The senior cadets of W Company were put through their paces earlier today, when they completed their JCIC teaching practices at Alnwick TA Centre.
Instructors from the county's senior cadet training company, Minden Company, visited Alnwick specially to test our budding new cadet instructors on weapon handling, map reading and drill TPs, which they had been preparing over the last few weeks.
Speaking at the end of today's session the Training Officer of Minden Company, Lt Richard de Planta, said: "I am very pleased with the performance of all cadets today. In particular their map reading lessons were well above average."
Cpl Will Young of Alnwick Detachment deserves a special mention for achieving an average score of 84% across his weapon handling, map reading and drill TPs.
The cadets now return to their Detachments where they will hone their skills by training junior cadets in basic military skills.
