Under
normal circumstances it takes immense concentration, skill and
timing to perform as a member of Australia’s Federation Guard
Precision Drill Team.
At a recent performance by the team at the Melbourne Employment
and Jobs Expo, AB Michelle Bush stole the show, performing two
thirds of the routine blindfolded. “I just didn’t want to let
anyone down ... so I was determined to keep going,” AB Bush
said.
Until she could regain her full vision AB Bush performed faultlessly,
much to the delight of a huge audience who gave her a rousing
standing ovation.
Guard Sergeant Major WO2 Grant Doyle, supervisor of the team
said considering AB Bush hasn’t been in the drill team all that
long, it was an incredible performance and one in which she
brought great credit on herself, the drill team and highlighted
the excellence of people in the Defence Force.
AB Bush aspires to be a submariner after her time at the Federation
Guard and by current indications she could probably handle that
blindfolded as well.
