother inappropriately and kissing and making very sexual jokes the whole time. Basically the guy, let’s call him C, said he and the 2 other guys couldn’t all fit in the tent together, so he got a tent all to himself. At around 10:30-11:00pm at night the girl, let’s call her I, snuck into his tent. You can probably guess what happened, as I was the unfortunate person who heard it all. Basically, a few days after I couldn’t stand it anymore and me and two friends told our Plt Off, There were sanctions issued (suspension+warnings for both) and it was said they aren’t allowed near each other at cadets or on activities. This includes camps. They have both been selected for the same camp, even though they’re not supposed to be. What do I do? Do I tell staff? I just don’t want it to look like I’m creating problems because it is known that I don’t like them.

TL;DR - Couple did things on DofE, not supposed to be on the same activities, put on a camp together and I don’t know if i should tell staff or not. TIA.

Making friends on a camp

Hey guys, I just got selected for RAF Shawbury annual camp and I’m kind of nervous as I get a little bit of anxiety around new people and I’m just wondering does anybody have any tips on how to get more confidence and make friends? It’s my first camp and nobody but me from my squadron is going.

TIA
