We are well over half way through the course now and the days are flying by. The pace last week was relentless and the weekends do allow for a slightly slower pace, that said however after the day is done there is still washing, ironing, boots and kit prep for the next day to do. As well as the ever present revision.
Today we had our final first aid lessons and some practical work before we took our resuscitation practical test. The whole course got a green light which was fantastic so we just have the final theory test tomorrow and we can move on the CBRN training.
CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) covers the protection against such attacks. So we have lessons on the respirator ( gas mask) and chemical suits to undertake. This will culminate in a trip to the test facility where we will try out our kit against a room full of CS gas.
No training today as the legs ate quite tired as well as the mind. One of the corporals did offer to show us a 7 mile route taking in 7 of the largest hills in the area, but it didn't seem like a popular idea in the mess tonight.
Maybe tomorrow Corporal!
