I knew of one squad who so annoyed their CO that they got the wonderful job of cleaning the interior and exterior of those buildings for the duration of the 3 week exercise. One of the party tricks I learned there was the superman jump through windows. Whip antennae for my 351 and 320s from my bergen meant that I couldn't do the normal hurry-in method so had to bend 90 degrees from the waist, aim and just hope everyone heard me shout that I'm on the way in and clear out before I sprinted & jumped through. Packing kit on my front to stop me shredding my combats was strangely comfortable.

Futtocks Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 How well can you discern different shades of blue? 88% for me, but it wasn't easy.

I know my eyesight is deteriorating, but 4 out of 10 is not good. One of the four was a total guess! In my defence, I play patience so much that the card outlines are burned into the screen, which doesn't help with the readability. I guess screen quality must play a part, too.

Futtocks Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I was pleased with my result, as it proves my terrible eyesight is good for at least one thing. Without glasses, anything more than 5 inches away is out of focus. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
