KRYSTEEN ORMOND NAMED GOVERNOR’S CADET
By J. Brock (FINN)
Following on from H. E. the Governor Mr. Pearce’s announcement at the Sea Cadet’s annual inspection in October, Commodore Roger Parker RNR, confirmed by letter that Krysteen Ormond has been singled out to receive the honour for a year. At the regular weekly meeting of the Stanley Sea Cadets "T/S Endurance" H. E. the Governor Mr Pearce presented the award.
"I know that it was really quite a difficult decision to make because there are experienced and very talented members of the Sea Cadets, he said prior to presenting the award in front of Krysteen’s parents, and the other Sea Cadets.
Krysteen joined the unit on the 2nd of February 2000 and became a cadet on the 20th of February that year. And, she was promoted, then to Ordinary Cadet on the 2nd of February 2001, Able Cadet on the 9th of March 2002 and Leading Cadet on the 10th of March 2003. A step forward every year. She gained her qualifications in Sailing, Cook-steward, Electrical, Writer/Stores, Seamanship and Swimming. Krysteen is also a very valuable member of the Sea Cadets.
As the first in the post, Krysteen will serve less than a year because she is due to go to school in the UK next September. During her stint as Governor’s Cadet, she will be joining him on a number of occasions throughout the year, the first of which will be the Battle day ceremony on the 8th of December.
