The National Citizen Scheme

By media_commeseditor | 31st January 2017

A group of Sutton students recently spent an afternoon visiting their local Army Reserve Centre at Stonecot Hill, Sutton.

The students which are aged between 15 and 17 are all taking part in the National Citizen Service (NCS). The NCS is a once’in-a-lifetime part-residential experience open to young people across England and Northern Ireland. The programme helps young people build skills for work and life while taking on exciting challenges, making new friends and contributing to their community.

During the visit to 210 Squadron, which is part of 151 Regiment Royal Logistic Corps, the students were introduced to a professional military environment where they got to meet Officers and soldiers and deliver a presentation to a panel of Army ‘Dragons’. The students presented a campaign idea that they had designed and created around a social action project and pitched their idea to a panel, which in turn provided feedback to the group.

Phoebe Grudzinskas, one of the Challenge co-ordinators, said, “The group were really excited to meet the Army and present to the Military Dragons. The group were motivated by the feedback given and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.â€

Capt D Gregory MBE, who helped co-ordinate the visit, said, “The group had a well thought out plan and delivered their presentation professionally. Collectively, the group had a constructive answer to every thought process challenged by the military panel. The exercise clearly demonstrated the group’s ability to plan and work as a team. These qualities are equally sought after in the Army.â€

After the presentation students were introduced to a range of vehicles used by the Royal Logistic Corps and were provided information about the life skills and sports opportunities available in the Army.

151 Regt’s capabilities are explained to local students on the National Citizen Scheme.

The students had to pitch to a panel of fearsome dragons in a gruelling presentation.

Exercise Northern Strike was the ultimate test of grit, determination, and teamwork. Regiments from across the Royal Logistic Corps competed in a series of challenging military skills, from vehicle recognition to battlefield casualty drills.After tackling these stands, teams set off on an 8km weighted march, pushing through obstacles before moving straight into the RMT, where they swiftly transported vital supplies under pressure. A sharp test of accuracy followed on the 25m range, then a final 2km weighted run—finishing with a stretcher carry. True resilience and camaraderie were on full display!#WeAreTheRLC #youbelonghere #wesustain

Since 1959, Exercise Cambrian Patrol has been the one of ultimate tests of military skill, leadership, and teamwork, uniting forces from around the world. This year, 27 Regiment RLC earned a well-deserved silver medal.Tackling 60 km of tough terrain with over 1000m of climbs, all while carrying up to 45kg, this challenge is a true test of grit and determination. Massive respect to everyone who took part, and a huge congrats to all RLC who made the podium!

7 Regiment RLC continue to strive, celebrating its people and its rich heritage through a series of Orzel Day events. The day began with the whole regiment taking on a physical challenge. This was particularly apt as it was set on World Mental Health Day. It provided a mentally testing set of challenges as well as the physical element. #youbelonghere #WeAreTheRLC #logistics #wesustain #britisharmylogistics

The RLC hosted another ETHERTON presentation at the RLC Museum, where Mr Steven Waring, a former Army Catering Corps soldier, was repatriated with his beret and capbadge. This is a significant moment for Steven, a hugely proud and proactive veteran from a strong lineage of military family, who was unjustly discharged from the Army. We remain committed to shaping an inclusive future for all in the RLC. #WeAreTheRLC #youbelonghere
