I'm a bit late posting today - and haven't had time to check out race results from the last few days - no internet connection all morning! Methinks netspeed was down.

My son Nathan is officially a soldier today. I am amazed at what he had to go through during his basic training. But he never gave up. He even did over and above what he was told to do. And ended up winning the most prestigious award given to recruits, the "Most Outstanding Soldier" award. That's my boy.

Yes, "Musician Nathan Moore" was the most outstanding soldier and received this trophy. We had three exciting days in Wagga Wagga and Kapooka, and Nathan is now heading for Melbourne to complete the musical side of his training.
