This is a reminder for all Level 3 cadets.
Wednesday 10 December, 2014 will be your first opportunity to demonstrate your instructional abilities through an assigned lesson. For those of you that missed the lecture last week please ensure you see LT Russell at some point during the parade night tonight (Wed 3-Dec-2014) to get an overview of expectations and receive your assigned lesson.
All level 3 cadets are expected to advise Lt Russell on all the resources they will require during the lesson. Every class should require a minimum of 1 training aid.
Please come see Lt Russell with any questions or concerns about your assignment.
Level 4 Cadets are expected to review and follow the QSP and IG for EO C303.02 – Deliver A Presentation About A Leader.

Remembrance Day Poppy Memorial Tower of London
Please click on above link for a time lapsed video of the Poppy Memorial at the Tower of London in England.
“The Telegraph filmed a time-lapse of the field of poppies from 06.30am to 5pm on Tuesday as huge crowds paraded past.
The memorial, which was created by artist Paul Cummins, includes 888,246 ceramic poppies which have been progressively filling the Tower’s moat. At the peak of the installation on November 11, there will be one poppy for each British fatality in the First World War.
Up to four million people are expected to have visited the installation, called Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red.
A team of 11,000 volunteers will begin removing the display on November 12, with the proceeds from the sale of the poppies being split between six charities providing support to service personnel, veterans and their families.” – www.Telegraph.co.uk
