Join 136

As a Cadet

Are you interested in joining 136 (Chipping Norton) RAF Air Cadets Squadron as a Cadet?

We hold two Information and Open Evenings a year (February and September) to allow new cadets to join us and get started on their journey. During these evenings, we demonstrate the activities and experiences which Cadets can get and we explain what being a Cadet means for the young person and the family.

Our Information and Open Evenings are advertised through our social media platforms and our Newsletter. If you would like to be updated about our next one, fill in the Newsletter Subscription form and we will keep you informed.

Have a look through this page, and around the site, to see what Cadet life is like and what the conditions of joining the RAF Air Cadets are.

136 Sqn Testimonials

I’ve Done Things I Thought I Never Would

Being a Cadet with Chipping Norton Squadron has allowed me to experience things I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. I've been flying, gliding and I took part in the 11/11 [Remembrance Day] march in 2019. I have made loads of friends and I really enjoy parade nights.

The Squadron Has Been There Through Lockdown

It has been difficult being a Cadet during lockdown, but I have been able to parade every week and make sure I am learning things to develop my classification and knowledge. It has been a challenge for the staff but they have been good at trying to keep everyone focused.

Supporting Cadets in Challenging Times

It has been a very challenging year for our Cadets, with school and life being put on hold at times and then being re-started. As a Squadron Staff Team, we have made it our priority to support our Cadets through our Virtual Parade Nights. This means we can give them a safe space to talk and share how they are managing with everything. Cadets have also been provided a continued structure to allow them some form of stability in an ever-changing world. They have responded well and we are proud of them.
