The recruits prepare for the firing range as our seasoned instructors train them on Basic Rifle Marksmanship (BRM). This is always an exciting time, as the recruits are given careful instruction on a bit more personal level.
They also get hands on training on land navigation. Equipped with only a compass, map and a protractor. The recruits are forced to put their classroom training to the test by finding a number of points within a strict time frame.
Although this task sounds tough, our cadre (who also built the course), are determined to ensure all of our trainees are successful.
So enjoy this slideshow of recent photos, and stay tuned for more updates. There's a lot going on here at Forest Hill Station: Recruits have gone to the firing range, BLC and the Rangers are both preparing for field exercises, and last, but not least, our recruits are will go to the Rappel Tower Thursday. They'll go up as recruits. but come down as Cadets.
