The Grenadier Guards head to the back area for physical training this morning (PT) and a cheeky log race. Within the British Army, the log is infamous for requiring strength, leadership, and determination. How do you think you would handle this event?

What does a life less ordinary look like? The role of a Guardsmen is varied, and it is this variation that keeps things exciting. We are known not just for our precision on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace, but also for our superior talents on the battlefield.
