THEY have been trained to fire a weapon and use the latest communications technology, but many of the 7th Combat Signal Regiment have never surfed before.
That was soon changed when 47 military communication experts from the Enoggera Barracks descended on Noosa’s Access 14 last Wednesday for three days of water fun under the guidance of Merrick’s Learn to Surf team.
The soldiers spent three days learning to surf, kayak or stand-up paddle board, a big change from their usual combat and military training.
Many of the soldiers had spent time overseas in either peace-keeping missions or in combat, but said they loved the chance to get out and build comradery while having fun.
