Welcome! So here we are at the sixth Medics Rugby Challenge, the annual game between the Royal Marines and the Peninsula Medical Schools. The first game in 2009 was a draw, followed by a win for the Medics. ‘Royal’ have taken the honours over the past three years, so will the Medics manage to get one back this year? Since 2009, the event has raised over £100 000 and with the continued support of the local community and beyond, we are hoping to significantly add to that this year. The money raised will go to the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund (RMCTF). Please stay after the game for the auction and visit our website www. medicsrugbychallenge.co.uk to support those who have supported us. Take a look at the signed limited edition Brian Pollard print that is for sale and book yours through Homeframe or tonight at the game. It is a memento of what has become a well established sporting event in the two team’s calenders, as well as for the Plymouth Community and beyond, with all profits going to the RMCTF. Again we are honoured to have members of the Royal Marine Band Service with us this evening. Internationally renowned for the versatility of its Musicians and Buglers and the precision drill of its marching bands, fronted by the Corps of Drums, these men and women work closely with Royal Navy Medics and undertake casualty handling and patient administration when deployed. This year sees the end of the conflict in Afghanistan. The hospital in Camp Bastion closed at the end of September. Memories, some good and some bad,

will remain with those that were there for many years to come. I was privileged to be at the Opening Ceremony of the Invictus Games in September. A fantastic display of camaraderie between service and civilian, the result of a vision by Prince Harry. The noise was deafening; the cheering, the Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines, the volley from the guns of the Royal Horse Artillery. We all joined in with the cheering and then there was some flinching, followed by laughter, as we looked around to see if anyone of us had ‘hit the deck’ when the guns fired!

Welcome! I was only able to get to the afternoon of athletics at Lee Valley Stadium but that was even more amazing. I caught up with some of the guys I met as broken men on an operating table not that long ago and here they were about to show their wounds to the world and how they had simply bounced back. I don’t say ‘simply’ meaning that it was easy. I say it to show that although they had suffered life changing injuries, they ‘simply’ reset their goals, trained and were about to overcome all of that and more.

These informal gatherings are a great way to meet friends and colleagues, past and present, and keep in touch. The Medics Rugby Challenge, will continue to be played on the Tuesday before Remembrance Sunday each year. Next year’s game, here at Albion, will be on Tuesday 3 November 2015, so please put the date in your diary. If you have enjoyed this evening, please tell your friends and bring them along to next year’s game.

For some, the Invictus Games was the culmination of years of hard work in their chosen sport. I know that for others, the achievement was just to be there, participating in an event that they may have never even considered or tried before their injury or illness. Every participant was cheered whether first or last, regardless of which of our Armed services they were in or, indeed, which country they represented. Watching some outstanding, mind blowing performances, I couldn’t help thinking of how and when I first met some of these guys. From having to have everything done for them during their initial and then reconstructive surgery, through their rehabilitation, to performing on a world stage. Their pride at competing in and completing their event, or winning a medal, was palpable. It was very personal (and very emotional!). At this year’s Medics Rugby Challenge, that celebrates the 350th birthday of the Corps, thank you from those unfortunate enough to benefit from your generosity, for supporting this event and its cause.

Surgeon Commander Anthony Lambert OBE MSc MS FRCS (Gen Surg) Royal Navy Event Organiser

Commandant General Royal Marines I am pleased to be able to welcome you all to this, the sixth Medics Rugby Challenge. Since the inaugural game in 2009, this event has gone from strength to strength and is now firmly entrenched in the Corps’ extensive rugby fixture list. Not only a rugby spectacle, it is an opportunity for the service and civilian communities to come together and support a cause close to my heart and to many of you here. Over the past six years, this event has raised in excess of £100k for the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund (RMCTF). The RMCTF is the overarching Royal Marines charity and money raised can be use for very wide purposes; probably the widest of any service charity. We are here to provide a better quality of life to serving and former Royal Marines, their families and dependants. You have probably not been able to avoid the publicity of the first Invictus Games held in September. The brainchild of Harry Wales, these games provided an opportunity for many of our injured servicemen and women to compete in open competition, on a world stage. Within the GB team were a body of Royal Marines who typified the four elements of the Commando Spirit; Courage, Determination, Unselfishness and

