The release is of course this one:
The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst located in Surrey is where all officers in the British Army are trained to take on the responsibilities of leading the soldiers under their command.
More than 80 percent of officer cadets are university graduates, but some arrive with A-levels or equivalents.
Others are serving soldiers who have been selected for officer training, and some come from overseas, having been chosen by their own country’s army to train at the world famous Academy.
People cannot undertake training at their own private expense.
The Commissioning Course for Regular Army officers is 44 weeks long, including recess periods. It runs three times a year, starting in January, May and September.
Various coloured lanyards are worn for each division with the Sovereign's having muti coloured ones on pass out .
Sashes worn by some are Rank Markers with some having epaulettes having braid denoting Junior Under Officers
The Army Reserve course isshorter, as is the training course Sandhurst offers military personnel with professional qualifications in areas such as law and medicine.
Training at Sandhurst covers military, practical and academic subjects, and while it is mentally and physically demanding, there’s also plenty of time set aside for sport and adventurous training.
It’s a proud day for officer cadets going into the Regular Army when they finally march up the steps of Old College to be commissioned as officers at the end of the prestigious Sovereign’s Parade.
During the ceremony, the Sword of Honour, the Overseas Sword and the Queen's Medal are awarded by the Sovereign's Representative to the top Officer Cadets.
The parade traditionally ends with the Adjutant riding his horse up the steps of Old College as he follows the graduating Officer Cadets through the Grand Entrance.
