Delighted to be appointed the new Training Officer for @KohimaCoy!

With what we’ve experienced in 2020 & with so many new & unique opportunities for our Cadets & CFAVs in the ACF, I’m excited and looking forward to taking on the challenge ahead!
Let’s do this!

Split in 2 teams of 3 lead by a Cdt Cpl, the Cdts were tasked with ID’ing key locations across the Forth Valley with the intent to push an arial recce.

They secured 4 & 6 fig GR & distances for the overall flight path.

Next up, they will do the same but by road.

Well done 24!

Well done!!

Proud to have my good friend LCpl Renwick lay wreaths on @SQArmyCadets & @5_scots behalf. Touching to see him bring Cdt LCpl Hunter from my unit to place our one & be present in memory of his Great Grandfather for SQs small substitute laying due to COVID. #LestWeForget

[Cpl Cruachan IV @CplCruachan_IV]

Happy Monday people. Nice to be back at work and doing some exercise with my companion and uncle @5_scots @The_SCOTS
Hope we are all well?
Enjoy the pony therapy 🤣

2Lt @andymalarky spent today learning Yoga, French & Fractions! 😬Here he is avoiding Algebra as best he can.

Make sure you check the link in our Facebook group for our #VirtualACF package Coy HQ will be launching in the next week or so.

Stay safe, stay sensible and stay in!

Congrats to Cdt Cpl Gibb receiving his Emergency First Aid at Work qualification tonight.

This is a nationally recognised qualification heavily sought after by employers & done as standard in the Army Cadets

Once again, well done!

Smiles all round for Cdt B. Preston kicking off 2020 by receiving the Cadet of the Month certificate for January.

Well done!! #maximisingpotential #inspiretoachieve

Maybe as Platoon we could create beeswax wraps for our community to us as part of our @DofE Award?

To become a single-use plastic free organisation we need to identify and eliminate three single use items.

What three single-use plastic items does your Detachment use? 🤔

[Andy Malarky 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇺🇦 @andymalarky]

Very informative evening representing @SQArmyCadets at @PlasticFreeQF’s first meeting tonight. Inspired to see how 24 Platoon can work to become a single-use plastic free organisation within the Community.
Pictured is some beeswax, you can make wraps with it replacing cling film!

What a fantastic opportunity!

2Lt Malarky as a young Cpl with Coy Coy. It’s true! He was an actual real life cadet once upon a time!

Here’s a #throwbacktuesday all the way back from July 2006 with a 16yo Cdt Cpl Malarky 😮 #CommandTasks being smashed at the @LBCadet Annual Camp.