Cheerfulness in the face of Adversity. Not only did they demonstrate the competitive spirit that still burns in these individuals, they also astounded many who wondered what they could achieve. Each exceeded the expectation of the many. So it is no surprise that our top priority remains caring for the bereaved families and the injured Royal Marines who bare the scars, both seen and unseen. There are 61 bereaved families and 256 Royal Marines with life changing injuries from Afghanistan alone; 180 of whom are manifesting symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a dynamic that is gaining momentum by the day. That is why I am delighted that last year saw the extension of the Royal Marines’ groundbreaking Trauma Risk Management system, or TRiM, to our veterans under the ‘TRiM for Veterans’ programme. We now have 60 members of the Royal Marines Association, from veterans to Mothers to Wives, trained as TRiM practitioners. These practitioners, and more will follow, will be able to take the lead in steering those Royal Marines who leave the Corps with mental illnesses to a better place. Of course, for an organisation such as ours, Afghanistan is by no means the only source of casualties.

Commandant General Royal Marines I n d e e d , we h ave t r a g i c a l l y l o s t f i ve extraordinary, irreplaceable Royal Marines in the last year; and over half of the 81 Royal Marines currently under the care of the Naval Service’s Rehabilitation Facility in Plymouth are there owing to non-combat injuries. In short, the need to care for our Royal Marines is enduring - it is not going to go away and will require sustained effort as long as there is conflict in the world and young people ready to meet it on behalf of the country. Our Corps will never forget, nor fail, a Bootneck in their time of need; regardless of whether they are serving or retired.

such as ours - they make the difference and their manifest ability is our centre of gravity. Finally, I would personally also like to thank you all, as friends of the Corps of Royal Marines, for your support; support that makes a real difference to our operational capability and the well-being of our marines.

Major General Martin Smith MBE Commandant General Royal Marines

In April of last year, 40 Commando Royal Marines, the final Royal Marines Commando Unit to deploy to Central Helmand in Afghanistan before the UK’s combat mission ends in December, returned to the UK. The Unit’s return marked the end of the Royal Marines’ 12-year contribution to this most demanding counter-insurgency campaign. A contribution that has seen the Royal Marines complete just shy of 15,000 individual six-month tours of duty; tours of duty that have demanded supreme feats of human endeavour, day in and day out. The achievement and sacrifice of the Royal Marines in this campaign have been truly exceptional; and have been recognised with 211 National-level gallantry and meritorious service awards. This equates to 13% of all the medals awarded in the campaign so far and an incredible 25% of all the Conspicuous Gallantry and Military Crosses – not bad for our small Corps, which makes up only 4% of UK Defence’s manpower. It is worth remembering in this historic year that some things never change, and the quality of the people we recruit into the Royal Marines is one of these. So the first enduring truth is that people are everything in a Corps

Peninsula Medical School I am delighted to welcome you to another match between our medical students and the Royal Marines. In this 350th anniversary year for the marines it’s an important opportunity to pause, reflect and celebrate their extraordinary record of sustained service to crown and country whilst taking pride in the special link with the City of Plymouth. I work regularly with marine medics at Derriford Hospital and our students continue to express interest in and in some cases follow medical careers within the armed services. At our Medical and Dental Schools we are committed to exceptional clinical learning, strong social engagement and world class research. The marines and the medics who serve with them offer outstanding role models of professionalism and commitment which are qualities we seek and expect in all those who are going to work with patients. The game tonight is a “friendly” but that doesn’t make it any less serious! I will of be cheering for the students and wish you all a very enjoyable evening.

Plymouth and Exeter Medicals Rugby Football Club

Last season saw a lot of change for the Peninsula Medical School RFC, now renamed “Plymouth and Exeter Medicals RFC”. With the split up of the medical school into separate Plymouth and Exeter Universities the club carried on the tradition of a Plymouth and Exeter based rugby team. Founded by a group of like-minded students in 2002 our club has grown from strength to strength. By 2008 and only the second season of the club having a full 5 year cohort of players to choose from “The Squirrels” came within a 120th minute drop goal of winning the national Medical School Cup. Not only were we on the radar but we were now competing with the best. Onto the scene came the Medics Rugby Challenge in 2009 and our medics team fought bravely to grind out a draw and then a win in 2010. As what often happens, clubs go through peaks and troughs and with the departure of a handful of Peninsula stalwarts moving onto the next step of their lives the

