And that’s a wrap on Intermediate First aid, Basic Seamanship and Basic Catering this weekend. BZ to all the classes and good luck to those on assessment on Tuesday! Thanks to all the instructors who gave their time to deliver this training weekend.

No we didn’t have a casualty today but we did have a visit from @Role1Medical to our cadets on the intermediate first aid course! Cadets had a greater understanding of the role post first aid from the medical services!

Only possible with the support of our families and our employers. I couldn't have been part of this team with the support of Mrs S @palmsquirrel and my #teamfisher @CapitaPlc colleagues. All set for track week starting Monday.
Happy Armed Forces day from The Maritime Reserves Field Gun Crew!

Not that I intend to use the @RNLI mainly cause @westall_chris would never let me forget it but; after buying a kayak, along with a whistle and buoyancy aid I also became an #RNLI member. You can as well. 👇 rnli.org/support-us/give-mon…

Hey @GarminUK think there's something amiss in Connect. When I converted from open water swim to Kayak it seems to think I was going twice the speed I sound.

I can neither confirm nor deny whether the capsized kayak had anything to do with me.😕 Evenings like this are why I'm an adult #volunteer for @SeaCadetsUK. Great times passing on skills and knowledge to the next generation.
Our cadets got up close and personal with @SeaCadetsUK Flagship TS Royalist on Thursday whilst on the water. Many of our cadets have fond memories of voyages they’ve already been on! Meanwhile our Juniors enjoyed their first night of Kayaking in the marina!

Whilst some of my @RNReserve colleagues were in London for the #Coronation I stuck closer to home, helping my #seacadet unit host a breakfast for #Veterans #freescran!
The unit was absolutely thrilled to get stuck into the ‘Big Help Out’ to mark the coronation of HM King Charles III. Our breakfast event was aimed at the whole service community; regular, reserve and veterans. It was undoubtedly a success.

As part of our return to afloat training our cadets spent this evening completing site inductions, maintenance and recovery and launch drills at our boat yard. The boating season is fast approaching!

Field Gun: One of the most challenging physical team tasks out there! #Grit, #Determination, #Courage and #Reliability are required to achieve success! #Fitness is key and the desire to be the best…essential! Enquire if this appeals to you! 💪 👇

Not just in emergency care. Post op recovery constantly struggling, poor staffing levels/skill mix. Poor physical working environment. Lack of beds ie. actual beds. Long waits for ward beds for post op pts. Staff moral through the floor. We're broken 💔
