This was one of the first proper exercises we have held with the new C.O. in command and it was a day of re-learning the basics for the senior cadets and a bit of an eye opener for the juniors

The Cpl doing cam the hard way, using Nettles! - they soon learnt!

The Seargent shows how it should be done, using ferns and grass. And of course a willing assistant.

As part of their project work sessions, some cadets made Ghillee suits. These were invented centuries ago by Scottish game keepers, called Ghille's, and were used to help catch poachers. Nowadays they are used by military snipers and are seen as the ultimate in personal camouflage and concealment.

Although, you still need to use common sense when using them. Yes, thank you for the demonstration Flight Seargent, the flowers make you look very nice!!!

There are actually 2 cadets "cammed up" in this picture. can you spot them? Sometimes i just don't know why i bother (C.O.)

And finally after getting cammed up, see the smiles on A Flight, just before they had to lie down in waist hight wet grass to learn how to do the lepoard crawl. And they were still smiling at the end of the night, odd bunch!
