22 new recruits join The RLC

By | 25th September 2019

Twenty-two new recruits have been welcomed into The Royal Logistic Corps with a prestigious Passing Out Parade at Prince William of Gloucester Barracks in Grantham.

The new recruits were welcomed into The RLC by WO1 Johnstone, Corps SM AR and Lt Col Gifford, CO 158 Regiment.

Army Training Regiment Grantham is located in Lincolnshire and is the British Army’s key location for training the Army Reserve Phase 1 recruits.

Basic training is designed to teach everything an Army Reserve recruit needs to know to become an effective soldier and fulfill their role within the Army Reserve. This includes military terminology, drill and how to wear uniform, to physical fitness, weapon handling, first aid, field craft and map reading.

The course is intense, challenging and enjoyable. For those who pass it concludes with a prestigious Passing Out Parade in front of family, friends and unit representatives.

The RLC ladies now field 4 of the 10 members of the Army Ladies Road Race Team and one of the 5 members of the Army XC MTB Team. Their list of achievements includes winning the Williams Cup in successive years (2018 and 2019), the only team to have their name on the trophy to date (taking into consideration the cancelled events in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID), they took second place in the Inter Corps Championships and numerous podium places across Senior, Masters, Grand Masters and the Team Categories every year. E-cycling popularity during the COVID restrictions, provided further opportunity to demonstrate their ability, with the RLC Ladies’ team leading the way in the Army Cycling Union e-racing series on Zwift. They have recorded consistent podium places and have been commended as the only Corps to field a full ladies’ team across the race series. The RLC fielded approximately a third of the ladies competing across the 2021/22 race series. ... See MoreSee Less
