On 10th February 2025, we had the absolute pleasure of awarding Lt Cdr (SCC) Spink RNR his 4th clasp to the Cadet Forces Medal, marking an incredible 36 years of dedicated adult volunteer service within the Sea Cadets.

This milestone is a true testament to Lt Cdr Spink’s unwavering commitment, leadership, and continued passion for shaping the lives of young people through the Corps. Each clasp represents six additional years of service beyond the initial twelve required for the medal – a rare achievement and one that speaks volumes of his legacy.

👏👏 Congratulations, Sir – and here’s to many more years of service and inspiration!
