Royal Navy Presentation Team

Martin Rawles reports:

The Royal Navy came to Dunstable College to carry out their annual presentation to the Public Service Students on Monday 2 October.

A very thorough and in-depth lecture, which included the usual searching questions from the eager students, started the afternoon off. Next the group was split into two halves and one half was taken to the Leisure Centre to take part in the ever popular Unarmed Combat Demonstrations with some students soon becoming “volunteers”. The other half was given a demonstration in field cookery; students were taught how to cook in the field and soon ration packs were turning into hot steaming meals of beans and bacon followed by hot chocolate.

At the end of the day many students who had not considered the Royal Navy as a career became a little more interested and some were even adamant that this was the career for them.

Everybody agreed that the afternoon was a very enjoyable first visit from a Public Service and looked forward to the next one.