marines handed out 3 crushing defeats in a row. 2014 sees the 6th annual installment of the Medics Rugby Challenge. Last season was our most successful season since I have been here, both on the pitch and in recruiting new players and with this event coinciding with the 350th birthday of the Royal Marines, the Marines team will be keen to continue their winning ways. Who knows what will happen. On behalf of Plymouth and Exeter Medicals RFC I would like to thank everyone involved with making the Medics Rugby Challenge possible, in particular Surgeon Commander Anthony Lambert, without whom this event would not have come about. I hope everyone enjoys the evening and gives generously for a great cause. Cherish the nut. Jack Maynard Final Year Medical Student

The Button Cup As last year, WATERCOOLED SURF is delighted to be the major sponsor for the Medics Rugby Challenge this year in support of The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund. We are pleased once again to present the BUTTON CUP as the now perpetual trophy for this important fixture, which we are sure will be an exciting and hard fought contest. As some will know, the cup is named in the fond memory of Malcolm Button, a friend and former member of our staff, whose enthusiasm for and lifetime involvement with the game of rugby makes him a worthy candidate to be remembered in association with this worthwhile event. If he were here today, I’m sure we would all enjoy his “erudite critique” of the match! Regrettably, he is not here, but his cup is. He would be very proud. Peter Adams

UK Med Group It is well documented that, as I write this, the British will not have long left in Helmand province; leaving after many years of blood sweat and tears. My first deployment was on OPERATION HERRICK 5 and this was followed by time away with each successive tour by 3 Commando Brigade and on two of those I had the pleasure of working with “Doc” Lambert. I have just returned from being the Deployed Medical Director and I had the privilege to close the iconic Role 3 Hospital in Camp Bastion. A lot had changed in the 8 years since a tented field hospital was placed within Bastion. This hospital would develop into the “Best trauma hospital in the world” where, if a patient arrived alive, they had a 98% chance of surviving. A hospital where so many patients survived injuries, which the civilian consensus labelled “un-survivable”, the Defence Medical Services have had to look for new ways to classify the injuries they treat. The high survivability wasn’t just about the hospital, though. The whole process of patient care from buddy-buddy training within units, tourniquets, the Medical Emergency Response Team, all of which were prehospital; along with better imaging and understanding of injuries in the hospital, all played an important part. Thankfully, during my time, we were very quiet and the system was not tested as before. The final days of the hospital were very emotional. A week before we closed there was a ceremony of reflection where staff not only remembered patients and friends who had been through the hospital, but also the successes such as the first baby born by

innovative techniques developed in the Royal Centre of Defence Medicine. We shut at 1000hrs, local time, on Monday 22nd September 2014. Half an hour later there was a formal flag lowering ceremony, attended by UK and US together. As the hospital became empty I was able to walk through the echoing unit, stopping to remember all the successes, as well as some life changing moments, I had witnessed. Pleased to know that the Afghan National Army surgical team were now trained to take over the care within their own country and that the Role 3 would never be a hospital again; its job was done and its part in medical history secure.

Brian started painting shortly after moving to Devon, developing his own distinctive style of depicting the magnificent scenery of Devon and Cornwall. Long considered as one of the leading painters in the South West, Brian has also established a nationwide reputation – in a recent Plymouth Herald profile Martin Freeman described him as “one of the UK’s most popular naïve painters”. Over the years Brian’s work has received many favourable press reviews and been featured on television at both local and national level. Brian has exhibited widely throughout the country and his images have been used worldwide for cards, prints, calendars and jigsaws. Having already painted several commissions for the Armed Forces, Brian was delighted to be asked to produce a commemorative poster for this year’s annual rugby match between the Royal Marines and Peninsula Medical Students, which coincides with the Royal Marines 350th Anniversary. This poster, entitled ‘Medics Rugby Challenge’, is available in a limited edition of 500, each one numbered and signed by the artist.

