I may have mentioned this before...
Anyone else going to be having as much fun as me?
Hopefully we'll come away with a medal; actually, hopefully we'll complete it...
Packed my bergen for it, and my webbing. Just need to be issued my long silly weapon and ammo, then I'll be set. At least I'm not carrying as much as a rad-op...
Wish me (and my team) luck, we'll be needing it.
I don't have to wish you luck - you'll get that medal win or lose if Sombody Else wins it. Good luck anyway and have a blast.
Go brother! :army:
I want to hate the puns, I really do, but I can't.:shame:Quote:

That would have been fun.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
I'm... slightly stiff at the moment. Had some sleep though, so not so tired anymore. That was tough.
Unfortunately we didn't complete - we had a minor navigational error (old map, new bit of woodland) and then a vehicle contact (which shouldn't have happened - more below), which compounded it as we bugged out into the distance - ending up several km away from our next RV and hours behind time.
The vehicle contact: The 'enemy' were supposed to be a) in Russian DPM, and b) not to have night vision. We were meant to meet a friendly agent in the piece of woodland mentioned, we identified the wrong one, but there was someone there - in normal DPM - ie. what we assumed to be a friendly. No sooner was he met, then a vehicle turned up, and turned on the road, and pointed it's headlights directly at our section. Considering we were a couple of hundred metres away, lying down in the heather, at around midnight, that was a very very lucky guess, or they had NV.
Speaking to one of the guys running the event after we were picked up the next morning, apparently they have no idea who that was.
The irritating thing was, we were only about 5 hours from the end of the exercise, having done most of the tabbing and navving.
Incidentally. I am not joining the infantry. Defintely cavalry for me... Tabbing is not fun.
