Week 10

The week began with the RNFT.  This involved running six times round the track and everyone managed to pass - (special congratulations to Musn Norrie!)  This was followed by our first day of first aid.  We learnt about Dr ABC, triage and also CPR. 

Tuesday brought the swimming test, jumping off the 5m board in full rig and then treading water for two minutes.  This proved more of a challenge for some people (Musns Brooke and Richardson).  However, Musn Brooke was successful, with a little help from Cpl Hill!  After swimming, we then had more first aid lectures and we also did some practical work which ended up with half the Troop looking like mummies! 

The next day we had our first aid tests, giving CPR to ‘Resuscitation Annie’ and handling a first aid scenario.  We then had our final physical test in the gym.  This consisted of press-ups, sit-ups and burpees.  We then did the bleep test… twice!  The second time we had to beat our first score and then, because some of the lads (and Musn Hurley) had such good stamina, we all had to do burpees whilst they were still going!

Thursday came and started with an inspection by Capt Smallwood to mark the end of Basic Training and we all went out for a drink or two to celebrate with the Training Team.
