Posted on October 4, 2011

Singer Cheryl Cole visited British troops in Afghanistan. It was more than just a meet and greet. Cheryl also went with the troops for combat training.

She took part in a mock battle and learned how to use a gun. Cheryl also got covered in dust when a helicopter blew Afghanistan dust high in the air as it came in for a landing.

Cheryl said, "I can't believe it. I'm shocked. This has to be the biggest wake up call of my life." We are impressed Cheryl got so involved and got dusted by a chopper. Watch her storm into a building carrying a big gun near the end of a clip. Take a look:
