Former Ashburton Cadet's Regular Army Success

A former Ashburton Cadet has gone from strength to strength since leaving Devon ACF, firstly by successfully completing the arduous 'Phase 1' training at AFC Harrogate, before beginning the 'Phase 2' trade training at the Infantry Training Centre (ITC) at Catterick Garrison.

Tomas joined the ACF in 2018, and according to his former Detachment Commander, Second Lieutenant Maher, he was an outstanding cadet who showed dedication and diligence in everything he did.

As a mark of his excellence, Tomas was quickly promoted to the rank of Cadet Lance Corporal, however his Army Cadet career was cut short to enable him to attend the AFC and begin what we all hope will be a long and successful career in Her Majesty's service.

Despite being with Devon ACF only for a respectively short while, Tomas achieved a huge amount, and was very lucky to receive a personal visit from the ACF National Champion, Phil Campion, at Tomas' family home.

A hearty congratulations and a massive well done to Tomas from all of us here at Devon ACF, and we very much look forward to welcoming you back in due course as a service helper!
