A quick reminder about the upcoming "Milton Hall Training School" event being run by the Comrades in Arms team. The event is named after the famous WW2 UK training establishment for the Special Operations Executive.
It is aimed mainly at potential Jed's and SAS troopers who are attending the July 'Operation Jedburgh' event but German players will find it useful too. This event is to provide a taste of what to expect and a grounding in some basic skills that they will find useful to get the most out of the event and to keep going if the weather is against them. This event is also suitable for anyone looking to learn/brush up on some skills for future events.
Campcraft - Shelter building, track plans, fire-lighting, light & noise discipline, concealment.
Movement - Small unit tactics, hand signals, patrolling, "jungle lanes", breaking contact.
Selfcare - Feet, warmth, motivation.
Basic evasion techniques.
Basic navigation - Compass bearings, grid references, pacing.
Signals - Basic radio procedures.
Also, to try to teach that "living in the field" doesn't equate to "suffering for no reason". You can be perfectly comfortable, warm and well fed, without having to resort to eating nettles and worms! In fact, if you're living like a tramp, you're doing it wrong!
It will be both challenging and rewarding for the participants and paced so as not to kill anyone with fatigue. It will not be a stroll in the woods or a glorified social but a serious attempt at instilling useful skills.
The cost is £25 and the event will start at 6am so taking advantage of camping overnight is recommended.
