Royal Marine Cadets Detachment Celebrates 3 Years!

What a fantastic three years it’s been packed with fun, laughter and challenges. Not to mention outstanding cadet progression.
The journey so far has been nothing short of incredible, and the future looks even brighter.
From drill nights to weekend adventures, community events to competitions, the cadets of Underhill Division at T.S. Iron Duke have shown true determination, spirit, and growth every step of the way. Officer in Charge Serena Wheeler shared her pride in the division, saying,
“Watching the Marine Cadets grow in confidence, skill, and leadership over the past three years has been one of the most rewarding parts of my role. I couldn't be prouder of each and every one of them.”
Detachment Commander Sergeant Mike Rooney added, “I’m extremely proud of the achievements the cadets have made since I assumed command of the detachment. Their commitment, enthusiasm, and progress have been inspiring to witness.”
Here’s to the past three years and to many more filled with success, growth, and unforgettable memories.

Cadets & Staff visit the Battle of Britain Bunker

Cadets & Staff visit the Battle of Britain Bunker

Cadets and Staff had the privilege of visiting the historic Battle of Britain Bunker, located on a former Royal Air Force Base in Uxbridge. This remarkable site, which played a pivotal role in the defense of Britain during World War II, provided an immersive and educational experience for all.

During the visit, cadets explored the underground operations room, where critical decisions were made during the Battle of Britain in 1940. They gained a deeper understanding of how RAF Fighter Command coordinated air defense, witnessing firsthand the meticulous planning and communication that took place in this very bunker.

The trip offered a unique opportunity to reflect on the bravery and dedication of those who served, reinforcing the importance of history in shaping our present and future. It was an inspiring and insightful experience that left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.
