Tiah-Paige Davie (2017)
Tiah-P went on a record number of CCF courses whilst at Gresham's:
1. Diving. With 3 week's left of the term I was told, by a very worried, Navy Commander (Staff) that he didn't think TP would get her 200m swimming qualification - a requirement for the course - and wanted me to get her to withdraw. Apparently, one morning, she went to her swim training session and she just could swim! She loved the course, Portsmouth, and has a Navy Diving qualification in Ocean diving to 20m.
2. Round Scotland sailing. 7 cadets and 2 instructors sailed round Scotland. TP now has a Competent Crew qualification.
3. Band Camp. Dartmouth this time. Very disciplined but loved it. In charge of the cymbals.
On these trips she quizzed the baby personnel and went to the Services Careers Office in Norwich and she's joining the Navy. Officer level, 70 UCAS points. She may take a Gap Year, working with charitable or humanitarian projects or considering contacting the Tall Ships Trust.
Her ambition: Warfare Officer - controlling offensive & defensive action on-board.
She was also, of course, a Petty Officer.
