HANNAH Soar has completed the initial phase of officer training at Britannia Royal Naval College, in Dartmouth.
The 20-year-old joined the Royal Navy in April last year and hopes to become a warfare officer.
Her training has included ten weeks at sea in UK waters on an amphibious assault shop, HMS Albion.
Hannah, who is from Mapperley, went to the Becket School, in Wilford.
During her summer leave period, before setting off to sea, she helped to organise and completed a 290-mile charity bike ride from Land's End, finishing at London Bridge five days later.
"We raised �1,750, which was way above our initial aims," she said. "There was over �270 in our charity buckets and that went to Seafarers UK, whilst the remainder was donated to the Royal Navy and Royal Marine Charities organisation."
Midshipman Soar has returned to the naval college to do take the initial warfare officer's foundation course, which counts towards a degree in maritime studies.
