Bristol University Officer Training Corps is one of 18 OTC's offering a taste of military life this summer.

For the last fortnight they have been training in Cyprus on their annual summer camp.

More than 140 members have been practising their marksmanship on the ranges at Dhekelia, with some firing different weapons for the first time.

More than 30 percent of students from this particular OTC go on to join the regular army or the reserves.
