Non-stop action at Crowborough Army Training Camp during Recruit Camp this weekend! 💪

From archery and air rifle shooting to stretcher runs, orienteering, and night exercises, our recruits tackled every challenge head-on. Teamwork, resilience, and leadership were put to the test - and they smashed it.

CDT Cicovacki said ‘I found the recruit camp to be an incredibly enriching experience, offering a fantastic opportunity to connect with people from other squadrons and hear about their experiences. The camp taught me valuable life skills that I’m certain will benefit me in the future. The weekend was packed with a variety of activities, each one more exciting than the last, and the entire experience was both challenging and enjoyable. It was a perfect balance of fun and hard work, leaving me exhausted but fulfilled’

Great effort from everyone who took part and thank you to all the staff that made it happen!
