Wednesday 17th November - Week 10
Grenadier Guards RRT
Yesterday on Wednesday 17th November the Grenadier Guards came to College.
It was interesting to learn that they they’re the guards who stand outside of bucking palace along with the Coldstream Guards but they also go to Afghanistan.
The first activities we did with the Grenadier Guards is what’s called an 'Ice Breaker'.
I think all of us were good at this as we've done this type of ice breaker before when we first joined college.
We then had a look at some of the guns they use out in Afghanistan. I found the sniper the most interesting.
After that we did two different team building exercises.
I enjoyed the activities with the Grenadier Guards and this also could be a job option for me when I leave college.

38 Signal Regiment
Two days ago on Tuesday 16th November the College took us to Manor Top in Sheffield, this was a trip to go and see the 38 Signal Regiment.
When we where there we found out a bit more about what they did and we also got to look at a bowman radio which we are currently studying in communications and technology. After we had a look at the bowman we had a look a few generators which the regiment worked on and some guns which used out in Afghanistan.
I found the trip very interesting and 38 Signal Regiment have invited us back so it was a very successful trip.

Sunday 14th November - Remembrance Parade
Four days ago on Sunday 14th November I took part in the Remembrance Parade in Clowne.
This parade was to show your respect for soldiers who had died fighting for us.
I really enjoyed the marching round Clowne and was happy to see quite a lot of people had turned up to watch and to also pay their respects.

Tuesday 9th November - Week 9
Special Branch
Today two members of the Special Branch (SB) counter terrorism group came into Chesterfield College from derby. They spoke to us about terrorism and the methods which the terrorist use before they attack, they also showed us a video which helped us to understand and visualise the sort of things they do. For example going around a big shopping outlet such as Meadowhall and take pictures of places where they are going to plant bombs these are usually busy places to cause maximum damage.
I found the talk very interesting and I’m now more aware of things going on around me and I'm also now thinking of Special Branch as a possible job option.

Wednesday 3rd November
Yesterday on the 3rd November the Royal Marines came to Clown College and took us for a fitness session. They firstly showed us a 20 minute video and then took us for fitness for an hour or so.
I really enjoyed the fitness session and found the video intersting as it gave a better insight into the marines and what they did. It was also good to get the chance to ask the marines afew questions, as i'm thinking about joining.
