It’s been great to see so much going on at Glasgow and Strathclyde UOTC and City of Edinburgh UOTC during the autumn term.
As well as lectures, seminars, labs and exams, the students have managed to fit in a great plethora of UOTC activity.
One particular highlight was Exercise Cambrian Patrol, which saw Officer Cadets complete a 48-hour course covering more than 60km with 25-35kg of equipment on their backs. We loved the film photos they took, very off-grid!
Students were also invited to take part in Exercise Mudmaster, a British Army off-roading championship hosted here in Scotland by 154 Scottish Regiment RLC. This gave the Officer Cadets a unique, albeit muddy, opportunity to hone their driving skills.
As well as plenty of training, the students haven’t missed the chance to let their hair down! Who doesn’t to dust off their glad rags?
