To 900 military personnel and their families in November I got the chance to spend 3 weeks there looking after the forces radio station I've never been before and I took the opportunity to have a little nose around to find out what the garrisons role is in 28 and I started off by catching up. With the Big Boss Hello my name is Lieutenant Colonel Jamie Morey I'm the commander of British forces Brunei and also the commanding officer of the 2nd time they're all going to rifles come up how does it fit into the overall training package for the British military in terms of training. Is unique opportunities for infantry soldiers in particular to get on board switch back to the basics philosophy which the infantry for its part is employing and of course we have the jungle environment which allows us to do so who is here exactly and what are their roles within the garrison. Garrison is a large one and we're just under 2000 people in total which includes the dependents about $850900.00 military green suited staff and we are broken down into the 4 component parts the infantry battalion the go because he rotates here every 3 years . I have the jungle warfare division which come under a separate chain of command but I have oversight of them generated by infantry battle school. We have 7 flight Army Air Corps and we have what we called nice support troops or garrison support troops a range of those supporting elements that deliver real life support 1st line 2nd line support for me and my soldiers and in terms of you've been running the ship now for a few months what are your initial thoughts on what you found and where you'd like to take place. Like arsons well found. I have the benefit of being here now off and on for 14 years is actually my 15th year I find the garrison well lead we've got the right people here which is very important this is a human endeavor of course we're well supported we have the vast majority things we need notwithstanding we are 6 and a half 7000 miles away from the u.k. And I'm finding in a really good place at the moment somebody who maybe is listening to this a moment somewhere in the world in the u.k. In Germany who finds out they might be imposed he hasn't got the benefit of experience of being a before what would you say and what if you were if you're like the selling Bernanke but also being honest about the negatives what would you say yeah I think it's important to look at both sides of that coin we are as I mentioned a long long way away from home so the comforts of family and the support you get from having a member of family within the same continent little in the same country just doesn't really exist here. And it is a long way to communicate to receive mail to to benefit from those those small things you kind of take for granted in Europe or indeed in the u.k. And on the other hand of course offers a magnificent opportunity to sample taste to get to know a completely different culture we are sat in a conservative moves them Sultan ate his majesty the Sultan is. The great host of British forces and a great friend of British forces. We are sat on the equator the climate is not everyone's taste but it's certainly to mine high humidity sunshine but of course some rain and the few storms that blow through. But also by offers a great opportunity to travel and it's been very important to me since I've come back into the garrison to get the balance between work and life absolutely right and what I do see was with great pleasure as many of my soldiers experience in the region either in sports tours adventure training traveling with work the ability now to sort of spoke out of Brunei around Southeast Asia is great and we have a I think we're getting that balance just about right. So overall if you could give one piece of advice to somebody who's going to be with a family or as a single What would that be a really good question because one size wouldn't fit all my advice would be to come absolutely to come we need good people here but would be to embrace the culture around us and not try and bring too much of our British culture into a foreign land and by so doing that will enhance the lifestyle to sample the flavors the the difference is that when I offers to go into the jungle to embrace it and to try and be as open minded as as possible the relationship of the Sultan is a good relationship do you see the Brits staying here I absolutely hope so and if we just look back in history was 55 years ago when the British came here to aid the Sultan's father in a time of need in 1962 at that time when I was a British protectorate so we had a responsibility to help in 1084 the garrison was fully established and when Brunei became independent and since that point we've been here on a 5 year rolling agreements with His Majesty the next when we signed in 2020 my experiences albeit at the tactical level of course are that the brians value our presence just as much as we value being here as you'll be aware we've had a couple of royal visits recently in some 3 star generals have been here all the mood music I see in those interactions have been extremely positive and my garrisons are all my my forces are all here is to be great guests in this country to be value for money to his Majesty the sultan to act as a professional force and therefore an all weather friend to the partners in this endeavor but I garrison commander let in a colonel Jamie Murray chatting to us part one of our 5 parts are looking at life and work in garrison through the. This week I asked him a little cheeky question of the bike lanes We'll share that with you in a 2nd well the show tomorrow will be leaving the comfort behind to venture into the polio jungle as the jungle warfare division hosts a course for potential jungle warfare trying to destroy want to know what go in. Camille I could never be this you got a law that says she sings it. Is the law you have to do it so the back of our interview with the big boss let in a colonel Jamie Marie. Down to 7 fly Army Air Corps ahead of that to have a chat with them you'll be hearing from them later this week and a whole bunch of the guys from 7 flight were doing the most pro challenge the Movember Tash growing day and I was going to come and they said anyone you. Could be interviewed the big boss I'm asking and they said can you do that it was worth a try let's see what happens one last question has nothing to do with the that. You come from 7 point we're going to take it all in the movie but Challenge was a mode grows on 7th like with varying degrees of success they're looking for a job they need someone to go to the mountain at the end of the law for them for the role I'm up for anything mate and having seen the state of some of those grabbers I'd be delighted to go and judge them. Nice one thank you very much so a question for 7 flight did it happen I don't know did the big boss come along and judge your trash and who won some stuff good effort to create effort but also the organizers never can remember the moment I do apologize I kept looking I'm going are you actually doing this he was blonde it didn't help the touch wasn't exactly visible in about 5 minutes I would be counting up with the Scots Guards who just returned from the Army Nordic biathlon semifinals in France they back in old Europe and I will catch up with them via Richard Wyeth in about 5 or 6 minutes from now who's the largest employer of musicians in the u.k.

Best on in France where we've been to call in the infantry championships dollars another we can all all the training races getting used to the form of competition that we've obviously never done before and again a great chance to own our skills both on the range and technique wise they were hoping to become the 1st novice team to make the army championship but they didn't make the counts they just appointed they still have something to build on come out against Team c. D. This year in year out and how we can create too much when we have finished at the forefront of this team out of about 11 which is fantastic result and it's not just kind of a well done and well done everyone sort of way it's a genuine a you know these guys came out late off exercise because Polish ratings on their 4 and it's still really caught teams to be nice for a lot longer the one kind of great benchmark for us is the teams that were in opposition last year comparatively low spot and then this year all pushing this sort of 7 top 5 to the conversation say to released from base to build on next year and look to qualify for the army to actually compete rather than just qualify now one of the tame compared to maybe the car into the final 6 after the Sweden train was Lance Corporal Jeremy Hunt and how Philbin got him he.
