Pigpen graduates

All the hard work in the pig pen paid off... We graduated to real houses today. The academy has a special area with actual houses set up for live searching.

I think they are old PMQ dwellings from the former Forces base located in the city. They are small and two storeys, with modifiable doors and openings to change their internal layouts from run to run.

The last half of the day was downright fun, after the training officers got more comfortable with our abilities to maintain orientation and perform effective searches. "Mayday, mayday, mayday - get out only using the hose for orientation," was the call! Follow the hose out, female coupling first.
