I'm proud to play a small part in this youth development endeavour and always encourage others to consider playing a part too.
Did you know there are 138,000+ #Cadets and nearly 28,000 CFAVs in the UK? Theyโre building leadership, teamwork & resilience โ skills valued by AFC signatories. With the new school year starting, itโs the perfect time to show your support: ๐ https://t.co/ACU3BkfKKU

I was delighted that DComd Cdts, Brig Gary McDade, agreed to present Cjt K his @AcctUk Praiseworthy First Aid certificate while at camp last week. He speedily dealt with a head injury of another pupil at school. #lifesaving

Another Camp done. Many hundreds of ACS module passes, some promotions, Stars and awards, but more importantly, some lives improved through fun, friendship, belonging and well-being. This is the ACF way. Job done (until September) Commandant out. #BeMore

We hosted the Cadet Health Check Team today during Annual Camp. It's great that the Chief of Defence People sends an independent team to temperature check the UK's Cadet Forces, what's going well and what our roadblocks are...

Superb to have been witness to the final parade of the 2025 Champion Cadet competitors at Frimley especially as my son from @SomersetACF and my @BandCIACF Cdt RSM were there. Awesome to have a bunch of them want to be in one of my apparently famed selfies too ๐
