So after a period of leave from the ACF, it’s nearly time to get back to it. Much needed rest and time away has done me the world of good and I come back ready to make a difference to the people I work with and the cadets that I work for. Sometimes u just need a break #volunteer

3 years as CSTO A Company have come to an end as I move on to become Assistant Battalion Training Officer. What an honour it’s been. 🥹 A Company has been my home for 18 years and I’ve loved every second. Thank you to all of them, my A Company family 💚 @BandCIACF @OCACoyBristol
