Training Update

Post by Gavin »

Bonjour all,
just a quick update on how its been for me so far. Passed Bottom field didnt do get the record (some lad a troop above me got 2:55 :o ), glad to have it back in the hands of a recurit rather then a pongo. Also just completed 'Dig Exe' which was for me a massive hang out! All stages were, the digging was hard and long FIWA and OIBUA quality best thing ive done so far. Yomping however espically with the GPMG was not a nice experience but all in all the amount you learn and get out of it builds up confidence in what your doing well it did for me anyway. Well have 6 weeks to focus on then the tests finally see light at the end of the tunnel, ill keep posting on progess untill then, Cheers.
