Being able to use and adapt our instructional techniques is critical. Remote learning and virtual based interaction is the future. From the revolution of marksmanship since the Crimea, to digitising marksmanship training in the 21st Century. #since1853

Soldiers from all Arms and Services are welcome to apply to the SASC. In fact, without the diversity of capbadges within the Corps we wouldn't be able to coach, mentor and advise across all areas of Defence. Interested in a rewarding career change? Get in touch. #since1853

My grandfather was a great man. He’d have dismissed the comment if he heard me say it! He was QMSI Kermode in the Small Arms School Corps and served in WWII. He was known for his limericks and on my 7th bday he wrote me this. I have treasured it ever since & know it by heart ♥️

This board is in the Yeoman Warders Club, 'The Keys". The plaques represent each of the Yeoman Warders and has our cap-badge, rank, name and dates of service. In my case, Small Arms School Corps 1979-2005 (although I did not join the SASC until 1988). Sadly there will soon be only 30 😔

These characters have formed the nucleus of what the SASC and marksmanship stand for today. Col Wilford was years ahead of his time and insisted every Officer passing through the School of Musketry be proficient in not only the firing, but the theory of Small Arms. #since1853

Life has rarely changed over the years in the world of Infantry Battle School Skill at Arms, although instructors have much more autonomy in the conveying of the objectives and how they are delivering the output. #since1853

On behalf of the Commanding Officer, The Corps would like to congratulate WO1 Brad Jackson on being awarded the Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) on HMTK’s Birthday Honours List. The MSM is awarded to military members who are of irreproachable character. A great achievement.

Some awesome experiences this week. Visited ETG to get the scoop on how the Phalanx platoons worked on recent trials. To say it was awesome is an understatement! 🤜💥🤛 Also got to visit the Small Arms School Corps weapons collection & discuss future work while geeking out! 🤓 I love my job!
