Alora and Jayden win RSL awards
TWO local defence force cadets were recognised for their hard work with an RSL award recently.
Alora Thomas and Jayden Walton were named this year's winners of the annual most improved cadet award from the Airlie Beach/ Whitsunday RSL sub-branch.
The award, which goes to an air force cadet and a navy cadet each year, recognises youngsters for what they do in the cadets, as well as improving their personal knowledge and dressing well and displaying manners.
Alora received the award from the Training Ship Pioneer (Whitsunday) Royal Australian Navy Cadets, while Jayden was the recipient from the 110 Squadron Whitsunday Australian Air Force Cadets.
Both winners were pleased to receive the award.
"I'm really happy about it," Alora said. "I've worked really hard to earn this."
Jayden said his win was "surprising".
"There's a lot of other better cadets," he said.