Colonel Dave Kassapian It is always an honour for the Royal Marines Rugby Football Club to be invited to participate in the Medics Challenge at Plymouth Albion. The Corps always looks to put out its strongest possible side in what has become a benchmark fixture for us since its inception in 2009. As reigning Royal Navy Inter-Command champions for an unprecedented second year in a row, and with tours under our belts in the last 36 months to America, the Baltic States, Gibraltar, and Cheshire (!), Corps rugby remains in rude health, despite the inconvenience of having to work for a living! And that is without mentioning those high performing Marines who go on to represent the Royal Navy and Combined Services at home and abroad. Plymouth Albion deserve special mention for their continued hospitality and generosity, and also a personal thank you to Doc Lambert who remains the mastermind behind this great event. Quite apart from the high standard of rugby on offer, the support which the match has enjoyed over the years, despite some pretty inclement weather, never ceases to amaze and humble me in the same moment. Thank you for your continued support, and may the best team win, as they have every yearâ&#x20AC;Ś since 2011â&#x20AC;Ś..!

Port Regis Prep School THIS YEAR’S CHARITY IS THE ROYAL MARINES CHARITABLE TRUST FUND In recognition of the 350th anniversary of the Royal Marines, Benedict Dunhill, Headmaster at Port Regis in Shaftesbury, Dorset has announced that his school has chosen to support the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund as its charity this year. The school has a strong relationship with the Corps which began five years ago when former Royal Marines Jani Marok, Jim Bonney and Chris Butler started a programme of leadership training for the children. Links have strengthened further thanks to the common values shared between the Corps and the school and the Port Regis community is proud to be raising funds in support of the Royal Marines. Port Regis has an outstanding national and international reputation and claims Zara Phillips and Jasper Conran as two of its notable alumni. It is financially independent with all its major facilities built and in place, something very rare within the independent sector. Located in 160 acres of stunning Dorset parkland, it is within easy reach of Royal Marine bases in Poole, Portsmouth, Yeovilton and Taunton. Since the school already has all the facilities it needs to offer a world-class education, the Headmaster and his team can devote all their time and energy to nurturing and developing the children rather than participating in the facilities arms race which is so common in the sector. The school is keen to attract more RM families not only because of the Headmaster’s belief that they are the kind of children who would enjoy a Port Regis education but because the school is socially responsible in its approach. Benedict Dunhill believes that there is an element of payback owed to the armed forces on the back of the 9/11 wars. Port Regis’ financial independence permits him to address that directly and to offer substantial bursaries specifically targeted at Royal Marine families to make sure that the school’s fees are affordable for them. This is a good deal by any standards and if you throw in the fact that Port Regis is a national leader in preparatory education then you have an exceptional offer. Factor in further the number of scholarships habitually won to major public schools and you have the chance of further defraying the cost of private education. The school’s Bursar is ex-military and ‘gets it’ when it comes to making school fees affordable for military families. She is always happy to answer any queries regarding fees even if it is to help families who are simply trying to establish the facts. Please do feel free to call her on 01747 857802 or email bursar@portregis.com if you have any queries regarding fees. If you would like a tour of the school and to meet Benedict, please contact the Admissions Team on 01747 857800 or email: office@portregis.com. Motcombe Park Shaftesbury Dorset SP7 9QA

Ben Nevis Trek I have been asked now many times to write about my reasons for my wanting to yomp up Ben Nevis! So as to answer quite a few questions and requests I have decided to try and get it down on paper. As a little bit of back ground I will try explain a brief story about myself which will hopefully enlighten everybody to my thoughts.

I joined the Corps in 1994 but briefly left in 2001 having not achieved my potential, as I believed. The reasons for my leaving were personal. While I was a civilian I was taught many lessons as times were extremely hard but non-more important than realising I cannot ever give up on my dreams. At that time in my life I had just become a father for a second time and tried to improve on my fatherhood skills. However, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t providing for my family as jobs were few and far between. Eventually, with the blessing of my former wife, I decided to re-join the Corps. I knew then that whatever lay in my future I was going to aim high and try to become the best I could be. As I mentioned before I was a

father to 2 beautiful young girls and took this into consideration for choosing what I wanted to become. I chose the Mountain Leader Branch because of my previous experience and knowing that it was one of the hardest courses there was to do. I started my journey.

