How we support

The Sea Ranger Service is committed to creating employment opportunities for ex-servicemen and women. This is primarily as bootcamp instructors, as well in all other vacancies in the Sea Ranger Service. Focus during the bootcamp training is on team building, survival techniques and personal development. Veterans have developed the training methodologies now used to train and select new Sea Rangers and through their involvement, veterans can share their leadership and team working skills with a younger generation.

What veterans say

  • "The Sea Ranger Bootcamp was a fantastic experience not just for the participants, but for my instructors and myself too. It was amazing to see how the participants all grew and changed over the 9 days. I was so happy to be part of this and it gave me such an amazing amount of fulfilment knowing that we were helping to change their lives!"

    — George Turner
  • "I like to work with young people. Everything I have learned in my life I can now pass on to them."

    — Ed Bergman
  • "Like the boundless ocean, the synergy of working with the vibrant Sea Ranger Bootcamp participants over eight days is a wave of inspiration, where each young mind becomes a beacon of innovation, guiding us towards brighter shores together."

    — Rob De Silva
