It’s hard to call such a busy day “a day off”.
The team had a little sleep-in this morning, with breakfast being at 0800. Then they visited the Brookwood Cemetery, where many Canadian soldiers are buried.
After a quick lunch in downtown Brookwood, the team returned to Canada House to prepare for a visit from General Romses and Colonel Cotton. The team honored the General with a Quarter Guard and during these formalities, MS Browne was given his promotion to PO2 Browne. Following, the General and the Colonel stayed on for the daily team meeting, during which time the ARA/NRA teams were announced.
Mid-afternoon, the team went to get through the required “weapons check” for the competitions.
Finally, we went to one of the ranges where we could look at the obstacles that would be used for Match 34 – Combat Snaps. The picture shows Nic trying out one of the obstacles.
With about two hours left before dinner, the team finally had a little down time.

Hey Linda! Unless I've messed up my dates again ... Happy Birthday from Daphne and me! We expect the team did something to mark the day ... I'm sure we're all looking forward to the 'blog entry and photos.
Wes, you certainly got the date right, thank you! And the team did something special, all right... they won the Falling Plates match, breaking the Omani's 9-year winning streak! Your dad made sure I had flowers and cake and a fuss made. It was lovely!
