The time had finally came my first annual camp. Annual camp is a week long camp that all the army cadets in W.A have to go to. It was the holidays In between term 3 and 4 and I was so nervous I was going on a camp for a week with a massive amount of people I don't know.
At least I had my friend Argyle with so I wasn't completely alone but still it was kind of scary. Eventually the day came that we were leaving. We had to meet at the army barracks. By this point I was no where near as nervous as I have found all the people that I knew and to make it even better I was in the same platoon as Argyle.
We were all sitting in our camp groups at the barracks waiting for the bus. We all got to know each other a bit more as we were the smallest group out of the whole cadets. After a 3 hour drive on the bus we finally arrive at Bindoon the sas training ground. We were waiting at our campsite for all the other cadets they eventually came after 2 hours.
After the first few days of sweating like you would never believe we realise there are no showers it was hell, but it was still awesome everyday it was something new at one point we were doing cam and concealment which is sort of like the army hide and seek on the 5 day we finally went back to our own unit and the cadet games begun.
The cadet games were a heap of different challenges the one that I took place in was the the skill at arms which was a 24hr challenge and was about team work and endurance. After a week I was finally ready to go home have a shower and sleep. The time came and next thing we know we are on the busses on our way home.
