Blhf umstances beyond our control, we had to stimulate the procedures and luckily only spent one very cold day (-25“C on exercise. The Squadron then began Gunnery Training which culminated in the AGS Competition and the CO’s Turret Inspection both of which we won. The Squadron then went up to Hohne and proceeded to shoot fast and accur- ately with a noticeable improvement each day On the final battle mn a very testing target array was presented to troop and the results were among the THE 9TH/l2TH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL A! Before Troop training best seen by the Gunnery [65. The end was an A grade for the Squadron, with 2nd Troop Leader, Mr Douglas-Miller, winning both Machine Gun Shield (for the best battle run) and the Thornton Sword. Spring Tralnlng After a well deserved Easter break the Squadron again deployed to South- ern Germany for Regimental Training (Ex RHINE FAREWELL). Initially the weather was snowy, cold and very wet but the troops trained very hard in all the basic recce tasks and prepared for Tp Tests at the end of the first week. The two days of Tp Tests produced another B Squadron victory. this time the credit going to Mr Bailey‘s GW Tp, which was bolstered by Sgt Andrews PT Instructor, Tpr Reddey (Orderly Room Clerk) and Tpr Walters (Sgts Mess Sil- vermsn) — quite an achievemnt! Almost immediately on our return from Ex RHINE FAREWELL the Squadron was again involved with Ex Probex, which provided its fair share of laughs and frustrations. We now look forward to a period when we can relax and enjoy Summer working hours. Zl |
