Two Junior NCOs from the British Army talk about their experiences of the Armoured Close Recce course in Warminster back in December 2023. In recording this, I was struck by the professionalism with which these two young soldiers handled themselves. Accutely aware of their own inexperience, their own failings, as well as the legacy they had to live up to. Their lack of fear in confronting these challenges marked – to me – a huge humility in them, and a self assurance in their abilities and their instructors. Kudos to the senior NCO team at Warminster for delivering to junior NCOs the kind of discipline, freedoms and confidence that means they are the envy of many other militaries. This is not something create overnight – it takes a culture of excellence, of focused determination, and of belief in the next generation. And they seem to have all that in spades.
