Learning Again

During my tour of Northern Ireland I was sent back to the UK for a specialist course. The army has literally hundreds of different courses that pretty much anyone with a good reason can apply for. I've yet to get a place on the "Basics of Golf" course!

I was sent on the "Assault Pioneer" course. The aim of this course was to train a footslogging infantry soldier in the arcane arts of the Royal Engineers albeit to a very basic level.

The course was split down into various different modules each covering one of the basic Engineer skills.

From Day One however all anyone wanted to do was to learn how to "Blow Sh*t up" as one of my fellow course members delighfully put it........
