During my time with the Naval reserve, I spent a lot of time at Dartmouth, one of the world’s leading leadership academies, learning management and leadership techniques in a highly challenging environment. The training also developed a wide range of new skills, including firefighting, first aid and weapons handling. One of the most valuable lessons that I learnt was to approach any problem with a set of core values guiding my actions, such as self-discipline, courage and integrity.

I was responsible for the smooth running and high-quality of the social programmes provided at the summer school. I am also responsible for managing a team of Activity Leaders, giving them sufficient information to allow them to deliver a varied social programme that will appeal to the age and wide range of interests of the students. Quality control of the whole programme and the Activity Leaders was a key role, involving observing sessions and giving staff feedback and support. I was also responsible for organising and leading excursions, ensuring they are safe for the students as well as being educational and interesting.

As part of the Army reserves, the mission of EUOTC is to develop the leadership of potential officers for the Armed Forces. Membership of the EUOTC demands integrity, hard work, and the desire to lead and to be led. Those who decide to join the EUOTC must aspire to further enhance their leadership capabilities. For instance, OCdt’s must either command or act inside a section (a group of 8 to 10 men) in extremely challenging circumstances, whether it be coming under enemy fire, dealing with the cold or lack of sleep, however through clear communication, team-work, and individual skills the challenges can be tackled effectively. Personal fitness and sporting opportunities were a large part of EUOTC. I played a lot of Hockey and we won the Army National Hockey Championships 2 years running. Rock climbing, mountaineering, skiing, rifle and clay pigeon shooting and mountain biking are a few of the activities I got involved in.

My key responsibility was to check parts to ensure they were built to the right quality and involved the continued improvement of the “First Article Inspection” procedure. I was also responsible for the development and implementation of new tracking software. Time management skills were essential in this role to enable me to meet deadlines, as were organisational skills as I may have many different tasks ongoing and need to keep on top of all of them. As the tasks also required communication to people both within and outside the company, excellent communication skills were important.
