Recently our Officer in Charge attended a National Officer Selection board held at the Sea Cadet Training Centre Inskip in Preston.

This board is designed to put adult members of staff under some degree of pressure and to assess their management, communication & leadership skills.

Evolutions across the weekend included practical leadership tasks, table-top exercises both as individuals and as part of a team, written exercises & a social event in the evening with the board members.

Chief Petty Officer Debbie Paterson was one of 3 members from Northern Area to attend this board.

Having successfully proved the high level of ability required Chief Petty Officer Debbie Paterson passed the board and was promoted to the rank of Sub-Lieutenant with immediate effect.


Congratulations Debbie.
