Brandon hill completed today. It used to be our old part 3 of the PT test in the 1990s 30th Bn and 3rd Bn. We may be older, we may be slower, but we still get the buzz from a friendly hike amongst friends. Still telling stories. #lovethearmy.

Privileged alongside my Post 8 IUNVA colleagues today. To be present at the unveiling of a plaque to remember the 3rd Infantry mascot Fionn.

30th/3rd Battalion Vetearns out for our Sunday Stroll. Talking Tactics Techniques and procedures relating to an RV at a local watering hole ..

Walking the ground always gives a better understanding of the actions, decisions, reactions, and outcomes of events from our military past. Staff rides with a social aspect.

We may be Vetearns, but our desire to learn lessons from our military heritage keeps us ticking. #Militaryveterans #lovethearmy
