Hello all! Sorry it's been so long since my last message. It's been absolutely manic over the last few days.
We returned back from Long reach at lunch time on Friday after what was effectively 70km in tough terrain in 35 hours, including 9 1hour command task check points and 5 unmanned check points. We completed the task in time, 33 hours, which was not as good as some of the other teams but we were happy with our result. It was not an easy exercise, infact it was one of hardest things I've ever done. Dealing with the exhaustion was difficult enough, but throw in the navigation, the command tasks and the below freezing temperatures at the top of the mountains made it almost unbearable. But we are all done and fully rested.
The last couple of days have been full with post exercise admin and lots more lessons. Including the first of our war studies lessons.
In a lesson last week we were asked to tell a joke in the lecture theatre in front of everyone, which I gladly did, but have unfortunately become the company joker, having to start and end major lectures with a joke. I'm not sure our company commander is a fan of some of my jokes but everyone else seems to love them. I just need to be careful not to get in trouble haha.
Anyway that's all for now. Speak soon!
