Golf Company Helocasting Training 2011

Article & Photos By MCpl J.A. Bahadur, Golf Company 2RCR

On 09 August 2011, soldiers from G Coy 2RCR conducted helocasting training at CFB Gagetown's Fast Water Site which is on the Saint John River. Dry training was conducted the day before. The next day loading was at 403 Squadron's hangar.

The plan was for everyone to jump three times first in combats, second with FFO and third finally with Marching Order. The soldiers really enjoyed this training, a great event before going on summer leave. Considering after leave our schedule will be IBTS/TMST for Op Attention.
