Introduction

Outline Series 02, Episode 02

The members of 7 Platoon have been at the AFC in Harrogate for three weeks and while some of the rookies are already proving to be natural soldiers, others are struggling.

They must all pass their first live exercise, which means firing a weapon, while allegations of bullying mean that one junior soldier faces being kicked out for bad behaviour, while another tearful recruit wants to leave.
