We asked troops from 4 Brigade how their pre-deployment training had gone and for their thoughts on the influx of new kit 
Sig Alexander Eley (R Signals)
It’s my first operational tour to Afghanistan and something I am looking forward to. Training has been exciting and I’m feeling prepared. I’ve been pleased with the work on linking with the infantry in the field. However, mentally I am nervous and I know it’s going to be a tough experience. We are getting brand new kit so on that front I’ve got no worries at all.
