Opn Human Pyramid + Opn Trident Pt I
22nd-24th June
Last weekend we held a special operation (Opn Human Pyramid) which served as a general introduction to life in the Unit for the Stag patrol... or the November Company as they are going to be more often referred to in the future!
At work on the pioneering project (saturday morning) the project was a seesaw bridge, which ended up being very high and the greater challenge was using it more than building it. It could have doubled as a catapult in times of war... isn't that right corrieri?
The finished product (the SVS see-saw bridge/catapult). We could have used it to get into the 5 star hotel in the vicinity.

The activity was built around teambuilding command tasks such as the Human Pyramid above (hence the name of the operation). We even did the pyramid blindfolded! Can you spot me in the photo above? Martin's doing it with one hand! That's SVS!!!

I'm showing one of the stags/recruits how to tighten a square lashing properly! 'Pull harder!!!'
The Unit Executive, who ran the activity with the VSL & ASL Tim, in the sun. We drank so much water during this activity and sweated it right out. The trick to not getting sun burnt even in the scorching sun: use loads of suncream and a good hat.

During a team-building command task . Sam is blindfolded and has to make his way to Martin following his instructions...thing is the instructions weren't so straight forward and needed decoding.
Opn Trident Pt I
Martin on Saturday night's Tutorial Navex. SVS does it again, a full night's yomp at top speed and time to practice the basic navigation skills.
On Qolla ta' Brared, the Unit's favourite chillout spot on Navex 1, where we took 5 (or a little bit more for some) for a quick brew-up & a noodlefest. After which we double timed the rest of the navex & finished off the weekend with an evacuation practice.
After an exhausting weekend (for the recruits of course... i was fresh as can be) we all headed home for showers and sleep!
This weekend another navex will be taking place for 3 of the M-Coy recruits.
