You know that the weather is bad when the Navy must seek shelter! a bad joke! In fact one of the Frigate "KNM «Roald Amundsen»" is out on the firing range and shooting (Flotex 2011), they reported that they have waves at 14 meters, while the wheelhouse is only 12 meters above the water. but they expect to get up to 30 meter waves during the night! But they have no plans to go and seek shelter.

after-match:

Anyone up for a game of Battleshots?

Alchohol makes every game abit more intresting

Navy hunter weapon (jegervåpen) emphasize realistic training that reflect the extreme situations in the troops. During exercise Flotex Silver hired them professional actors from the company "Amputees in action." Common to all the actors is that they have lost a limb in an accident or military service. They therefore have the best conditions to play the injury in a credible manner. Pictured is the soldiers of His Majesty the King's Guard training on first aid.
