The Tunnels of Gibraltar are a notable feature of ‘The Rock’, which overlooks our Overseas Base at @MODGibraltar

This week we’ll be showing how #TheRockTunnels have been used by Defence from the second world war to the modern day.

The UKStratCom flash is based on an 80-year-old design. The original design consisted of a “Tommy” gun, an eagle, and a stockless anchor, representing land, sea, and air forces. There are now more than 50 variations of the insignia worn by militaries worldwide.

Strategic Command held the Now, Next, Future internal conference this week.

Attendees from across the Command discussed adopting an agile mindset to increase effectiveness and bring wider benefits across Defence.

I spent the past few years in the @BritishArmy's @EtsBranch AES teaching 👨‍🎓 @MOD_DCDC FOE2035 doctrine and how climate change was a threat. It's great to hear that we're rising to meet part of that challenge!

@comdetsn @NorthWestRFCA @103RA @EtsBranch @AGCSgtMaj Well done Jo!

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Education isn't about the ability to remember and repeat, in which people study to pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything.

It is the ability to learn from experience, to think, solve problems, and use our knowledge to adapt to new situations. 🧠

OFFICER EDUCATION (Part 3)

[Mick Ryan, AM @WarintheFuture]

Love this series. This particular quote is vital:

“teaching duty… in peacetime… was not only necessary but also natural for army professionals.”

Any military organisation that doesn’t have this as part of its ethos cannot call itself a full member of the profession of arms.

[R Maclastname @Sporygog]

I think these are transferable to military education as well

[R Maclastname @Sporygog]

Hey @TimHarford could you expand on this, it's important scholarship! What IS gold pressed latinum worth?

Yes!

@KarenEvansLtd @KatieSpencey It was a genuinely great week 👍

[R Maclastname @Sporygog]

Great day, 1000+ digital interactions, 100+ great comments, and a two month build up culminating in some long days. Had to add a picture to remind myself how much much went into this. Thanks to everyone that helped. You know who you are you cracking sods. #ETS #Army @32AECGroup

[R Maclastname @Sporygog]

@KatieSpencey Thanks Katie, had a great (long!) day. Really appreciate your comment. To give you glimpse behind the curtain, I have 4 screens, 2 computers and large lamp shining on me for light! My desk is full!
