New Recreational space for trainee Submariners

NEW REC SPACE FOR TRAINEE SUBMARINERS Budding submariners undergoing training at the Submarine Qualification Centre, at Devonport Naval Base, can now take a break from their lessons in a newly refurbished recreation area thanks to a grant from the Royal Navy’s Re-balancing Lives Fund. The grant of £2,400 has paid for new furnishings including settees, cabin chairs, a dining table and chairs and other amenities such as a fridge freezer, microwave, kettles, am Ipod docking station, dartboards and a DVD player complete with a selection of DVDs. Chief Petty Officer ‘Apples’ Appleton said: “The students are resident in Raleigh Block, HMS Drake, during their demanding 10 week course here. The money we have received from the Re-balancing Lives Fund has enabled us to enhance the living environment of the students, boosting their morale and putting them in an improved frame of mind for learning.” Captain Justin Hughes formally opened the new recreation space during a visit to the Centre. He also presented course certificates to the latest group to complete training. The Submarine Qualification Centre is a satellite of the HMS Raleigh based Royal Navy Submarine School. During a 10 week intensive course students are taught how the submarine's systems work and all the routines carried out onboard. They learn everything from the technical detail on how the boat dives and surfaces, to how the nuclear reactor works to drive the submarine. On completion of this stage of their training the students move on to a period at sea on board an operational submarine where they put everything they’ve learnt into practice. Once they reach the required standard and pass the tests at sea, they will be presented with their dolphins, the coveted emblem of the submarine service. Grants from the Re-Balancing Lives funds are designed to assist with small one-off projects or equipment to help improve working conditions, ways of working and improve morale for personnel within Fleet *** Lo

Raleigh Sailor Commended For Life-Saving Response

A Royal Navy Petty Officer has been commended for his quick response in administering life-saving first-aid to a visitor at HMS Raleigh. Petty Officer (PO) Paul ‘Ticker’ Tock was on duty looking after the Royal Yacht Squadron during their stay at the Royal Navy training base in Cornwall. As well as planning for the high profile visit, PO Tock made sure he was available throughout the squadron’s stay and was first on the scene when one of the Yacht Club members, Mr Keith Topley, started to choke. PO Tock immediately took charge of the situation and his life-saving actions have earned him the award of a commendation from Rear Admiral Clive Johnstone, Flag Officer Sea Training (FOST).

Instructors from the Defence Food Services School are putting the finishing touches on the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee cake ahead of the Diamond Jubilee Parade and Muster at Windsor on Saturday 19th May. The five-man team have been working in secret on the enormous 90kg commemorative cake for the past eight weeks at Worthy Down Camp in Hampshire. The hand-painted pastillage sugar crown has taken two weeks alone to make, and weighs a kilo. In total the chefs have used 30 kilos of icing sugar to dress the cake, while a bespoke cake tin had to be made especially to bake the vast 50kilo bottom tier, with a reinforced cake stand also having to be made to withstand the weight of the mighty cake.
