Promotions are a major thing within the Air Training Corps (ATC). Promotions mean you get to experience behind the scenes within the 1192 Squadron. They are usually promotions to a higher rank. (See on a different page). You will get more power as you progress further in the hierarchy after showing that you are responsible, respectful, mature and many other things required for you to progress. As you try to progress you will definately notice an improvement in yourself, and how to treat others. Using promotions you will learn dozens of useful, helpful skills that will not only benefit your time in the ATC, your chances of joining the RAF, and just your regular, day-to-day life in general.
There are no formal rules about exactly what is required for each level of promotion, only guidelines. So, for those of you who are looking for promotion in the future, here are the type of things the Comanding Officer is looking for in an NCO. Follow these guidelines and you could be on your way to getting those stripes!
