Day of the BCOY Field Day and the Ops Tent is already busy. Thanks to the fabulous support from 37th Signals our cadets have been practicing their signal management in operational scenarios. Lots of decisions to make under pressure! @LboroGrammar

A super afternoon shooting with our friends from Trent. A great way to try out our new Target Sprint setup. @LboroGrammar

Another superb effort from the contingent this morning at the Loughborough Remembrance Parade. They do us proud every year.

Mr Monkey has been in the wars again. This week it’s all about wound management and Poachers 1 have perfected their bandaging technique. Thanks again to Nurse Kellie our superb medical instructor! @LboroGSCCF

Mr Monkey played a vital role in teaching Covid safe CPR techniques yesterday. Thanks to the interventions of Poachers 1, he’s on the road to a full recovery. #firstaid @LboroGSCCF

Poachers 1 had a superb afternoon of first aid training with inimitable Kellie, chief instructor in the LGS CCF Medical Branch. #stayingalive

On Remembrance Day, Grammar School boys remembered those who have laid down their lives to protect our way of life. The two minute silence was observed as Head Boy and youngest pupil both laid wreaths at the two war memorials in school.

Remembrance Sunday is always a somber day, but also one filled with pride for our Armed Forces and all who represent them. In the absence of a full parade this year, our Snr Cadets will pay their respects with a small ceremony on Armistice Day. We will remember them. @LboroGSCCF

Some outstanding drill from Vikings 1 today as they prepare for their beret tests next week. After a successful first half term of training the future looks bright for B Company. @LGSCCF @LboroGrammar

Despite the inclement weather, BCoy built some pretty solid foundations of teamwork and problem solving on their bush caft day. Blindfolds at the ready! @LboroGSCCF

Apocalyptic rain resulted in some slightly damp NCOs. Some suffered more than others.

The award for most unexpected but ingenious way of solving yesterday’s radioactive river crossing goes to...
