Congratulations to Staff Sergeants (SSgts), Shakespeare, Knights, and Peebles on their recent promotions.
The students all joined Cadets in Year 9 and right from the start they took on leadership and mentoring roles within the Contingent.
SStg Peebles missed a year because of his accident, which also resulted in him making the decision to repeat Year 12.
It is unusual for a small contingent like ours to have three SSgts, but Capt Mayhew, Contingent Commander, and myself both agreed they all deserved the promotion. SSgt Shakespeare was promoted first, having ticked more boxes in the required syllabus, followed by SSgts Knights and Peebles. Although only one can be promoted to Warrant Officer/Cdt CSM, the decision will be made between the three students, as we agree the split of roles and responsibilities.
