Lock in for the grand finale of SQUAD!


In the final instalment of this series, we look back at lots of the amazing military teens we’ve met from the last 7 episodes.


With the help of 2 experts – Louise Fetigan, the Founder of Little Troopers and Tamzin Messeter, Educational Psychologist  - we recap the chat, explore recurring themes and unpack some of the experiences shared by SQUAD’s military teens. 


From school-work struggles to trauma triggers, we’ll listen back to key moments from the series and offer up some helpful advice and expert insight.


It’s the perfect way to end - a celebration of the realities of your teenage military life; the highs, the lows and everything in between. Thank you for listening to SQUAD – continue to be amazing.

Ready for the seventh episode of SQUAD?!


Join our presenters Katie Thistleton and Thom Smith as they meet Madison and Ella; two teens who have finished their A Levels and are getting ready to adult.


Despite being besties, the pair have one big difference – Madison has grown-up in a forces family whereas Ella’s a total civvie! Together they explore how this has changed their teenage years– from school and A Levels, to UCAS applications and gap year goals.

SQUAD is back and this time we’re talking about school!


We all have to go to school, but it can be particularly hard if you have parents serving in the British Armed Forces. It might mean you’ve been to lots of different schools – maybe even in a different country! – or you might attend a boarding school or go to a civilian school where there aren’t many other military children.


Listen as our presenters Katie Thistleton and Thom Smith chat to this episode’s special guests – military teens Cloe, Kieran, and Cadence. 


Together they discuss their very different schooling circumstances, explore how being from a military family impacts their academic experience and share lots of advice on surviving term-time.

We’re back for the fifth episode of SQUAD and this time we’re doing something a little different…


Military life can be something of a mystery to civilians, with lots of burning questions and curiosities often unanswered - how many times have you moved, what’s your military house like and what does your serving parent do at work?


Our presenters Katie Thistleton and Thom Smith scoured the country to find a military teenager who was willing to record an audio diary and share their life with us, giving listeners a taste of Forces life and answering these questions and more.


In this episode we meet Dominic, a teenager from an RAF family who was only too happy to help. Listen as we step into his life in Scotland - visiting his home, his school and his favourite hang-out spots.


We’ll be back in the studio like normal for the next episode, so follow and subscribe to SQUAD on your usual platform so you don’t miss it!

Welcome to forth episode of SQUAD! This time we’re chatting about mates, buddies and BFFLs – whatever you want to call them, friendships can be a wonderful but tricky thing when you’re from a military family. 


Joining our presenters Katie Thistleton and Thom Smith are three military teens - Alfie, Daisy and Charlotte. Together they chat about having to make new mates, leaving friends behind and keeping in touch. 


The group share their own experiences, give great advice and as always have a good old giggle.
