FS Joe Creamer who is a regional Marksman has taken his weapons training to another level by passing a Basic Coaching course.

Along with Sgt Andy Hudson from the CESATT team he travelled to Wattisham Airfield to take part in the course. In what proved to be an intensive weekend of training, FS Creamer was soon learning the basics of range safety and supervision and also marksmanship principles. He was also taught about the principles of zeroing of weapons and also how to run the different shooting practices.

It wasn't all practical work though, all the course attendees had to take a written exam, and also take a No.8 Weapons Handling Test. They were also assessed in coaching practices on the range.

FS Creamer can now assist with range practices and be of particular help to the range conducting officer.
