🏆 History Made for Gosport Division RMVCC! 🏆

Today, Gosport Division RMVCC made history by winning their first-ever Field Gun Run at the Southwick D-Day Revival with an impressive time of 1 minute 49 seconds.

This is the first Field Gun Crew ever formed by the unit, making this achievement even more special. The team also debuted their new pink Field Gun tops, ensuring they certainly stood out from the crowd!

A huge congratulations to all of the cadets involved. They have worked incredibly hard, shown outstanding determination, and demonstrated what can be achieved through teamwork and dedication. Field Gun is one the most physically demanding and challenging team sports, and every member of the crew should be immensely proud of their achievement.

Well done to everyone who supported, trained, and encouraged the team along the way. This is a fantastic milestone in the history of Gosport Division RMVCC and hopefully the first of many successes to come.

🇬🇧🇬🇧 A Moment in British History 🇬🇧🇬🇧

For the first time ever, cadets from the Gosport Division Royal Marines Volunteer Cadet Corps , alongside fellow units from across the Volunteer Cadet Corps , have made history.

They became the first Cadet Force to conduct the Ceremony of the Dues at the Tower of London taking part in a tradition that has stood for over 700 years.
This incredible achievement didn’t happen overnight.

Over 100 cadets spent four days at Woolwich Barracks, undergoing intensive training, rehearsals, and preparation to ensure they were ready to represent the Corps on such a historic stage.

Their dedication, discipline, and teamwork have been nothing short of outstanding.

To see our cadets step forward and play a role in such a significant moment in British history is something we will never forget.

A 700-year-old tradition.
A 125-year-old organisation.
One unforgettable moment.

We are incredibly proud of every single cadet and volunteer who made this possible. Your hard work, commitment, and professionalism truly showcase the very best of the Volunteer Cadet Corps.

With 125 years of history behind us and the next generation leading the way forward, this is just the beginning.

Here's to another 125 of making history !!!!

And that a wrap to the end of the year

What a great day we had down on the ranges! 🎯

It was fantastic to see all the hard work the cadets have put into learning how to safely and effectively operate the Cadet Scorpion air rifle. That effort really paid off as we spent the day shooting on HMS Sultan’s indoor range.

After a morning spent zeroing and building confidence with the rifles, it became clear we had some very strong shots. Because of this, we ran Gosport Division Royal Marines VCC’s first ever shooting competition within the unit.

The competition was a 5-shot grouping, and after some excellent shooting it came down to Cdt Cpl Jones and Cdt Power, both achieving an impressive 10mm group.

A final 3-shot shoot-off was held to decide the winner, and with a phenomenal 6mm group, congratulations go to…

🥇 Cdt Power 🥇

What a phenomenal way to end the year — we’re already looking forward to next year and many more range days to come! 🎯👏

📢 We will be recruiting MARCH so please if your interested email in to [email protected]

Footnote: Cadets are taught weapon handling skills as part of a structured programme of supervised training by qualified and competent serving and/or volunteer personnel that emphasises safe and responsible use.
