I have been in a Chinook!



Just been in a Chinook! We flew in it to complete our three day battle scenario in which our instructors were the enemy and they were fierce. I'll never forget the feeling of flying high over the countryside before landing right into the exercise. What a day, too tired to write any more.

The RAF. It's a gas



The next three weeks are very different! We’re now in Regiment training learning how to deal with CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nucleur) warfare and doing proper battle exercises. Had a good first day with CBRN. We had to learn to get our respirators on within nine seconds. You really want to get this right when you're out on manoeuvres.
