Family Day

The junior soldiers and AFC did an excellent job of hosting Connor's platoon's family day today.  They know how to put on a show!  It was great to be able to see first hand what our JSs have been up to this past 36 weeks; physical training, shooting down at the range, war games and camouflage training.  It was a real eye-opener too - I tried lifting one of the backpacks that they have to carry and run with and I couldn't even get it off the ground!  And that was without their guns and the extra equipment they have in their webbing.  I was astonished at how heavy the guns are!  The ration packs were delicious, especially the meat stew one that I tried.  I wouldn't go hungry in the field, that's for sure!
