About Army Skils Experiences
Attention! Left! Right! About face! Forward march! Fall in! At ease! Deep within all of us we suspect is a latent desire to don the old camouflage and scurry about through the undergrowth exclaiming loudly, uttering a series of acronyms only the army seems to understand. And let’s face it, acronyms do make anything sound kinda cool.
Amateur psycho-analysis aside, our selection of Army Skills experiences offers a bevy of experiences from the frontline with hints of leadership, operations and survival training. For a touch of debonair espionage, shaken not stirred and all that, hit one of the spy experiences, or one of the Infantry training or Tank experiences could be well up your alley.
Major skills to be had, experience the adrenaline, the camaraderie, the exhilaration of one of our Army Skills experience, then go home and take a nice long bath. And that’s an order.
Army Skils Facts
-
Fijians contribute the second largest number of foreign soldiers to the British Army, followed by Jamaicans. That’s quite an interesting fact that, especially as one thinks of the contrast between palm trees, warmth and mess halls.
-
Ian Fleming, creator of the James Bond books also wrote, and we kid you not, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". From licensed to kill, Sean Connery and liberal amounts of Martinis to a talking, flying, do-gooder car is quite a contrast.
-
Junior officers in the army are generally termed as 'Ruperts' after Rupert the Bear. Another army term is 'Pongo', as in where the army goes the pong goes. Somewhat surprisingly this is not considered complimentary.

In a battle of epic proportions, climb aboard this rolling fortress with a three man squad armed with a formidable arsenal of paintballs. Careen about in a specially modified 432 Armoured Personnel Carrier leaving a Technicolor wake of destruction as you and your fellow operatives seek to take down enemy targets… we mean, friends. Perfect for warmongers, and surrealist painters alike, Tank Battle Paintballing is training you can’t afford to miss.

Anything involving something called the 'Headhunter' training system should be treated with caution, the apocalyptic Virtual Soldier Experience truly living up to its name. Armed to the teeth with an SA80 rifle that fires beams at the same velocity as a 5.56 bullet, eliminate enemy operatives by hitting sensors in their helmets. Hasta la vista baby, take no prisoners, spare no mercy, and above all, anyone’s game*.

Customer Reviews of Army Skills Experiences
Yes mate. Your virtual soldier experience RULES. Took my enemies out with the rifle and celebrated afterwards down the pub.

I loved this Spy Academy. I felt like a real life James Bond as I did all the espionage tasks. The gadgets were brilliant, real boys toys, and the combat lessons were really good. The arms training was my favourite part though, I got fairly good after a while - was quite proud of myself!

I recently bought the Tank Battle Paintballing for my best mate as a 30th Birthday present. He loved it (and I had a fantastic time too!). We had a great time, one of the days you'll never forget.
