Army Cadet Force detachment Commander in 5 company Beds&Herts ACF, 2LT. DofE leader. Proud to wear #royallancers Motto. In the other life I'm on thin blue line.

@John_W66 That looks very much like a bassingbourn CTC :)

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

Yay... The best score in the sprint and shoot competition amongst the adults... Mainly because I was the only adult who took part... On the other side... I lead by example... If the cadets can do it why shouldn't the adults try and give their best.

So the #ACF is stealing two people from the home tonight... The Staff Sgt cadet is off to her SCIC. And I'm away to help out with a county event (on a short notice... Oh well... Things happen)

@Danilt24 All done... With just near ground experience :)

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

Second hike of the year done... This time visiting #MamTor who after first 20 minutes on the trail hid himself in clouds. Now time to log it on #cadetportal getting ready for new adventure

#hiking

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

First #AcF parade night of the year and already one of my cadets signed up to @ACFADofE 😃

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

First #geocaching walk of the year... It certainly helps one to do some head cleaning :D and yes... The first #geocache of 2024 was now found and logged :P

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

@ACFADofE @ArmyCadetsUK Will certainly look flout for those...

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

Started the year on a high... Literally... Now to log it and to finally sign up for a hill walking instructors course, so I can get the #dofe cadets in to even better places :)

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

Well...that was certainly the first one for me.

You can never say you've done it all in this job.
We've received a call from public to a rea running loose. Withing few minutes culprit was located and detained. It's now safely on its way home. What an end to our year #DidYouCatchThisSwanYet ? #ruralpolicing

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

#Company #Acf #armycadetforce #wintercamp and not once any of them said that it was cold.

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

And just like this I am leaving my first detachment. I'm not going to lie... It's a bit windy today and something must've fell in to my eye to make it water a bit. I am so proud of what those guys achieved in a year! #ACF #Cfav #detachmentcommander

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

@mikmikemicky I'll be honest. I cannot have been any more proud of her, as I know that each rank, and each star she achieved she worked really hard for. Albeit it doesn't beat Apache flying yet :P

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

So this happened to my daughter today... And due to still being house bound I wasn't able to see this happening. Oh well at least nobody can say that she was promoted because her dad is an acf officer. 😔

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

So... It's my last parade as DC in my first detachment... My next parade will take place on a pastures new... I'm really sad... And a bit excited.

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

Proof that as Cadet Forces instructors and cadets we can all work together!

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

That feelings when ones daughter buys him this absolutely amazing set of #DandD dice. Here's to another circle around the sun for me! :D

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

@DcAmpthill Thank You.

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

And there we are... After being DC at my first detachment for just over a year and bringing it from 4 to 20+ cadets, with many APC passes, some DofE awards and Some promotions I'm moving to different detachment in our Company. To the new challenge! #ToInspireToAchieve

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

@andreclark28 Thank You Sir.

[BigManSlav @TheBigManSlav]

@auoclarke @ACCBHQ @ACF_Devon @ArmyCadetsHQ By the way... Sounds like you need to change your Twitter handle. ;P
