Ageing out

I have been struggling with my mental health for a while now and cadets had been the reason I have been getting better. There was specifically one person who felt safe and would always listen to me when I had a bad day. She is still 19 but she left squadron and I don’t quite understand why. I think it was something to do with wing and spending 6 months in another squadron but she was meant to stay until she turned 20 and she would either have to become staff or leave but then she just left all of a sudden and I don’t quite understand what’s going on. This has hit me personally quite hard and I think it would help if I understood why so if anyone can help me to understand I would really appreciate it. Thank you

I assuming you are also a cadet if so how old are you? Do you have anybody else on the squadron you speak to? The reason exactly why this cadet left good be many reasons and you can ask your oc but there is also a chance you won’t get an answer. Really only true way to find out is by asking her herself.

In terms of your mental health without going in to detail what is it exactly you are struggling with currently and feel you need support with and I can direct you towards some help.
