Tuesday 19 May 2009

I woke up at about 0700hrs and after getting dressed, I headed down to the Naffie for a bite of breakfast.

I reported to the Band Block at 0800hrs and continued to work on some tunes while the lads went on PT.

Around 1130 I meet with the PTI and was given a show around of the gym. Once I returned back to the Band Block I followed the P/M to the QM's office and received some working kit, as well as a NO.1 uniform for the mess I will be playing at on Weds. Lucky enough I was able to get a No.1 uniform that fits, except for the kilt which is so long I will have to wear it up to my chest.

After ironing my new working dress ( like a good drummie), I headed back to the band block where Drummie escorted me to meet Capt. Herbert. I had a great conversation with the Captain as he explained how the regiment works and what it would be like to join.

That evening was spent with Pipe Major Bradley having a few pints in the Sgt's. Mess.
