Outbound training program

                                      This was a very impressive session rather than other sessions. We went in Trincomalee Eastern Command Naval Base to participate this. While we were going on the bus, we got great fun. This was a two day training program.

                                    We reached that place at about 11 a.m. After wearing bottom and t shirt , we got our lunch at a place which is situated in the sea side of the camp. After getting yummy meal we went to the one side of camp area and we were divided into five groups. Each group had to do following activities.

1st one- There was a metal square frame which hung out in a branch of a tree, using a rope. Each group included ten members for this activity. We had to think that the frame as a high voltage one. The task was to go through the frame without touching any part of the frame.

2nd one- In this activity we had to pass a jill ball through a long tube which is made with separate piece of tubes, without dropping the ball. It was a really difficult task.

3rd one- In this case, we got ten piece of wood. Each person got on one of them. We had to bring those pieces without touching hand. We were guided to keep one of each pieces between back of one person and chest of another person by touching the wood. After standing as a line, we had to pass a boundary by walking with pieces.

4th one- We did this activity in a volleyball court. We had to pass a volleyball by keeping the ball on a big tent and holding four edges of the tent. A one person should catch the ball by standing beyond the net.

5th one- Each group got a great piece of pipe. It had two open edges. We had to fill that by closing one of the edge, using sea water. We should bring water from the sea, using only hands and mouth. The got 10 minutes to fill the whole tube. We had to fill that within this time.

                                      While doing these activities we had to practice two different items to perform in a talent show which will be held in the night. We could find some our batchmates' talents which hadn't been seen before.

                                   In second day we had to find destination only using a compass and a map. There were three officers to each group to assist us. We had to go through a jungle and we faced many adventures in this journey. It was a really precious experience which can't get from anywhere. After that we went to watch the naval museum. We watched many things which related to the naval force like parts of ships, bombs, weapons, items of LTTE etc.

                                         This session add lot of new experiences and knowledge to our life. It was really awesome and different from other PPD sessions.
