It was a sh*t exercise!!!
Even our CO said it was one of the worse exercises ever.
To be perfectly honest the best exercises are the ones you do in depot. Fully tactical, loads of ammunition, good scenarios, proper orders with models and its obvious alot of effort goes into those exercises. You just dont get the same feeling about exercises in Battalion. Most of the blokes feel its a ballache going on exercise, whereas in depot i used to love it...didnt have to press your uniform or shine your boots for days which is why i liked it!
Overseas exercises are good though. From the blokes who have been abroad alot i gather its quite different from UK exercises. Plus there is usually some R&R to be done, which for the guys who went to Kenya was in South Africa!!
