Graduation

The final day of graduation was a mass of timings and checks, from breakfast through morning practice to the final ceremony in the afternoon, a very glamouress affair to say the least with the parents and family members of the recruits all mingled in with members of the forces and the OC of Halton all watching as we performed to our very best, our graduation parade went off without a hitch and was applauded energetically from the stands before the final march on where we dispersed tomour families for hugs, pictures and a few drinks at them on-base bar.
To say I was relieved that basic training was over is an understatement but at the same time I would do it again because personally it was enjoyable, some days i genuinely questioned if I was doing the right thing joining up however I loved the people I training with, I respected the NCO's who taught us and I adored the facilities and equipment available to us therefore given the chnace I would happily go back to and go again.
