CCF Field Weekend - September/October 2017

194 cadets attended Nesscliff training camp for Exercises. All cadets undertook a round robin of First Aid, RAF STEAM activity, Navigation and living in the field. Saturday night was spent outside under their self-built bashers and had to feed themselves for the next 24 hours using the Army ration pack.

As darkness fell, cadets received a demonstration about light and noise at night along with undertaking a 3km night patrol. 

It was a busy few days where all cadets were challenged and they can be proud of what they achieved individually, as well as a Recruit Company.

The Contingent Commander thanks the six NCO’s who volunteered to support this exercise: RSM Hegarty, Company Sargent Major Gardner, Sargent Major Finnemore, Sargent Starikova, Sargent Shaw and Corporal Nichols.

Furthermore, a significant thank you to all staff who supported this exercise for whom without it would not be possible to put on such an event: SSI Farnes, Captain Clinton, Flt Lt Kelly, Flt Lt Helmore, Lt Summerfield, Mr Pothecary, Mr Albutt, Mr Dowling, and Mrs Courtney.