I re-joined the Corps in 2002 as a senior Marine. I very quickly found myself on selection and a Junior Command Course (JCC). In August 2003 I started training as a mountain leader (ML). this was the first step of my new career which led me to be the Mountain Leader 1st Class that I am today. I can say that the course was the hardest and most demanding thing I had ever done. I learned so much about Climbing, Mountaineering, Skiing, Leadership and most of all, how much I could push my body to its limits. With all this experience and training I found the next few years extremely busy and rewarding. I enjoyed teaching others and pushing myself harder than ever before. During the beat up to Operation Herrick 9 as a Sergeant of 2 Troop Whiskey

Ben United Nevis Kingdom Trek Medical Group Company, I realised that where we were heading wasn’t going to be like anywhere we had been or seen before. I knew that all the knowledge and experience we shared in the troop was going to be pushed to the limits. To this day I will always believe that all that was taught and learnt as a troop was the reason I am still here today. I have only ever been really happy when I was teaching lads out in the mountains or in Norway and what knowledge and experience we have is only ever really useful when shared with others. I find that when things get hard and the terrain and weather are against you, when you are a little bit hungry or tired, other people will be in the same boat. As a team you find the determination, strength of mind and the perseverance to continue because you don’t want to be beaten or feel weak. Its at this point that I believe the great are separated from the good and that feeling is like no other. It’s not about achieving on your own but with others. I found this out from being treated by the medics and lads carrying me off the battlefield. I found it out by being taken care of in hospital and having around 50 operations. I found it out going through my rehabilitation at Headley Court, 45 Commando Harden troop and Hasler Company RM. I found it out more recently by walking up Ben Nevis this year with an amazing team of lads and ladies who I hadn’t seen for months and in some cases years. I pushed myself to the limits again and I shared this experience with Mark Ormrod

and Jay Hare who had also been hit in Afghanistan. I set out on this challenge, hoping to reach the summit of Ben Nevis to say ‘thank you’ to all the people that had been there for my family and myself. It was made possible by all that I have mentioned before but with the added ingredient of some amazing, inspirational injured servicemen and women along the way.

It turned out to be so much more than what I have said before. It has become a springboard for the future. Hopefully, with support, I would like to undertake more challenges. Having been where I was, everyday has become a bonus but I also know that everyday will always be a challenge. I take that and raise it by doing more, pushing harder and achieving greater. I feel as good, if not better, than I did when I was teaching novices on the mountain. I know that with a little help nothing is impossible and you’re only as good as the last thing you do! I would like to thank you all for the amazing help, care and support you have shown my family and me from the bottom of my heart. C/Sgt Baz Barrett ML1

YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE MIGHT BE IMAGINING THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY HELP (believe us you can)

Together our challenge is to raise £6,000,000 by the 350th anniversary of the Royal Marines in 2014. It goes without saying that we seek to support our wounded and injured in any way we can. But we also seek to improve the quality of life of those who are facing multiple tours in high threat environments and are so very often forgotten. And we continue this support long after our people have severed their formal links to the Corps. Sadly, we also provide a death grant to the next of kin of any member of the Corps who has died in service.

To find out how you can support us visit www.rmctf.org.uk or to make a donation now, text ‘MARINES’ to 70300 to donate £5* *This service will make a one-off £5 donation to the Royal Marines Association minus your mobile operator charges.

Invictus Games The Invictus Games started for me in May 2013, at the Wounded Warrior Games in Colorado, USA. Prince Harry stated that the UK would hold a similar event for disabled military personnel in London in 2014. My first thoughts were; is this really possible? How could an International event in London for so many disabled athletes be organised in such a small space of time? My first job was to help recruit other nations.

I then had to find potential athletes from the Naval Service and veterans who were not only keen but had the fitness and ability to represent the British Armed Forces. In the early days there were questions about the nature of competition events but we eventually agreed to 9 adaptive sports. I spent the next month gathering the volunteer sportsman and offering taster sports events to as many as possible. Some, although keen, had not ever attempted certain sports and others not since school. Helped by the national governing bodies and Help for Heroes, the squad started to form from a lot of raw enthusiastic talent keen to compete,

along with some more seasoned athletes who were already competing to a high standard. In the first week of August team selections were made after all the training and trials for each sport. It was intended that the teams would be as inclusive as possible. For some it was for the good of the team, for others it was for the good of the individual. This is a protocol we follow in all selections for recovery sport and adventure. Team GB was 134 strong of with 34 athletes from the Naval Service, with a good spread across the spectrum of the nine events. You may have seen the Invictus Games on the TV and, like me, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so proud to see these 400 athletes representing their respective Armed Forces, and competing to such a high standard. The results speak for themselves. Team GB far exceeded all expectations and won many individual medals and all the major team events.

