This sounds rather interesting, I'd apply if it was during the summer. It could be someone's big break.
Any of you interested in this? Pass it on if you know of anyone. It is a

YOUNG BOATERS WANTED FOR TV OPPORTUNITY
The BBC are currently inviting applications for a new series which will
mark the 60th anniversary of D-Day. If you are male, aged 18-24 and
consider yourself to be strong and relatively fit, then they want to hear
from you, especially if you have an interest in small boats and the sea.
They are looking for volunteers to take part in a physically and mentally
challenging 4 week rapid training exercise, based on the training that the
D-Day forces undertook 60 years ago. This will be filmed and shown as part
of the BBC’s range of television and radio events commemorating the D-Day
landings.
If selected you will be taken straight to a training camp somewhere in
Britain where from 16th February - 14th March you will be put through four
weeks of physically and mentally challenging training by the Army and the
Royal Navy including the Royal Marines.
Veterans from the D-Day landings will be at our present-day training camps
to offer an insight into what it was like to train for and take part in
the Normandy invasion. Through the training exercises, you will experience
some of the physical and emotional tests they endured 60 years ago. The
difference is that you will not have to risk your life and take part in
any real military conflict. During the four weeks you will live on a
military base and will have food and accommodation provided by us.
Please only apply if you are available from 14th Feb – 14th March 2004.
If you are interested and available please contact Ben Crichton on 020
87527554 or ben.crichton@bbc.co.uk by Friday 6th Feb for an application
form. The deadline for forms to be returned is Wednesday 11th Feb.
