Cadets, Staff and Volunteers from the unit once again took to CVhatham Historic Dockyard for main Armed Forces Day Celebrations in West Kent. With our promotional stall and activities we engaged with the local public highlighting what we do and the experiences our cadets get. The Mayor of Medway also paid us a visit.
Forming up with the rest of West Kent District we also took part in the main parade too.
A hot but extremely worthwhile day was had by all.
On Tuesday 16th June we were pleased to welcom The Not Forggotten to the Unit. They are one of the UK's oldest military veteran charities in the UK and we share a common Royal Patron in HRH The Princess Royal.
Alyson Smith, The Community Fundraiser for the Charity started by giving the cadets and staff a history of the charity and what they do. This was followed by two veterans talking about their military careers and how the charity has helped them in civilian life too.
Lots of questions were asked by our cadets durig an engaging envening.
Thank you to the Alyson, Jules and Wendy for visiting us and we look forward to undertaking more activities with you in the future
Congratulations to our newest Cadet Sergeant, Riley, on his promotion. This is the pinnacle achievement in the Royal Marines Cadet Experience and the highest rank that our cadets can achieve.
Following an arduous weekend of assessments in Fieldcraft, Navigation and Weapons Handling Skills, his promotion was confirmed to him by the Officer Commanding RMC Support Company on Sailsbury Plain.
BZ on your promotion!
On Sunday 14th June 2026, some of our cadets attended the Mayor of Medway dedication ceremony at Rochester Cathedral. As one of the Mayor of Medway’s official charities it is always great to support these events.
Cadets and staff met with many dignitaries and also the Ambassador of Zimbabwe and they made us proud as they took the lead with the parade through Rochester High Street.
It is fair to say a big thank you to all the cadets, parents and supporters who persevered with the warm weather as timings changed throughout the day.
