Its been a busy month for the VCC and our unit! On top of this we hosted our Junior Cadet Leadership Weekend, had cadets complete their The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Exped & had cadets and staff participate in the National Trafalgar Day parade! We can't wait for this month & November is already busy!

Our Armed Forces risked everything to protect us, despite never meeting us. They passed on the baton: it's now our duty to serve and remember their sacrifices. #Remembrance

Today was day one of the Volunteer Cadet Corps first Initial Staff Training weekend. Great to see our adult #volunteers from across the Region getting stuck in to support their learning and development so that, together, we can deliver fantastic #experiences for all of our cadets

Delighted to see the first of our new Initial Staff Training weekends under way. With a new Staff Training Team in place and a renewed aspiration to up-skill and develop our unpaid volunteers, it’s great to see this being well supported by my colleagues. BZ to our training team.

A fab second day of the Volunteer Cadet Corps Initial Staff Training weekend. Our adult #volunteers worked on a range of activities from upskilling as instructors to ways they can support team building within their units! A great weekend and I’m delighted that our unit staff could support!

Duty is teaching that knives belong in the kitchen, not on the streets. Commando Chef - MBE - hosts free cooking classes through which he helps educate young people about nutrition while advocating against knife crime. Tap to watch Mike's video, 'The Choice'. #ACelebrationOfDuty

We were also invited to visit the HMS Queen Elizabeth, the ships company gave our cadets a ships tour and an insight of life onboard a Royal Navy Carrier. The cadets favourite part was definitely the firefighting equipment they said.

Recently, we were fortunate enough to get a tour of HMS Prince of Wales. Our cadets got to see the Hangar, Flight Deck, Bridge and FLYCO. We would like to thank the ship's company and our guide for hosting us onboard. Volunteer Cadet Corps HMS Prince of Wales

Today the Portsmouth joint Field Gun crew had their first days training. The morning period was classroom based, while the afternoon period was practical training on the equipment. Let’s look forward to a challenging Field Gun season ahead.