Invictus Games The media coverage of the British Armed Forces and particularly the Naval Service was outstanding. A number of charismatic and naturally gifted team members were selected by the BBC for extended exposure and coverage focusing on their own courageous journey from a life-changing injury on the battlefield, through the demands of recovery, to ultimate success in the Invictus Games. Many Gold, Silver and Bronze medals were won and personal goals achieved in London. Team GB easily topped the medal board. It must be remembered that behind that recent success has often been years of difficult and challenging recovery, which takes a lot of personal determination and courage. I have now watched men and women with profound injuries and

illnesses compete in the Invictus sporting arena. It is impossible not to get emotional when watching athletes who were not even expected to live due to their injuries let alone walk, run or swim again, and to watch this endeavour and success each and every day of the Invictus Games. This made even this seasoned warriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes leak uncontrollably at the achievements of the Naval personnel who never gave up, beat the odds and found they could still achieve success and self-confidence in themselves through the power of sport and competition. Well done Prince Harry. His concept and commitment made the Invictus Games the success it was. CSgt Marty Wilkin RM Naval Service Team Coordinator

Invictus Games The Invictus Games was the best week of my life; I have never been so inspired, entertained and humbled. Having been heavily involved in the promotion of the games, I knew better than most how huge and incredible they were going to be; but every aspect of the games surpassed my expectation. I was outclassed in my individual athletics events, finishing 5th, but they prepared me for the last event of the day, the 4 x 100m relay. Our team included three Royal Marines; myself, Andy Grant and Sam Stocks. I was still nervous though, at the thought of my injuries getting the better of me and my hands letting me down, resulting in me dropping the baton. However my exchange was good and the team went on to secure Bronze, narrowly missing out on Silver by 0.5 sec. On day 3 it was time for the cycling. I race ‘recumbent trike’, an event that has allowed me to rediscover exercise 3 years after my injury. In the morning there was a 1 mile time trial where I narrowly secured bronze by 0.19 sec over Cpl Paul ‘Vicey’ Vice MC. With Brits in 1st, 3rd and 4th, split by only 2.6 secs, we were confident for the 40 min race in the afternoon. Myself, Vicey and Rob Cromer-Hawke went

out strong, working as a team to build a dominating gap over the other racers. As we entered the second half of the race we realised it was ours to lose and brought ourselves to a comfortable but quick pace. At this stage, Vicey suggested we bring it in over the line as a team. I know we all knew in our hearts and minds that we had worked as hard as each other to get here, so that is what we did. As we crossed the line in joint 1st place we linked hands. The thousands strong crowd went wild and the BBC commentators where stunned. We would have happily taken any medal, or none for that matter, but in the spirit of the games they awarded us 3 Golds! Those are only some of the incredible moments I experienced that week. My experience is only one of the hundreds of competitors and one of the many thousands of spectators. A massive thank you to HRH Prince Harry for having the vision and to his team for making it a reality. Finally the biggest thank you has to go to the Great British public, who came in their thousands and treated us like rock stars making the Invictus Games the most incredible experience.

Sport and rehabilitation

Although I have now left the Royal Marines, the Marines certainly havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t left me. That drive to push myself, which was needed to even get into the Marines, is still well and truly a part of me. Sport has given me the right avenue to push myself. Initially I was aiming to become the worlds fastest single leg amputee over 10km. The world record is currently held by a Canadian who did it in 37:77. My personal best is currently 40:34. That record is now on hold. Another injured Marine, Joe Townsend, pointed out that the 10km race isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of the Paralympics and I should look at Triathlon

like him, if I wanted to compete on the world stage. I swapped my running blade for a pair of speedos and concentrated on my swimming and biking. Although this was good enough to get me on the Para-Triathlon talent squad (reserve team), it was still looking unlikely that I would make the grade in time for Rio. Then I heard about a little something called the Invictus Games. I had kept myself in shape after injury, thanks to the 10km training and triathlon, so was in all set to make my mark on the games. I won Gold in the 1500m and 400m and as a part of the 4x100m relay we received bronze.

