WO1 (SMI) Hensby receiving his award from Maj-Gen Strickland.

Some awesome experiences this week. Visited ETG to get the scoop on how the Phalanx platoons worked on recent trials. To say it was awesome is an understatement! 🤜💥🤛 Also got to visit the @SASC_1853 weapons collection & discuss future work while geeking out! 🤓 I love my job!

DEFOSC continues with block 3 starting today. The planning team and RCO’s have done a sterling job thus far. #thecorps #hythetrained

On behalf of the Commanding Officer, The Corps would like to congratulate WO1 Brad Jackson on being awarded the Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) on HMTK’s Birthday Honours List. The MSM is awarded to military members who are of irreproachable character. A great achievement.

I had the pleasure today to award the medals at the British Shooting Pathway Competition, some outstanding results by all. T2T Athletes 2 x 🥉 for Cpl Mitchell and Cpl Janney just missing out on the final 9th with LCpl Cann 16th 👍 @Troops_2_Target @ArmySportASCB @SASC_1853

@ArmySgtMajor A very proud day for them all and their families. Well done @Wez155 👏🏻

Congratulations to all who achieved their degree, to our commanders who supported them and to our Army who secured the places. Education for our soldiers is important, this is the start of something great and a demonstration of the commitment we have in developing our people.

Over the last two days 14 individuals have been attending the Potential Candidates Course (PCC) in HQ SASC. The course aim is to select the very best to go onto SASC Candidates in Sept 21. Handwritten sealed letters from the Commanding Officer are in bound. #since1853

@ATR_Winchester @HqItg What an excellent way of building the muscle memory. Looking forward to seeing that VR evolving.

youtu.be/9eflXNUX28A It’s a Weapon Handling Test, but not as we know it. QMSI McGarvie SASC and Recruits in rehab who are unable to handle weapons are trialling Virtual Reality to allow them to keep pace with their peers. Early results are promising @HqItg @SASC_1853 #SAF-TAC

@vickersmg @BritishArmy @IBSBrecon @ITC_Catterick @armycoschinf @historicfirearm @WW2Talk @ckolonko That's fascinating Richard. 👏🏻 Maybe it's time for an update...

20 May 1946: This is the moment in @BritishArmy history when ‘GRIT’ was introduced into the pamphlets for fire control orders: Group, Range, Indication, Type of Fire. This is why pamphlet amendments, however minor, are really interesting.

Life has rarely changed over the years in the world of @IBSBrecon Skill at Arms, although instructors have much more autonomy in the conveying of the objectives and how they are delivering the output. #since1853

@6SATT @RAF_Wittering @CERegionRAFAC @ComdtAC 👍🏻
