Meeting the Marines

Ten lucky boys from the Public Services course were selected to attend a ‘Meet The Marines’ day in Milton Keynes.

They started the day with a briefing session, before boarding a minibus out into the woods. They were given an introduction to field cookery, shelter making and a game of paintball, in which the marines were the target for everyone!

After lunch, they were transported back to the lake, kicking off the afternoon with some scrambling through underground tunnels in the dark. A trip around the lake on power boats really managed to get the adrenalin pumping. To finish off the afternoon, they climbed a 50ft tower and then jumped off!

Tutor Haydon Littlewood, who accompanied the boys, comments, “The day was a great success and I feel there will be some Dunstable College marines in the future.”
