Even in the inclement weather the cadets and CFAVs are still full of smiles and enjoying themselves @Staffsacf @NationalACSMI

[Lt Col Mark Benson ACF @Mrb6264]

Covid clear, will be joining the county for the final part of AC22 in the morning.

[Lt Col Mark Benson ACF @Mrb6264]

Staffordshire and West Midlands (NS) will start a very different annual camp tomorrow unfortunately minus one Deputy Commandant (me). Good luck to all cadets and adults, hope to catch up with you all Wednesday, once I'm covid negative.

Absolutely amazed that I'm still alive!!
Some how I'm still here and about to rant!
Car drivers use your mirrors!
Don't undercut a bike and the move into my lane before I'm in your mirrors!
Check your blindspots before manoeuvring!
Rant over!

AC21 Day 2 is archery! The range has been setup in conjunction to archery GB standards, the range is set to 10m with a 100m backdrop. The cadets will have a 3 arrow introduction moving onto a 10 bow competition! @WMRFCA @ArmyCadetsUk @ACFColCadets @ArmyCadetsHQ @NationalACSMI

SI Peters conducted a fabulous practical fieldcraft lesson on the training area yesterday. Here the cadets are learning judging distance in the field. It beats learning in a classroom! @ACFColCadets @ArmyCadetsUK @WMRFCA @ArmyCadetsHQ @NationalACSMI

@CheshireACF Permission granted, carry on 😁

This is one of several stinger deployments used on a group of nuisance bikers yesterday after they had been seen riding in an anti social manner endangering themselves & others on public roads & pavements. Several arrests were made & vehicles were seized throughout the day.

@FitbitSupport No issue with response time on the help line, the issue is the inability to give either explanation or a resolution.
