MY DAY
Two parts to my day
On a basic day when we're not doing field exercises or training, we're usually found doing weapon drills, marching drills, or classroom lessons.
A training unit mostly starts in the classroom. It's like attending post-secondary school and having the job you're training for at the same time - we learn things in class and discuss them and then we get the hands on training. It's a really good way to learn.
