On Friday afternoon the Contingent travelled to Stover school, Newton Abbot were they were invited to take part in a paintballing lane ran by the regional training team. 

In preparation for the event the cadets, under the watchful eyes of an ex- student - Cadet S.Sgt. Cassie Lynch, practised Patrolling, Fire and Manoeuvre and Target Identification. Once ready they were given their weapon systems, and started patrolling the beautiful nature trail at the back of the estate. During which they mostly correctly identified and suppressed a number of targets with paintballs. 

For cadets the focus of the training was on working efficiently as part of a team and clearly communicating any change in circumstances, skills which will serve them well as they move forward in life.

Overall it was a lovely afternoon in the sun surrounded by some beautiful scenery, a good time had by all.
