Weapons cleaning – the worst bit of the weekend!
3 Star night ambush
SSI Raynes enjoyed the weekend as much as the cadets with the three star wing! As well as advanced fieldcraft training and living in the field for the weekend, they took part in a very successful night ambush with pyrotechnics and blank ammunition.
The Two stars with SSI Crimes got lucky with their harbour area with the shortest walk into camp!
During the weekend they practiced their fieldcraft skills and applied their training to a section attack during which lots of blank ammunition was fired.
