29 Gold Medals!!🥇

In an inter-unit swimming competition recently, four OCdts represented MSUOTC as they competed against various regiments of the British Army.

Competing in 2 individual events each, and 5 relay events, the boys displayed a dominating performance, scoring 125 points out of 130 and winning the competition overall!

Sports are a massive part of the UOTC and this competition shows the competitiveness and talent that MSUOTC can bring💪

Last week OCdts took a leap of faith for the Army Benevolent Fund and completed the 300ft bungee jump. Together they raised £850. We appreciate the ABF inviting us to fundraise for a superb charity that supports serving personnel, veterans and their families.

Hi, I’m Jacob. This year I’m taking on the role of JUO for Property and PRI (President of the Regimental Institute), which puts me in charge of the unit’s store and involves helping with property checks.

This will be my third year with both MSUOTC and the University of Salford; the latter being where I study Contemporary Military and International History, alongside my OTC commitments.

Over the last two years, the UOTC has helped me grow as a person and given me insight into army life, all while offering something extra to do alongside my degree.

I’m looking forward to seeing both new and returning faces this year. So, if you’ve got any questions, comments, or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Hi I’m Rob, your JUO Charities for this year. I am currently in my final year at MSUOTC and university where I study Military and International History.
I have greatly enjoyed my time at OTC, whether it’s from field activities and my 2 week trip to Germany on AT to my sports competitions in climbing and kayaking, where I am the current Army champion.
This year as JUO Charities I will be in charge of organising fundraisers and fun charity events for the unit, and as a JUO I’m here to be a helpful hand and a friendly face.

Hi my name is Alistair (but most call me Frenchie) and I’ll be your JUO Bar for the year!! This means I’m responsible for serving drinks to everyone while also managing the bar stock and its prices. I’m currently doing a masters in International Relations and this is my 4th year at MSUOTC.

Joining the UOTC has been the best decision I’ve made at university and I’ve been able to be part of so many amazing events like going sailing in the Canaries for the 2 weeks or going bungee jumping for charity. Outside of the OTC, some of my favourite activities include going to the gym, hiking, being at the pub with my mates or raving.

As JUO Bar and this being my final year at the OTC, my goal is to make it as fun as possible for everyone and help you guys out as much as I can so feel free to come chat to me about literally anything! Looking forward to meeting you all!!

Hi, I’m Josh (yep, another one!). This year I’ve taken on the role of JUO Adventurous Training. AT is my personal favourite opportunity the OTC gives you exposure to. I’d suggest that everyone gets involved in as much as you possibly can! This year I’ll be coordinating some of the AT, supporting anyone bidding individually to do AT through the army, and getting plenty of bookings in to get small groups out doing everything on offer.

Hi I’m George, I’ll be your JUO Sport for this year!

I’m going into my final year at UoM, studying Business Management with HR.

This year I’m aiming to get as many people involved in sport as possible. With the Army I have been able to do so many different sports: fencing, ice hockey, cross country and sailing!

In my spare time I enjoy rowing and athletics (both of which I do for my university) as well as cooking.

I hope to see many of you at our socials and sports throughout the year.

If unsure of anything please don’t hesitate to ask me!

Hi everyone, I’m Madz, and I’m so excited to be your President of the Entertainment Committee for this academic year! I’m heading into my second year of Adult Nursing at the University of Salford. After my first year at MSUOTC, I decided to swap career paths and pursue nursing, inspired by my exposure to BCD and the opportunity to network with medical professionals in the Army.
Throughout my time at UOTC, I’ve had the chance to get involved in some amazing Adventurous Training opportunities, including skiing and mountaineering, while also significantly expanding my fancy dress collection!
For me, the best part of UOTC has always been the social side and the lifelong friendships I’ve made along the way. This year, I’m hoping to bring some fresh ideas and exciting socials to the Mess, making Tuesday nights something everyone looks forward to!
My main goal is to create a fun, welcoming and memorable experience for everyone, whether you’re a familiar face or joining us for the first time.
I can’t wait to meet you all, get the socials underway and make this a year full of nights to remember! See you in the Mess! 🕺

Hi, I’m Jacob, a third-year Biochemistry student and your President of the Mess Committee at Manchester OTC. This year, I’ll be responsible for managing and coordinating the Mess funds and social events, including our Regimental dinner and Snowball. I’m really looking forward to putting these events on for you over the next year!

During my time at the OTC, I have had the opportunity to learn how to ski, travel to new countries and one of my favourite moments was being able to take part in and complete the 2026 Nijmegen marches. Outside of OTC, you’ll find me in the gym, hiking, playing rugby or at the pub with my mates.

I’m looking forward to making this years Mess events some of the best yet and hopefully creating plenty of good memories along the way!

Hi I’m Josh and I’ll be the SUO this year at MSUOTC. I’m a 3rd year Chemical Engineer at UoM and am a member of the Cricket society also so a lot of my summer is spent standing around in a field. I’ve had the opportunity to do a vast array of activities at the OTC; from gaining mountaineering and rock climbing qualifications in Scotland to playing rugby at RMAS for NWOTR. However my highlight has definitely been completing the annual Nijmegen marches twice and seeing no team member give up throughout the challenging event. Outside of the OTC I love to get out into the mountains as much as possible and get involved in any PT out there. As SUO I’m here as your point of contact to the staff and to be someone you can always talk to as well as distributing all the information you may need. I hope to sustain an environment in the OTC that is welcoming and professional. I can’t wait to work with you all this year!!!
