No photos for the assesment course on the last day - they had kept it hidden from us! Probably cos we would have gone home straight away if we had seen it on day one

If you join the Army they will pay you to do this sort of thing in some really exotic locations throughout the world. Bagdad, Afganistan and Bosnia to name a few.

Why not one of these that comes complete with it's own boat so you don't have to go in the puddles
