The bonds made at Sandhurst are also useful to the UK, not only in defence diplomacy but when things go wrong, and when British troops need to deploy abroad there is usually a friendly face who knows their ethos well. Despite its long history and traditions, Sandhurst moves with the times, Gen Capp said.
Civilians are craving authentic, honest, leadership by people who've got integrity. So I think Sandhurst is probably more relevant than ever. That crossover has been particularly evident in the crisis triggered by the pandemic that brought much of the UK to a standstill for parts of Frontline National Health Service workers told The National at the height of Britain's Covid crisis that their bosses should have called in the military far earlier. When they did, the officers provided "resilience in leadership through a crisis that was unprecedented", Gen Capps said.
With ISIS an increasing threat and conflicts continuing, the most recent Sandhurst graduates will no doubt find their leadership tested in the years to come.

Abu Dhabi National Aquarium: photos from opening day. Week The Last Hurrah 1 September, - The last week of Sandhurst, this is a full week of drill, so if I am going to try and drag this out into another weekly blog, it could be somewhat of an effort. So I shall just talk about the only day that matters… and then the worst morning of my life!
We are spending an increasing amount of time on the parade square. OK, so the title does not sound as exciting or sexy as a helicopter lift into enemy territory but it is possibly, in fact it is definitely, the most important part of my job as a platoon commander. Week EndEx, Berets and Champagne! Long insertion tabs with half the world on your back, night raids, fighting in cave systems, storming urban complexes, having tanks in your platoon orbit, attacking two towns, black hawk casualty evacuations and the ominous Bavarian summer!
The exercise was too packed. This activity includes a firing package, RSOI and deployment into the final exercise of the commissioning course, all of which is held in Germany. The exercise is meant to somewhat relate to an operational deployment, as we fly with the Royal Air Force and then … Continue reading Week Ex Dynamic Victory Week In the wake to Dynamic Victory 2 August, - Week thirty-nine, the week before Dynamic, all spare time is given to moulding our new berets which we will be presented in three weeks time on EndEx of Dynamic Victory.
We kept looking at integrated operations and counter insurgency; after a while at Sandhurst you gradually begin to realise that insurgency may not be our greatest threat, but it is most certainly our most consistent one! Last push now and then all things going well, that range qual is mine! At the end of this week we also get a long weekend, maybe not so much a long weekend home as it starts friday afternoon and finishes sunday evening, so to many it is … Continue reading Week Still going Range Qual strong!
Week Range Quals… 6 July, - There is no way that I can physically make range quals sound fun. It is not. It is totally and utterly boring.
If I am honest, I struggle at the best of times on a sunday evening to compile my thoughts on the week and to try and jazz them up. We deal with a small amount of public order training too; for a third of this phase we are kitted up with riot gear, head to toe with batons, shields, body armour and more. The type of week that we have had is what many Officer Cadets class as the perfect week, a fine balanced mixture of physical exercises, fieldcraft, lectures and platoon lessons.
I say that but my training will not be complete then, not by a long shot! But, I will most definitely be commissioned and out of Sandhurst! For the majority of our party we had never climbed before starting the course, and two of the five were not the most comfortable with heights.
The saying on the streets is that intermediate term is effectively the end of our development, of course we will still grow in our own … Continue reading Week The end is near… Week We are out of here next week!!! An incredibly fun week by all accounts.

In human terms, this is all about leadership within a moral and ethical framework. Normandy scholar is an academic exercise, considering tactics in a historical context.
We have been studying the Normandy campaign for the past few weeks by now. I will never say that about Sandhurst, but if I found something good about this week then there would seriously be something wrong with me. It is pure and utter hell. I hated every second and never want to relive it. Media Test New media New comments Search media. Reviews Book Reviews Latest reviews Search reviews.

Leave from Sandhurst. Thread starter whodat Start date 3 Jan Just a quick question for those in the know When at RMAS how many weeks of leave do you get between terms? Also during terms 2 and 3 are you able to leave at weekends? Shifty17 Old-Salt.
As for leave weekends there is rather less info floating around. As far as I can tell from speaking to a few officer cadets there are designated leave weekends distributed throughout the terms, other weekends you are to remain at Sandhurst. With any luck someone with rather more experience of these matters will be along to clarify. Hope that was of some help though. Sanguis Clanker. Short answer? Shite, simples. Long answer: The actual amount of leave varies between terms and intakes.
Very rarely you will get three weeks of leave at the end of term but mostly its just two. The exped etc. I mean really? That way you up your chances of getting on an enjoyable course like skiing.
As for weekends, you are supposed to get three in a term.
