...and how long ago was that ?

Don't look at your watch !!

;D
 
That camp was all for the last week, the 2nd week is still at the Biv sites, the nights are still filled with little to no sleep due to century, fire drills and stand to's. I just got use to the sound of an arty-sim as my alarm clock every morning. Hear whistle then a big bang and you know its almost coffee time  ;D Best part is the day you go rapelling and over the zipline.. however swiss seats are not the most comfortable thing to be wearing all afternoon.

Setting up a roadblock for some scenarios


 
Ok, I get the point. I will use the spelling / grammar checker from now on.  :salute:
 
In my BOTP we got to use the camps for one night because the field was severly flooded.  May I say that I am extremely jealous and envious that recruits get to stay there.  :P  I think I found heaven there.

Tell me about it.  Our week in the field was spent in the bush, sleeping in hooches (and I use the word sleep very lightly)...

...and i had to go to school in chest-deep snow , barefoot and uphill both ways !!

maybe  get some time in before going " yeah back in the day....."
 
Oh, I agree, but regardless, it has changed since I did it (unless of course, this is a special case..)

Also, out of curiosity, how long do we have to wait before we're allowed to comment on how things are done differently now than when we did it anyway?
 
I experienced Farnham in '70...... (not '70s but 70)
going up and down the abandoned railway & plotting a map move to (or from) the ruins

lots has changed............ but it's still all the same :)


IMHO
