The course set off from Piramide, in excellent weather, and under the leadership of Colonel Stuart MacRostie \u2013 began the circumnavigation of Rome following the Aurelian Walls (<a class='photo' href='\/images\/119WallsWalk_2_2.jpg' rel='lightbox' title=\"Map of Rome showing the various walls.   SC 119 followed the Aurelian wall (shown in red) - Image courtesy of the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, San Francisco State University -\">see map<\/a>).  Not only is the event an opportunity to see parts of Rome one would not otherwise see and learn a little more of the fascinating history of the walls, it provides an opportunity to meet fellow members in a relaxed setting and walk, talk and get to know one another.  The group consisted of almost 200 people, which included the Commandant, Faculty and Staff from the College and Senior Course 119, guests from Naples, a large contingent from the British Embassy (including the British Ambassador to Italy), the British Ambassador to the Holy See and numerous family and friends.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The route followed its normal course and included the usual BBQ lunch at the British Embassy. At the Embassy gardens, Colonel Joe Wiley and his logistics team set up food and drinks to refresh the participants from the hot Roman weather. <\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">As this walk took place on the 10th Anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the USA, the Dean of the College, Dr. Richard Hooker, took the opportunity to say few words about 9\/11 and to hold a few moments of silence to remember all those who lost their lives that day.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The group marched on throughout the day in ever increasing temperatures and the walk concluded back at Piramide, safely, with 106 brave walkers finishing successfully \u2013 a total which we believe is a new record.  The day proved how popular the Walls Walk continues to be with each successive Senior Course. <\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>NDC Public Affairs Office<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior Course 119 Walls Walk group photo in Piazza del Popolo On Sunday 11th September 2011, SC 119<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"post_badge":[],"class_list":["post-11093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"NDC","author_link":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/author\/admin_3rwqf6tj\/"},"modified_by":null,"author_meta":{"display_name":"NDC","author_link":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/author\/admin_3rwqf6tj\/"},"featured_img":null,"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","trp-custom-language-flag":"","morenews-featured":"","morenews-large":"","morenews-medium":""},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/category\/news\/\" rel=\"category tag\">News<\/a>","tag_info":"News","comment_count":0,"coauthors":[],"tax_additional":{"categories":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/category\/news\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">News<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">News<\/span>"]}},"relative_dates":{"created":"Publi\u00e9 15 ans il y a","modified":"Mis \u00e0 jour 6 mois il y a"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Publi\u00e9 le septembre 12, 2011","modified":"Mise \u00e0 jour le janvier 15, 2026"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Publi\u00e9 le septembre 12, 2011 09:13","modified":"Mise \u00e0 jour le janvier 15, 2026 08:57"},"featured_img_caption":"","series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11093\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11093"},{"taxonomy":"post_badge","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_badge?post=11093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
