The legend @RossEdgley . He’s already swum around Britain, he’s now swimming around Iceland!!!Friend of @RoyalMarines & @HMNBDevonport. In a world where few things are left to be conquered- he’s still finding them! Motto : “Naive enough to start, stubborn enough to finish!”.

Fully hoofing.
The UK Commando Force continues to transform. Commandos are the first to understand, the first to adapt, and the first to overcome. Per Mare, Per Terram. Full video over on our "Commando_Operations" Instagram channel. 🗡

Illuminating last set after a super busy week. A few (life) lessons here…(1) it’s ok to fail (2) objective voices are worth listening to (thats my coach yelling no,no,no!) & (3) have a strong friend close - if you’re not going to listen!🤦♂️Refreshed, humbled & back at work now!

We’ve started a ‘Did you know …. about @HMNBDevonport’. Here’s the first instalment… This one dedicated to @LukePollard who enjoyed visiting @HmsSmiter last week.
#DidYouKnow .HMNB Devonport is home to 4 X P2000 patrol vessels. Usually conducting maritime security operations, HMS Pursuer & HMS Smiter are recently back from the Baltics where they demonstrated their potential as temporary minehunters & worked with drones.

Great feedback from pupils in @DrakePrimary following their ‘graduating class’ visit to us recently. So important to show the young people of this great city what’s behind the big walls. Part of being a good neighbour. Essential for growing the city for the future.

Love it. Great attitude Mark. Spot on.
You can feel sorry for yourself or you can do the work. But you can’t do both. Life doesn’t care about your excuses. Show up. Put in the graft. Earn every rep. Tag someone who gets it 👊. #MarkOrmrod #NoLimits #BuiltDifferent #VeteranMindset #GymMentality #EarnIt

A brilliant team working incredibly hard (on top of managing the Base as usual) enabling @HMNBDevonport to showcase itself to its city. I can’t praise or thank them enough. 🙏.
⚓️ Our teams within the dockyard are looking toward to welcoming the general public onboard today. There’s so much to do. #devonportopendays @RoyalNavy @BrigMikeTanner
