A Cadet since February 2014, RSM Jack has climbed through the ranks and most recently completed his Master Cadet, the highest level in the cadet Army Proficiency Syllabus.
Tristan has taken up every opportunity offered to him by the Army Cadets, including representing the Army Cadet Force in Canada last summer as part of an International Cadet Exchange Programme.
