Fitness is the Key to Success
Well, fitness obviously goes without saying
is pretty much key. It goes without saying
you have to be very fit in order,
especially with respect to the army.
There's lot of running around and
a lot of heavy kit and things like that so
that was something where you already
have to go in feeling that you are a
pretty fit person and then you have to
build up even more from there.
And then getting to learn how to use the
various weapons and employing different tactics
and learning to work as a team that there is
different responsibilities
being shouldered by all sorts of
people that you are involved with.
There is a lot of awareness that you have
to come to terms with. It's a pretty steep
learning curve but it's nothing but a
challenge and that's something that
everybody was positive and
looked forward to.
