Cadet Sergeant Anthony Rigby recently attended the Junior Leaders assessment weekend at the Army training area in Thetford, Norfolk . In what proved to be a very testing weekend for all, Sgt Rigby was selected to go forward on to the full course starting at the end of September.

All the cadets who attended had four specific areas in which they had show their competencies, they were:

• Physical
• Leadership Skills
• Presentation Skills
• Interview with Section Officer

Sgt Rigby succeeded in all aspects and he is now looking forward to travelling to Skipton in North Yorkshire later in September to start the eight month course that will hopefully lead him to become a Junior Leader.

Flt Lt O'Neill, OC 487 Sqn commented “This is a great effort by Sgt Rigby. He had wanted to attend this course for a long time and all at the Sqn are extremely happy that he's got through the assessment weekend, we wish him all the best for the rest of the course.”
