Sgt Jake CloverRAF Air Traffic Controller Being a cadet at 1334sqn prepared me perfectly for basic training and my army career. Whilst at basic training I qualified as a marksman and on Pass Out I was awarded; Best Drill, Soldiers’ Soldier and Best overall recruit, all because of the skills and experiences I gained through 1334sqn.
