C'est le jour de la course à obstacles!  
Les cadets courent la course à obstacles dans le cadre du programme d'entraînement des recrues depuis 1876. La course est destinée à tester la force, le leadership et les capacités de travail en équipe des élèves officiers.

This collection of ladders and metal stern will eventually become a #WWII corvette at the Kingston Shipyards. As we talked about this week, over 1500 crew worked here! Do you know anyone who worked here? Tell us at https://t.co/ZUImntBM0s

Recrues, juin 1899.

La formation des nouvelles recrues est un processus épuisant et gratifiant. Au cours des deux dernières semaines, nous avons vu les nouvelles recrues et le personnel de la FYOP travailler dur, en suivant les traces de nombreux élèves officiers avant eux.

Training Recruits, June 1899.

Training new recruits is a gruelling and rewarding process. For the last two weeks we've been watching the new recruits and FYOP staff working hard, following in the footsteps of many Officer Cadets before them.

Many youths who were rejected by the military on account on their age and size supported #ww2 by joining the Merchant Navy
