M-Coy Training Camp

Allo allo! Sorry for the delay but finally i have some pix from the M-Coy Training Camp for you to feast on. The Training Camp took place from the 4th-6th of August

The Trainees (L-R) James Spiteri, Peter Pullucino, Martin Pisani, CZ and Ian Abela. Andrea Gerada was also present most of the time.

The boys during a Command Task, the task being to lift Martin up with their arms out stretched.

Martin looks pretty comfortable if you ask me!

Night Time is the best time at Camp. Not for the M-Coy that is! Instead of a nice warm cup of hot Chocolate they got a nice dose of PT! Well it was a Training Camp not a hot choco Camp.

As you can see the Training Camp was filled with lectures, skills practice, drill and PT sessions, a Night Navigation Exercise, a couple of medevacs, about 3 Command Tasks some games and fooling around - we didnt really sleep at all, about one hour in the whole weekend. Well the Training was quite intense but maybe it was a little step forward for the recruits, maybe finally they're starting to find out what Venture Scouting is all about...and i don't mean sufferage.

It's a pity Capt Bob couldn't make it, but he may show up for Summer Camp.

More Updates soon
