Basic Army Training - HAS FINISHED!!

Yes you read it right, the past week of the real basics was hard work but now its over! Im getting ever closer to the Guns maybe i shall actually get to hold one or even see one soon!!

Hope you are all having good weekends with your'e freedom, prison, sorry Training isnt treating me too well :-( But...

We did get to watch some TV today, well not live but a number of DVD's...

Today we spent the day watching Bear Grylls. As part of our training we are taught that once you’re in the army; you’re in for life. You look out for each other. Now Bear left the army for a career in TV showing his exploits as a survival expert.

BUT, hes a pussy.
He can’t do a single piece without it being set up. He’s never really stranded in the wild, he stays in hotels overnight. But being ex army we’re on hand to help out.
The Army approached the best there is, the great RAY MEARS. He sets everything up!
A stunt man is used for nearly all of Bear's shots; and sometimes we are those stunt men.
When the army are too busy to help out CGI is used.
Whether its parachuting, making shelter or cooking his food, it’s the Army that’s always on hand.

The Sgt. Majors saying actually got a laugh 'Only queers don’t like Ray Mears' BRILLIANT!! Even Lacey couldn't have thought that up.
Bet thats an eye opener for you, certainly was for me!
Hope everyone is well, speak soon and untill next week - goodbye

The Captain!
