You’ve been Bensoned!
By Cadet E. Humphries
Well, how can I start
about Benson? It was
great. Every part of it.
From the drill – to the
field craft.
I'm sure I'm not the
only person who enjoyed
it.
Personally
I
had
multiple experiences, all
good of course. One of
them
was
AEF.
Air
Experience Flying. It was
amazing. Truly amazing.
We went up for about 20
minutes each time, every
person got to experience
at least one aerobatic
move. Personally I did
around
3/4
which
included; a barrel roll, a
'loop de loop' and another
6
barrel roll. The G-Force
you experience is great, it
pushes your back into
your seat as you can see
the lush green ground
below you. The barrel roll,
you can also see the
ground below, but you
don't have a lot of GForce. I even had a great
time, before/after I went
flying!
All of the staff were
nice, everyone had a big
laugh. It was great!
Another great time I
had was the field craft
day at Bramley Training
Field. I must admit it was
hard, very hard in fact,
but the experience we got
out of it was great. The
night-ex was so much
fun. I was on the 'hunter'
team. My team had one
job. Hunt the other team.
It was great fun, and we
all managed to work as a
team.
My
last
great
experience, was the end
disco.
It
was
just,
phenomenal. It was such
a great laugh. We had lots
of fun.
Well
overall
my
experience at Benson,
was once in a lifetime. I
met new people, and
great new friends. I really
enjoyed it, and would
recommend it to anybody
who was unsure. It was
just amazingly great. ?
