My last post as Commandant, Defence School of Transport as I come to the end of my time in the role. Last Saturday DST hosted Ex Northern Strike, the RLC Mil Skills competition. GSM DST accompanied me round the course - what a way to bid farewell to DST - and my webbing!
@RLCDCSHoT @UKArmyLogistics@RLCCorpsSM@hutchings_si Amazing service - thank you for the excellent job you have done at DST - strong to the finish you leave a great legacy.
@27RegimentRLC@UKArmyLogistics@25Rlc This photo from last year….count down is on for Ex Northern Strike 23 - I hope you are looking forward to it as much as we are.
@NatashaMDay They are great aren’t they - the DST one at Leconfield is often used by permanent staff, students and their families and it provides a really useful resource to make sure that we can support people when they need it most.
@Phil_Prosser_13 It’s (overdue) time for students at UK staff colleges to start studying Jomini as well as Clausewitz. The science of logistics is essential to the art of war. @hutchings_si@UKArmyLogistics @LogisticThinker @LWC_UK
@AHC_roadsafety Looking forward to seeing the finished Film - DST personnel really enjoyed working with your team and were chuffed to be able to contribute to such a worthy cause.
@pinstripedline FMT process has changed. Now an app (my Drive) which removes some of the bureaucracy. Civ driving licence meets requirement for driving civ hire vehs on Rd but does not record specialist requirements such as conversion to type and cross country skills. All covered by new app.
Today has been a fantastic day at DST - Beverley Armed Forces Day held on our site at Leconfield East Yorkshire. Amazing effort from the team - here is a taster of the set up yesterday as we prepared the site for the day. https://t.co/nGq5x7D13E
A great day today hosting Beverley Armed Forces Day at DST - 5000 attendees not including military personnel, DST staff and exhibitors. Photos and videos to follow…,after a pause to recover!
@UnimportantO @ArmyBasing @mod_dio@reds10ltd Quite right, you will appreciate that it’s a balance of cost/time/effect. The contractor hands us a relatively blank canvas. We are now adding the style through informal learning cues ( pictures/graphics etc) which educate, inform, entertain (and provide noise attenuation).
@BucksheeSSgt @ArmyBasing @mod_dio@reds10ltd Yes, multi occupancy for short term cses only - a bit like the new transit accommodation elsewhere on the army estate.
@Wee_G79 @ArmyBasing @mod_dio@reds10ltd These new buildings are for students on short duration courses. The buildings replace older accommodation that consisted of 12/24 person open plan barrack rooms. These blocks are better equipped and cost far less to run. They are great value for money.
An enlighting visit to the Normanby Barracks yesterday, escorted by the Welfare Team. CatZero are looking forward to working with serving military families in the near future. @Comdt_DST#Normandy#Military#Families#CatZero
