Activity Requirements[edit]

Level 0

Training Regime/Story Requirements[edit]

A trained scout is not only capable of moving ahead of his squad unseen, but also of noting down information that his squad will need. Untrained soldiers often spend a great deal of time writing down unnecessary detail, whilst a trained scout will quickly evaluate the situation note down the details and send it back to the squad. You will be taken to a variety of locations through your training so you will become familiar with a range of environments.

For the story the soldier will be tasked with choosing a route through one of our training areas (terrain/location is up to trainee) They must move through the area on foot or on bike (if spec complete) evaluate the area (we may place "enemy" troops in area) and return a report to your trainer (1000 words minimum)

Look at this report!? Four pages to describe a bloody hill! Note height, location and move on! You have to move quickly, quietly and get back to your squad in one piece. If you stand still long enough taking pretty pictures eventually a sniper will turn up and end you.
