The Thetford weekend consisted of plenty of lessons for OP TOSCA (Cyprus) along with yes you`ve guessed it another CFT and 1.5mile run, however this time i could not do any physical activities on this weekend due to a lower back injury.
It took ages to get to Thetford, we arrived at 3am and had to be up Saturday morning at 6am, the camp is quite a large place and very old now, they filmed the Dads Army ending here so im told, the billets are something out off a WW2 film and we were unlucky to have one that smelled like cat pee, Saturday consisted of the 1.5mile run for those without injury, and then onto plenty of power point presentations all to do with OP TOSCA as well as a very good presentation from two lads who only 24 hours earlier had returned from their 6month Cyprus deployment.
During lunch time i looked across the canteen and noticed a lad that i did my basic training with at Strensall in Yorkshire, he belongs to a different regiment to me and it was great to meet up again, if you join the TA or the Regs you will never forget your basic training and the people you met during that time.
Sunday the ones without injury did their CFT, then it was onto a few more power point presentations and then that pretty much was it, another weekend ended without much to write about. The OP TOSCA lesson really has got ten me in the mood for the deployment now.
Next update, weekend @ Catterick.
