Congratulations @Benje_Junior well deserved, it has been a pleasure watching you grow through the ranks in Carnity, this is a great achievement and reflects your professionalism, cool head under pressure coupled with skill and knowledge. This is a well-deserved promotion and I look forward to supporting you further on this journey as you start to lead drives in your own right. Good luck with LL I, II and III enjoy the experience, and remember, the journey is just beginning as is the learnings. Congratulations and good luck.

Thanks @JeromeFJ you have been an inspiration on my journey, thanks for all of your help and advise as I have travelled this path really appreciated

Thanks @Srikumar I remember a drive when we had a stuck on a flat area, and I suggested that we get the ropes out as it looked impossible to get the vehicle out, you politely told me no we will get this self-recovered, I was very skeptical to be honest, but man oh man, we shovel and we wiggled and we blipped, and we shoveled some more, and low and behold we got it self recovered. That was one of the most valuable lessons that I received in Carnity, to see how with patience, thought, knowledge and skill we can pretty much self-recover any situation in the desert, I keep reminding myself of this whenever I have a situation today. Appreciate your mentorship and guidance over the last three years that has helped me and pushed me to get to this place in my off roading journey.

Thanks @Imteeaz appreciate the kind words and support mate Thanks @Alexanderrr appreciated and look forward to seeing you in the sand again very soon Thanks @Shaun J really appreciated mate, sorry but I lost my st George flag on a drive couple of weeks ago, so I need to know where you got it from so I can get a new one Thanks @Mahesh_ appreciate the nice comments and look forward to many more teaching moments and fun in the sand

Thanks @Gaurav I really appreciate the opportunity you have given me to grow within the club, the time you have spent mentoring me and empassing knowledge and you have a vast amount of it to pass on. Your patience during LL I, II and III over a year ago, your help and encouragement as we went from novice leads to growing into the title of Expert, which to be fair I did not really feel I deserved at the beginning, and I also thought to myself on those first few leads, oh my goodness what have you done, how are you going to manage this drive and that drive, etc. But with all the training and continued mentoring when supporting your drives it now comes fairly naturally. You have a club that we can all be proud of, it has a solid foundation, a fantastic structure, with Community spirit and safety as its core values. Its a real honor to be a part of this amazing club, that is filled with amazing people from all the other Marshalls (I can say that now ) the other trip leads, the support teams and amazing members that come out and follow us around the desert. I have not driven for any other club since starting my journey with Fred on my master class, and have no intention of doing so. I feel that Carnity is a home away from home and enjoy every minute of it and all that it strives to install in its members. Thanks you for having the faith in me to move through the ranks and look forward to all and any challenges that come my way to help grow the club and mentor future leads support and club members alike. This journey would not have been possible without all of the other Marshalls and support members that give up their time to post drives and share their knowledge, so a big shout out to anyone i have no responded to or mentioned in my posts. The amount of wonderful messages of congratulations received is indeed very humbling...... thank you all Thanks @Vijaya Kumar Doppa appreciated
