It was a dream come true for us as well as these are the moments we live for. The cherry on top for the day was when I met some parents of the cadets for the first time, and they gave me raving feedback about the quality of our training and how grateful they were for the extra mile we do for their sons/daughters …truly, there are no words to describe how heartwarming this is for the instructors, mechanics and staff who endeavour to give 101% each day“.
