@MajorlyTired I think this is the US approach. A nominal
Role is submitted for group days away that qualify and the money is in their pay. Individuals get an allowance for hotels and expenses. It’s up to them whether they spend more of their own money to have a better experience….

Our Ex FROSTED BLADE team have begun their return back to warmer weather. Some excellent results seeing Sjt Lewis finish 2nd in the Infantry, & Rfn Ward 3rd in the Female Combined team. Rfn Cook and Sjt Lewis now move on to the Div Championship. Swift and Bold!

Are we two nations separated by one language?
@Nationals MLB baseball players THOUGHT they knew what a ‘jumper’ was, clearly…..they didn’t!
Check out their knowledge of British slang - and perhaps test yours!
Better still, join us for UK-US Friendship Day at Nats Park June 7.

The Headquarters have been put through their paces this week, planning and then running evacuation operations in preparation for the assumption of the Cyprus Regional Standby role. This is one of many new tasks we could be finding ourselves doing from Cyprus. @bfcyprus @7thRats

Yesterday the Bn conducted our 'Farewell to Chepstow' Parade - with HRH the Duke of Kent in attendance @RoyalFamily. The town, and its locals, have been a huge part of the Bn's 15yrs in Beachley Barracks. @chepstowraces @ChepstowBooks @ArmyComd160X

Fantastic photo of the 1 RIFLES contingent with their Colonel Commandant @tomcopsymes . I'm sure you'll all perform outstandingly tomorrow and bring some Rifles swagger. Well done to all involved - it will be a truly spectacular event.

Back from a week in Cyprus covering Sudan evacuations.

Legit questions for the politicians about why it took so long to start, but the @FCDOGovUK and military staff we met, worked ridiculously long days & did all they could to help people, of any nationality, so credit to them.
