June 20, 2007: The softer side of the military

Military tourTony was away Monday and Tuesday on a ’round Denmark cruise’ with the military while they showed him and his colleagues the wonderful nature that has grown up on their training grounds. They wanted advice on how to maintain and improve them, but at one site where they had dammed a small stream and created a wonderful lake and wetland, full of birds, they really could not have done any better. There were no casualties despite being out on the range with “live” training, peak of the trip was a trip on a coastguard vessel under the huge “Storebæ¦ltbroen” (the suspension bridge linking Zealand and Funen) surrounded by harbour porpoises!
