day with the army. They were first introduced to the job of the army
by one of the local sergeants. After this they then went out side to
take part in some team building tasks, such as blind folded beat the
goalie, sheep in a pen (1 person in a team had to direct the rest of
their team to a pen but the rest of the team were blind folded and
they could only use a whistle to communicate) and many other games.
