Crumbs, haven’t updated anyone in ages!
Its been an age hasn’t it? I haven’t been writing here for ages. There are some reasons for this. I’ve had a baby (not me personally but my other half). Its our second one and I thought it would be a bit easier to deal with… No way. Its a boy this time so we have [...]
Of Uniform and Space-Time
Not only is this blog here to entertain (well haven’t even started doing that I guess), it is here to educate. But first, a little back story and maybe a few wandering paragraphs of my random thoughts (might as well carry on as I usually do , eh?). So I turn up to meet the [...]
Talking about Gucci Kit
I need to get a pair of these: Fudging fudge heads. I had typed loads and this stupid blog thing has lost it! That’s crap… Anyway to re-cap. I am thinking of picking up a pair of these! Wiley X Brick with adaptive lenses. NICE. With a face gasket to protect your eyes from things. [...]
Its a bit quiet
A bit quiet at the moment. Just waiting for a detachment to parade at. At the moment I can’t parade at my usual place because of commitments of the child care type. Hopefully be told to move to another detachment with a better evening slot for me to attend. Also I have the added complication [...]
Doing the “Army” thing?
Strange title. But here goes, I have been chatting to a friend of mine who is a loadmaster in the RAF for a Chinook flight, who has just come back from Afghan. They do 2 month rotations which is just insane. I met the guy at work surprisingly, they came down to see some software and [...]
Am I just too nice?
Ok that sounds like a complete egomaniacal statement. But it isn’t. Just bear with me whilst I work all this out. I think I am too nice. Let me give you an example. At the recent February Camp I was in a group teaching basic recruits. Fair enough. So the first morning we are doing a [...]
February Camp Completed & The Bubble.
Every two months, our company has a weekend camp at a local Army base. The word camp is a bit misleading, when I mention it my little one asks if she can take her tent too… Its just called camp because its held at an Army camp (I suppose). Either way, off I went to [...]
Perpetual PI?
Ok so you heard I had to come off my ITC before it started, which means I won’t be progressing any further in my training as a adult instructor in the ACF. I will probably have to wait until the next one, which maybe in the summer. It is a setback, but its something I [...]
CFAV’s or un-uniformed CFAV’s
Just a small blog on the subject of cadet force adult volunteers (CFAV). I’m a CFAV, so are all other CFAV. Do un-uniformed CFAVs exist? Thinking about it, wouldn’t it be an advantage to have guest or regular teachers to come down and take lessons with the cadets? Some people outside of the ACF don’t [...]
Not on the ITC :(
All, Because of personal reasons I had to come back from the AITC. I turned up on the Sunday (after going to the wrong part of the camp – but thats another story, I am so unlucky finding places), and then went home because of family issues. The cadet training team (CTT) were understanding and [...]
