Excuse the bad quality, but the camera was a crappy disposable one, plus with all the conditions (sandy, dirty, etc.) some of the photos did not come out too well. Only editing to them has been size (either full or cropped).
First was in Meaford for the DP1 Infantry course:

On the beach while doing Assault Boat and water crossing training. I'm on the left and notice how my combats are dry? When we did water crossing we had to change out of our combats into rain gear and stick all our kit - rucksack and web gear - into the goretex bivy bag and go in the water with it. Mine stayed dry, but some people's didn't.
Then we were off for 10 days in CFB Petawawa for the Central Area Concentration known as Exercise Stalwart Guardian:

Being in a Highland unit as a Piper makes me a Combat Piper... Rifleman and Piper. I led the Company into battle during our Raid against the Americans and during the live fire Block. Was a Rifleman for the OBUA aspect.

That's all the stuff worth uploading and showing, hope you enjoy... once again, sorry for the poor quality on most of them.
