Summary

Description
English: Award of Champion Recruit for Douro Platoon to 10 Spr Brooks, CIS Tp, 8 Engr Regt.

Soldiers of the Army Reserve from a range of civilian backgrounds have marked the end of their basic training with a pass off parade inspected by Chelsea pensioner Colin Thackery. Colin, who won BritainÕs Got Talent 2019 inspected the parade and took the salute in front of proud families and friends. The parade marked the successful completion of basic training. This includes 10 days of either consolidated or weekend training alongside a distance learning package and culminates with a 16-day residential training course at the Army Training Regiment (Grantham), Prince William of Gloucester Barracks. The course is designed to teach everything an Army Reserve recruit needs to know to become an effective soldier and fulfil their role within the Army Reserve Ð from military terminology, drill and how to wear uniform, to physical fitness, weapon handling, first aid, field craft and map reading. Following the pass off parade, the soldiers who have joined Army Reserve units from a variety of cap badges and Corps, including the Royal Logistic Corps, Intelligence Corps and the Royal Army Medical Corps, will return to their units to complete their initial trade training. The course is delivered by the Army Training Regiment (Grantham) whose instructors have been specially selected and trained for their role. Their main task is to lead recruits through their training and assist them with passing all aspects of the course. All soldiers of the Army Reserve are paid whilst training. The pay scale is based on what a Regular soldier with the same job and rank would receive. Pay is increased as a soldier gains experience and promotes.
