It will show you how one of the best management training programmes in the world prepares you for leadership. It will give you an idea of what you can expect from an Army career. Becoming an Army officer is a big decision. But no matter which unit you hope to join, whether you want to stay for the long term or go on P18–27 to do other things, few other choices you can make will offer you so much in return.

The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst is the place where officer cadets learn to become leaders. They are taught military skills and the different contexts in which to apply them – and about what it means to lead soldiers. Over 80 per cent of the officer cadets who arrive at Sandhurst are graduates, but as Tim Jarvis found out, the Royal Military Academy provides a very different learning experience: “I come from a completely non-military background. Before I came to Sandhurst I’d been at university, which is about as different a learning environment as it’s possible to get. “There, you spend years becoming an expert in one subject. What Sandhurst teaches you is that the best officers do everything well, not a few things perfectly. There’s no point mastering weapons handling if you can’t use the radio. “So when you start Sandhurst you’re at the foot of a very steep learning curve. But everyone is in exactly the same position so you all start climbing it at the same time.” THE SANDHURST EXPERIENCE “In military academies around the world you’re taught by other officers.

It is worth taking stock of what has been achieved so far, and ensuring that our direction of travel continues to be understood by the Army. This comprehensive update achieves this purpose well and should be read widely. I wish to highlight four particular points: • Our success in establishing Defence Engagement as a core Defence output. Not only will this enable us to make a crucial contribution to conflict prevention, but it will enhance our contingent capability by developing our understanding. It will also give the Adaptable Force a challenging focus in addition to enduring operations and homeland resilience. • We must be clear that our capacity to influence overseas is founded upon our credibility as a war-fighting Army, capable of projecting force anywhere in the world.

  • Profiles in Service CELEBRATING LONG-TIME ACADEMY FACULTY and STAFF from the BOARD CHAIR
    SUMMER 2019 SABER FEATURE Profiles in Service CELEBRATING LONG-TIME ACADEMY FACULTY AND STAFF FROM THE BOARD CHAIR In this issue of Saber, we pay homage to long-time faculty members who have invested themselves and their careers into our cadets, their colleagues and the Academy. Like those who have served before them, these faculty have taught, inspired and shaped thousands of young men into ethical leaders in the community. Last year, we welcomed Father Mark Pavlak as chaplain at Saint Thomas Academy. Fr. Mark has also benefited from the “Brotherhood” at the Academy, finding a friend and mentor in long-time staff member Joe Seidel. Fr. Mark has worked closely with Joe on students’ spiritual development through campus ministry activities, service work and the sacristan committee. I’ve invited Fr. Mark to share his experience and how Saint Thomas Academy is guiding boys in their faith journey. Daniel E. Kubes ’87 Chair, Board of Trustees Dear friends! Well, I survived my first year of teaching morality to sophomore men (I’ll let you imagine the kinds of questions I received), but what a grace-filled year it was! Thanks in large part to the mentoring of long-time faculty members Joe Seidel, Kevin Zenner, and many others, I now have that pivotal first year under my belt. My hope for the upcoming school year is to devote more focus and attention on our Catholic identity here at Saint Thomas Academy. Here is what I offered last school year, and what I plan on offering again this coming school year: daily Mass (either before or during the school day), confessions three times a week, Father’s Club and Mother’s Club Masses each once a month, our monthly all-school Mass, and we also hope to continue our monthly Eucharistic Adoration in the chapel.

  • Royal Military Police Old Comrades Link up Newsletter #157 July 2020
    ROYAL MILITARY POLICE OLD COMRADES LINK UP NEWSLETTER #157 JULY 2020 YOUR CORRESPONDENCE Continuing from last month here are more Publicity Stories. First up is another one from Cyprus under the heading of, “Hoylake Military Policeman on Duty in Cyprus”. According to Gilbert and Sullivan: “A policeman’s lot is not a happy one”. A policeman who would disagree with that is Staff Sergeant Alastair MacKinnon (33) who is serving with the Royal Military Police at Dhekelia in eastern Cyprus. Alastair would be the first one to admit that service on a Mediterranean island makes his lot a happy one indeed! Alastair’s mother lives at (address withheld) Hoylake, Cheshire. Before he joined the army in 1955 he pounded the beat as a police constable in Edinburgh, he is now a highly trained military policeman with specialist qualifications in special investigation and clerical matters, at present he is NCO in charge of his unit’s charge and reports section. He was promoted to his present rank in November 71. Aaistair chose the army as a career to follow in his father’s footsteps, the late Mr MacKinnon served as a captain with the Royal Military Police. Military police duties in Cyprus include everything from crime detection and prevention to VIP escort duties and ammunition guards - all over a ‘beat’ much bigger than you would find in any town or city. On the advantage side there is the beautiful island with one of the best climates in the world. Alastair’s home is less than a mile away from the blue Mediterranean.
