It is with great pride that we would like to announce the promotion of Eric Roche to the rank of Warrant Officer 2nd Class (WO2) as of April 20th, 2020!

WO2 Roche has been a loyal member of 540 Golden Hawks Squadron and an Air Cadet for the past 6 years. He has attended several Summer Training Courses during that time, with the crowning achievement of obtaining his Glider Pilot Wings in the Summer of 2019. He was also the Top Cadet on the Glider Pilot Scholarship course, earning him the prestigious Air Force Association medal to recognize his hard work and skill!

WO2 Roche will take his place with the Warrant Officer Team and assist with the planning work involved over the next few months for the 2020-2021 training year.

We are confident that you will all join us in sending a huge CONGRATULATIONS to WO2 Roche!

Well deserved #540Proud
