Lt Col Mark Griffiths

Very well done to Blandford detachment, winning best Royal Signals detachment in the UK! Great job everyone. @R_Signals @Dorsetacf @ArmyCadetsUK @BritishArmy

It was fantastic to be invited to speak at the @BritishArmy engagement event in Bournemouth. There was real enthusiasm for the Cadet force and it's social impact. @ArmyCadetsUK

Well this evening my lil bestie officially joined the party! Following in my footsteps steps, he has joined the ACF, and was this evening issued his uniform. Now the job of teaching him how to iron it begins. #prouddad

A couple of weeks ago now but here I am receiving my 2nd clasp to my long service medal... Well that went quick!! @ArmyCadetsUK @Dorsetacf #MakeADifference

@DepNat_Trg_Offr Well done 👍

Received some great news, following attending a selection board, I have been appointed from 1 Dec 25 to new role as Deputy National Training Officer HQ Regional Command as Lt Colonel, really excited at the opportunity to help develop the Cadet Experience to a wider audience

@ColCadetsArmy Fantastic achievement Col John. It was great working with you this year at Altcar, wishing all the very best for the future.

It was brilliant to be at the dining out of Colonel John Mytton as the Commandant of Shropshire ACF. Here we see the Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire presenting him with the 6th Clasp to his Cadet Forces Medal for an absolutely outstanding 50 years as a Cadet Force Adult Volunteer.

On parade in Dorchester this morning, a great turnout and the cadets did themselves proud. Some time to reflect and remember my friend Lcpl Jonathan Kyle Price USMC. Semper Fi. @Dorsetacf

It was great to welcome three new instructors to Dorset ACF yesterday. The beginning, of what I hope, will be a long and rewarding time with this great organisation. @ArmyCadetsUK @Dorsetacf

Take a bow @ArmyCadetsUK. He’s one of yours and you taught him CPR.

Camp photo arrived today, looks fantastic. Great service from start to finish from @HTempestPhoto . Thank you!

The whole defence community is deeply saddened by the death of Field Marshal Lord Guthrie, Chief of the Defence Staff 1997-2001. We pay tribute to his dedicated service to our Armed Forces and the defence of our country. Our thoughts are with his friends & family at this time.

This...

Shooting in the ACF isn't just about marksmanship — it's about focus, discipline, and building confidence. A great couple of days running the 3* ranges. @ArmyCadetsUK

@SSI_S_Elliott Not an easy course. I'm sure you will get the result you want, keep striving 💪. Good luck.

Didn’t get the result I wanted on my Skill at Arms Instructor course. Gutted, yeah—but not defeated. These things happen, and I’ll be back at some point. Proud of how far I’ve come, proud of the effort I put in, and proud to keep pushing forward.

@WestAcf @AC_INCLUSION Very smart, well done to all of you.

Today, on Armed Forces Day, we proudly salute the brave men and women who serve and have served in our Armed Forces. Thank you for your dedication, courage, and sacrifice -protecting our freedoms at home and abroad. #ArmedForcesDay #SaluteOurForces #ThankYou

A great fieldcraft weekend on Bovy with our senior cadets. Incredible to see confidence and skills grow so much in a relatively short space of time! @Dorsetacf @ArmyCadetsUK

@chinnychick You'll smash it! Good luck and thank you for all your work raising awareness.

By far the most depressing part of putting my number on my vest yesterday was answering… ‘is anyone with you at todays event’ NO ❌ I’m going it alone, just like I’ve been running solo for all my training…. But the thing is I won’t be alone tomo…I’ll have the incredible support of all the @combatstress team and most importantly YOU lot!🫡 🙌 You have lifted me off the floor when I needed it throughout this journey. I can never thank you all enough for your support, advice, sponsorship and love. 🩷🙏💪 Tomorrow I’m running to show all those who are sat in the darkness, that if you just get moving, ur momentum will build and u WILL find the light again! 👊 If you wanna follow me along the 26.2 miles tomo….here’s the App! 👇 apps.apple.com/gb/app/2025-tc…

N COY cadets fieldcraft training on Bovington this past weekend. Learning the basics for our junior cadets and ambush patrols for the seniors. Building teamwork and resilience. @ArmyCadetsUK
