August 29 marks a new chapter in the military training of Princess Leonor, who will continue her studies at the Escuela Naval Militar de Marín, located in Pontevedra.
At this stage, the heiress will be in command of the aircraft used by the new pilots, in addition to participating in the training cruise aboard the training ship ‘Juan Sebastián de Elcano’.
Princess Leonor’s Naval Training
The excellence that Leonor demonstrated during her time at the General Military Academy of Zaragoza, where she completed maneuvers “worthy of a cadet lady of her age”, has generated high expectations for her time in Marín.
According to sources close to the AGM, Leonor is expected to meet the challenges of this new stage with the same skill and commitment.
In Marin, Leonor will be immersed in an educational environment that emphasizes the development of nautical, tactical and technical skills.
Sailing simulators, pistol shooting exercises, scuba diving and first aid are just some of the experiences the princess will live in this specialized environment.
These activities will not only reinforce her military knowledge, but also prepare her for the challenges she will face in the future.
Comprehensive Social Media Monitoring
One aspect that has gained relevance in this new stage is the control over the use of social media within the Naval Academy.
After the experience in Zaragoza, where the use of mobile devices by students and military personnel has caused concern, a stricter surveillance will be implemented to avoid leaks of images or videos that could compromise the security and privacy of Princess Leonor.
Although there are already regulations prohibiting the use of cell phones during training and in other critical situations, the reality is that some students and military personnel still use them in training activities, which has been a headache for the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces.
This control measure seeks to protect the image of the heir to the throne and ensure that her training takes place in a safe and distraction-free environment.
Leonor, who has shown herself to be fully aware of her future duty, continues to move steadily forward on her path to leadership, backed by a strong sense of loyalty and sacrifice that, according to sources, “she was born for.”
