What a lovely surprise! The Regimental LtCol and Brigade Major came and gifted members of No.2 Coy 10 robux each. Fantastic attendance from both platoons. Very happy with you all.

6 Platoon mustered at Wellington Barracks this evening to take the first official photo of the Platoon for the year.

The photo marked the return of 6 Platoon to a ceremonial-oriented role after the couple of weeks spent conducting counterinsurgency operations in Cyprus.

Today we welcome our newly-appointed Platoon Sergeant and say goodbye to the newly-promoted Colour Sergeant Edward Hamilton.

We welcome Sergeant Alexander Lawson to what will be an exciting new time for the Platoon now that we begin to return to public duties.

Hard fought session during deployment in the gym. Very impressed by the strength of the platoon and slightly worried that I might be loosing my touch. Happy to see these lads are now even more prepared to fight out there.

CYPRUS '23

6 Platoon have been hard at work, getting these operations done. Good effort from all of them. I am very grateful to have been awarded the Distinguished Service Order and would like to extend my congratulations to my Platoon Sergeant for being mentioned in dispatches.

🎄3 days to go...

A look back at this year has seen some great memories. The whole platoon is looking forward to Cyprus now as we round off our ceremonial duties. Pictured below was our final platoon drill event and final NCO meeting. I hope everyone has a great Christmas.

Keep moving on. 6 Platoon have been having a fair share of ceremonial and field duties, learning and improving in both. Great to see the group continuing from such a great start.

Administrative couple of days. I have had some one-on-one meetings with platoon staff to get everyone on the same page and also attended the Commanding Officer's Parade. We've been informed of what to expect and I'm looking forward to the future. Training starts next week.