Sport and rehabilitation I have received some funding from the Royal Marine Charitable Trust Fund and now I have a home gym. This has meant that when I have bad days and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get out of the house, I can still train. Sport has played such a huge role in my recovery and has gave me constant challenges. There is always something to aim for. After my performance in the 400m, the GB coaches pointed out that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t far from making the GB squad, in terms of times. If I concentrated on just the 400m, dropping the longer distances and triathlon for the time being, I could possibly make the Olympics. So now my goal has changed, again. Rio is an outside chance and I am going for the 400m. My chances are probably 0.01% but as a civvie 10 years ago, I was given those odds of joining the Marines. Watch this space!

Horseback UK To The Highlands… One thing that probably would not cross a young thrusting Royal Marine’s thoughts would be that of working with and riding horses in of all places, the highlands of Scotland. A daunting thought in itself, remembering those cold wet days on mountain training. However since 2010 elements from the Corps, the tri-services and the veteran community have visited Royal Deeside, Scotland and undertaken adventurous training packages with HorseBack UK.

Although by its name, HBUK indeed involves working within the equine world, it does incorporate a twist. Please now erase all thoughts of jodhpurs, a red or tweed jacket, a distant sound of a hunting horn, barking dogs and a somewhat over pronounced posh individual screeching “Trot on”. This is western riding, a relaxed yet exciting way to enjoy horsemanship and the great outdoors without damaging the knees, back or blowing out of the proverbial. The style of horsing is indeed that familiar to anyone who has visited North America however a Stetson hat, chaps and a hearty ‘Yeehaw’ are optional for any attendee.

This scenario would however usually be met in the same way as in unit/regt/company life here by the horseback staff with a quirky reply of ‘Chad’. Why such a military response you may ask? Well the charity is run by military or ex military personnel who have all themselves travelled the winding road to recovery and are well advanced in it. This is one of the values set out within the mission statement and part of the ethos of HorseBack UK, that of ‘for the boys/girls by the boys/girls’. Half of the time spent at HBUK is indeed working with equines but the other half includes, bushcraft, flyfishing, falconry, hill walking, drystone walling, gamekeeping, dog training, farming, land management, water management, malt whiskey distillery visit, wildlife crime prevention, National Trust rangering, watersports and shooting. Throwing into the mix a hearty dose of BBQ’s and evening social nurturing periods (having a wet together).

Horseback UK The Charity is proud to announce that its corporate enterprise is underway and proving to be a complete success. HBUK ‘Team Spirit’ is an entity within the organisation set up to create funds for the core work carried out by the organisation. But it is also to introduce individuals to other industries that they may be interested in post military career. ‘Team Spirit’ delivers leadership and team building days to corporate business introducing the transferable skills and thought processes learnt in the military. As well as highlighting the advantages to employing former military personnel. Top companies from within the oil and gas capital of Europe (which is Aberdeen) are heading to HBUK to sign up for bespoke packages and courses. Researched and trialled from two years ago to the current day ‘Team Spirit’ can boast collaboration and partnerships with Nexen, BP, Shell, Premier Oil, Forum and the John Lewis Group to name but a few. Yes, even retail are taking advantage of the wealth of knowledge facilitated by a military career. By integrating with the companies ‘Team Spirit’ is able to understand a little about the various dynamics within each business and industry including the various sectors within them. This is facilitated by members of the team being ensconced within the departments of the companies and even enables some team members carrying out training and research days to allow them to visit working environments. This can be anywhere from the shop floor of a well known retail giant to a multibillion pound oil installation platform in the North Sea. In keeping with the military views and approach this (time on reconnaissance is time seldom wasted)ethos grants the organisation the ability to deliver current, up to date, professional and bespoke packages to a wide array of clients.

We look forward to welcoming anyone interested in visiting us as well as seeing past visitors to our centre. If you would like to attend a package at HorseBack UK and/ or be involved with HBUK ‘Team Spirit’ all applications are to be sent via company request and endorsed by the medical chain. Groups are encouraged to discuss what activities they would like to engage with prior to their visit and inform the HBUK team accordingly. A full brief is available on request or held within the company office. Written by Jay Hare (Team Leader) Head Of Corporate Operations.
