Good morning. The expectation is that you attend 27 training nights (post basic training), training weekends (usually one weekend in four/six) and annual camp (14 days). During your basic training phase you are required to complete two elements:
Foundation which can be completed in two ways, consolidated (9 days) or modular (5 alternate weekends)
Battle Camp which has to be completed in a two week block.
Please get in touch if you'd like more info'.
