Thursday 2 December saw the first Army / Navy combined Field Exercise in 18 months. There were ninety Year 9 cadets (including some from our affiliated school – Platanos), on exercise at the Mereworth Wood Training Area near Sevenoaks in Kent.
A very cold but sunny day allowed the cadets a full and busy exercise with the Army cadets upskilling in field cooking, patrolling, observation, cam & concealment and bashas, and the Naval cadets similarly but with focus on assessment for their first promotion (ropework skills / drill) combined with some fun elements including field cooking and orienteering.
The day was considered very successful, and we were proud of the Year 9 cohort and their resilience, commitment, spirit and purpose. Well done to both the staff and cadets on our long awaited return to field training.
