cadets do things there. Im told it was a

In July the honours kept coming and at a
ceremony held at Liverpool Town Hall,
Jordan was given the very prestigious
award of Lord Lieutenants Cadet. To our

that all at the Squadron were incredibly
proud.

years and has achieved a huge amount
over that time, These experiences have
gone some way to helping him with his
career goal of becoming a Pilot with Her
Majesties Royal Navy.

Jordan is due to leave 90 Sqn and the ATC at the
end of August, he will then head off to Dartmouth for
Helicopter pilot training with the Navy.
Jordan had this message for Cadets and staff:
After 5 years, it's with great regret that I leave 90.
Without a doubt, my time here has developed me
into an individual I never thought I'd become, and I
hope I've helped ensure that when your time comes
to leave, you think the same of yourself. Although I
haven't been as present as I'd have liked to have
been these past few weeks, I still wish you all the
best of luck and that you knock FTD out the park! As
and when I can I'll visit and hope to see many of you
still here driving the Sqn forward. I hope I've inspired
at least some of you; each and every one of you has
inspired me. It's been a pleasure
Best of luck for the future Jordan!

New First Aiders!

Grayson H, attain their Red First
