Common Core Skills
Yesterday I completed my annual Common Core Skills course at the GDT Section. It started at 0830, included 45 minutes for lunch, and finished at 1600. Apparently, I am now qualified to do the following:
a. Extinguish a domestic fire using a variety of appliances.
b. Treat all the casualties and assist the Paramedics.
c. Strip and clean an SA80 in the desert, Arctic or jungle.
c. Protect the locality using succinct warnings and aimed shots (in a strong breeze as well).
d. Do all of this in full NBC kit, and in a gas environment.
Does anyone know of any other one day courses that provide you with such and exciting and varied array of qualifications.
In case anyone doubts my claims, I have a fistful of different coloured bits of card that will prove otherwise.
