First activity was we were separated into four groups and i was in team Delta.Then what happened was we asked to select 8 members in each groups and there was a small square which was tucked with two bamboos and placed it as the square comes in the middle with little bit of high from floor and we were asked to go into the square without touching and if any part of our body touched the square then we were out and once again start from the first. This is the first activity and we did it with much more interestingly and happily. Then an officer told us the plus and the minus of our group and he especially mentioned that our team wasn't had a unique leader and every body take the leadership and that was the big mistake we did and very quickly we understand our mistake and appointed a leader for the next activity.

After we finished the breakfast we were once again separated into three groups and this time an unimaginable activity we had. that is we had a map and a compass and we asked to reached the elephant point by using the map and the compass and its 2.5 km distance. so first the officers taught us how to use the compass and they came for support us.Then we move towards the final destination with our team. when we walked suddenly we saw a person who severely injured ( to train us ) and then we take steps very slowly to secure him and some of the members didn't take much serious and laugh and we poured him water but unfortunately he was died ( acted as died ). then the officer who acted was got up and points out the mistakes which we did and then we continued our journey and finally we reached the destination and had a good time their and relaxed for a while.
After the relaxation we walked to the Naval museum and saw a lot their. The components which were damaged in the time of second world war and in the time of war which happened more the 3 decades in Sri Lanka.
