We are about half way through our GSE experience and maybe it is time for me to make some type of comment.
What a marvellous experience we are having. We were told of what to expect but I supsect not one of us really thought for a moment it would actually happen. Well it has, and with all things in the USA, in a BIG way.
The vocational, cultural, social and presentation experiences are running at a rapid rate and a rest at Arrowhead was just what was required....
It is not for me to assess the development and performances of the team - that is for others - however I am in a position to make some comment. I can say that the Australian humour is in full force which is fantastic as this differs from other nations.
At times some cultural differences have existed within the team. Handguns and pistols have been drawn only to see them quietly slip back into their undercover locations.
The first night at Arrowhead gave the team an opportunity for vigorous debate on many topics and it certainly didnt disappoint.
Rhonda - who loses weight when she travels
Narelle - the enforcer of wayward cell phones
Tim - the silent assassin who is killing us with his shopping habits
Lucien - the clown prince (or Louie the lip) who is often heard saying "when in Rome..."
We have develped in to a caring group with great camoraderie skills. (lets not get too complimentary as we are only halfway through our program). However the real stories may never be revealed as what they say - what has happened in Vegas, Barstow, Victorville and Arrowhead stays in that town....
Until next time, see you, Pete
