VENTURE ADVENTURE - WEEK 3 BEGINS

For most of us, we endured a tiring 7 to 10 hours of endless countryside greenery to finally board the “luxurious” P&O Irish ferry. Yet again we were all dumb-founded by the vast stretch of Irish Sea.

At first the social distance was obvious to all. However, the familiar sea sickness feeling brought about conversation amongst Wings.
The food, however tasty, was undeniably expensive such as £9 for steak pie and chips, (for prices like that you’d expect Gordon Ramsey to make something ex-travagant for the same price).

Finally after the ferry docked in Ireland .

OUR FIRST DAY DURING THE MEDIA MODULE

At the start of the day we were stuck in the rain as Tommy failed to find the classroom key, however Sgt McHarg was on the ball and managed to find them. When we first got into the class we didn’t know what to expect so to make things easier we introduced ourselves and that made everyone feel more comfortable.

FS Evans then turned up with his blue mini bus and took us on a tour of the base. We saw many things that were interesting such as the Fire Service, PSNI, Dog Squad to name a few. Throughout the week we will be trying to organise visits to these places to find out more about the job requirements.
This would give us an insight to the daily working lives of the staff on base.

We were then dropped off at the junior ranks were the chefs had prepared a wonderful lunch for us, we where fortunate that there was plenty left as the media cadets were the only cadets to have lunch there today.

We relaxed for roughly 10 minutes then we were met by FS Evans to continue the tour of the station. We then continued the station tour and visited the the Officers Mess for tea and buns and then the Varsity before checking out the films we would likely see in the cinema.
