Shetland ACF

Many thanks to our new service helper, Sgt John Best of the local Army Reserve @105RegtRA The cadets are loving your skill & knowledge with rifle drill. Cheers Sgt 'Besty'!

@Stevie_hall18 Thank you for your kind words @Stevie_hall18 - Shetland is no longer Independent as in your day; we are now part of @1hldrsacf ...but we still maintain the same ethos as you would have known. Whenever you're back in the northern isles the cadets would love to meet you #ACF

@ShetlandACF Congratulations on the promotions. Great to see the Shetland ACF still going strong. I was a young lad who started my journey with Shetland ACF then joined the regular Army over 20 years ago and still serving. It's a great organisation #ACF

Last night saw the annual promotions & presentations evening @ShetlandACF in the presence of cadet's families & friends and invited guests & dignitaries

Lots of hard work in the north during recent FAW courses for adults & senior cadets @LovatACF and @ShetlandACF

Leaders don't always need to be right, but the internal pressure to be right is REAL ! Try kind ? #worldkindnessday #thekindleader #leadershipdevelopment #armycadets #inspiretoachieve

'Inspiring others to succeed' This really is at the core of the ACF leader's role. If you are unsure about commissioning ask yourself 'Do I thrive on seeing others succeed' ? If your answer is yes, we will see you on the IOT course soon. #inspiretoachieve #LeadershipDevelopment

Warning orders have gone out to Counties. If you’re planning on doing something in your County please let me know #firstaidsaveslives

As a cadet forces leader, how high on your list of priorities is self- care ? No time ? Make time ! Pausing for a cuppa is self- care, even better if someone else makes it for you. #selfcare #leadership #LeadershipDevelopment #MentalHealthMatters @ArmyCadetsUK @CFHealthyMinds

Wonderful. Chatted to @JimMcFarlane18 & @quin_joyce on their way home today. 5 day road trip! Sounds like a great course and wonderful hospitality! May have to come to the #shetlands myself! @CVQO @CVQOChiefExec

@CFHealthyMinds leaflets and cards should now be in a HQ near you 🙂. Please make sure these get distributed to the cadets and adults at platoon level with some in your WETC’s for ease of access.
