CCF Inspection 2021 - 性世界传媒

性世界传媒

The College鈥檚 CCF has been in existence since 1887 and in that time has been inspected听on听numerous听occasions. The modern Biennial Inspection has been in existence since 1995 and in this time the inspection has happened every听two听years without fail until 2020 when Covid, led to it being cancelled.听

The purpose of the inspection is for the CCF听administrative organisations to gain a snapshot of听our听CCF鈥檚 numbers, progression and qualifications. It also presents an opportunity听to visit and see听our pupils in action on a听CCF afternoon.

The decision was made to hold听our Biennial Inspection听on 11/11/21. An important date for so many reasons and especially poignant as this would also mark the centenary of the College鈥檚 Memorial to the Fallen within the Cricket Pavilion.

The Inspecting Officer for this year鈥檚听parade and session was Wing听Commander H茅l猫ne Gould, Officer Commanding,. As the 性世界传媒 CCF continues to grow, we have been working more closely with our local Community Cadet units and Sussex Wing have been regular visitors to the campus to use our facilities.听

The day itself saw all 297 of the CCF鈥檚 cadets on parade, filling the Outer Quad and representing each of the three services. The Army as usual dominated the ranks, however听 the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force Sections continue to steadily grow, as they have for the last four years. The parade is a great opportunity for the Inspecting Officer to speak to the cadets and witness the drills that they have practiced so hard in the weeks leading up to the event.听

The Guard and Colour Party showed their expert听rifle听drill skills and responded to Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) Will Pearce鈥檚 commands throughout. When asked about the experience of commanding the entire parade the RSM said 鈥淚 was honored to be in the role and be trusted to play my part in such an听historic 性世界传媒 tradition!鈥.听

After the parade,听attention turned to the CCF听session itself. Very much a normal day with syllabus training resuming for most sections. The Royal Navy took on disaster relief scenarios using their STEM Skills to demonstrate how they would build bridges and structures to support rescue efforts from disaster zones out of a听giant Meccano set. The Army Cadets had the opportunity to get messy听and show off their movement and concealment skills through multiple sessions in the mud and woods. The RAF began the first of their sessions in their Theory of Flight听syllabus, the first step to听taking a flying trip.

The session ended with听Wg听Cdr Gould addressing the cadets and congratulating them on their efforts and turnout in the parade and听the session.
