Day 16 - half way there

The length of days almost make them feel like two. Anything before lunchtime is the day before in our minds.

We have reached the half way point and I am still here. All be it a very tired version of me. The last two days have been concentrating on choice of arm selection, which basically consists if being subjected to shiny presentations from all of the regiments and corps of the army with the intent of recruiting you later on. In a couple of weeks we will have to express an interest in two regiments which you will confirm subject to interviews etc.

We also conducted rifle shooting on the DCCT, which is basically a life size computer game, which I got the highest score obviously. We also conducted grenade throwing training and tests as well as a night navigation exercise in the rain.

We are now preparing for our first field exercise that leaves Friday, and then again on Tuesday for a further three nights.

We are still working hard as a team, working for the duty cadet which I had the pleasure of fulfilling today.

2 weeks and 1 day and I'll be back. Not that I'm counting.

Keep the texts and messages coming!
