Congratulations are in order

Congrats to a Certain Lad at his OTC passing off parade for the first year of his training! The sun came out for it at The Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst.

with proud dad and mum

AND his platoon won the Best Platoon Prize! As the programme says: From the outset of the Training Year, the Platoons have faced a competitive challenge at the end of each exercise. These have included loaded marches, casualty extractions, drill competitions and command tasks, all of which have attracted points for the fastest completion. Best Platoon is awarded to the Platoon with the highest number of points.

Here is the inspection of his platoon by the Lieutenant General.

The parade was accompanied by the Band of the Scots Guards

Great Day!
