Calling #Cadets! One for you if you are interested in becoming an apprentice. @MarshallADG are holding an open evening in Cambridge next month (07/02) showcasing their apprenticeship opportunities in areas including land systems & aerospace. More info ↙️ ow.ly/81Xk50Mlehs
Great to see what can be achieved after an education @RHSSuffolk , here with former pupil @RHSAlumniOffice Jim Hockenhull and all the better aboard our affiliate ship @HMSPWLS @Greenwich_Hosp
Multi-Domain Operations was a key topic at the @NATO military conference in Portsmouth in July.

The legendary Jeffrey Long, 91, has just completed another epic fundraising challenge!
The former paratrooper walked 40 miles around his hometown of Bingley in West Yorkshire.
Over the last 15 years, he has raised more than £300,000 for Armed Forces charities. What a hero! 👏
ALT Former paratrooper, Jeffrey Long, stands in front of the Cenotaph in Bradford. He is wearing British Army multi-terrain pattern uniform and holds a walking stick in his left hand. In his right hand, he holds up a maroon beret, adorned with a parachute regiment badge.

If anybody is in any doubt about the value of the cadet experience - watch this👇
What are the benefits of being a cadet?
Professor Simon Denny BA MA PhD, former Executive Dean at Northampton University and lead author of an independent report celebrating the positive impact of the Cadet Forces, addressed this at @RFCAforWales' Annual Briefing:
#cadets
Lt Col Pooley has been actively involved @CCF @RHSSuffolk since arriving in 2004 as Housemaster, Collingwood and later Nelson, and Biology teacher. He has been OC ARMY, gapped for OC @Aircadets, and led as Contingent 2IC or Contingent Commander @HQArmyCadets @EastAngliaRFCA
All 3 of his children were boarders @RHSSuffolk and @CCFcadets ; eldest son is commissioned @YORKS_REGT daughter is paramedic training @EastEnglandAmb youngest son #partofRHS security team, while Mrs Pooley was Nelson Housemistress and English teacher for 7 years.
“My family and I have had many tremendous opportunities @RHSSuffolk I am indebted to past/present colleagues in the teaching/support staff, parents and pupils, who over the last 18 years have enriched our lives in so many ways." @GrenHosp
Last CCF training session of the term was also the last parade for Lt Col Jonathan Pooley as Contingent Commander @RHSSuffolk who moves to the USA in the New Year to take up the role of Commandant at Riverside Military Academy, GA. Aptly he was marched out in a US WW2 Willys Jeep
A fabulous day courtesy of @skillsupplyuk and looking forward to seeing them back @RHSSuffolk in June for the next planned STEM event, where more @CCFcadets will get opportunity to learn more about technology develop their STEM skills
