Senior Officers and OC's from URNU Belfast honoured all those who have fought for our country on Sunday 9th. Held at Queen's University Belfast, and at a smaller chapel service, these services enabled us to reflect on those who have come before us, honouring their memory.

Two days of @ynrotc_lc programming saw our OCs participate in Q&A on panels on shipbuilding and the industrial base, special operations and several leadership addresses, with Genevieve Chase, James Hatch, RAdm (Ret’d) Philip Dur and RAdm Craig Mattingly. @RFCANI @RNinNIreland

Day 2 of @ynrotc_lc saw our OCs taking part in lectures alongside their NROTC counterparts. Later we toured the campus and visited the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript library and were allowed hands-on access to material from WW2 and the Napoleonic Wars. @QUBelfast @UlsterUni

URNU Belfast visited HMS GANNET today to visit @825NAS. Officer Cadets received a thorough tour of a Wildcat helicopter, a presentation on the wide scope of Wildcat Ops globally and had an unparalleled opportunity to talk to naval aviators, arguably the finest of the species ⚓️😁

HMS Prince of Wales beat her 30-day notice to sail by 22 days. This is not a failure.

Yesterday our Officer Cadets held our first ‘Pancake PLT’ or practical leadership task. The four teams battled valiantly for supremacy… but in the end there could be only one!!!
