I was working with QDG on part of that tour, ya might just see my gorgeous mug popping out here and there.

Yeah mate you are right. The enemy was apparently just jumping out 10 m or so away and firing which was how this lad got hit from the side. Jumping out of rat runs etc
Afganistan is sh*t

Well i am at South Cherney right now and all ready for my flight to Afghanistan. It was just under a year ago i was here going to Iraq. Oh well here's hoping i come back in the same condition and that it goes quick, 7 months is a long time.

Take care all

The Gren Guards were in clip from what I saw of them the other week anyway.

Para 01, I think HH was asking when was the last time you scored with a matelot/bootie wearing female attire! :o Last week, then! :lol:

Yup i can agree, even though i was not there ronnie. Some idiot above thought it was ...

Who cares, if they want to be that sad let them.

I will be doing hill reps on the training area tomorrow
I would be up for it even though i am in, but i do enough PT at work as it is.

Royal Anglians, Grenadier Guards, WFR and Royal Welsh are the infantry regiments, although its only one coy from WFR and Royal Welsh deploying. Royal Anglian and Grenadier Guards are all ready to deploy having done all the training, i am on POTL right now.

Yeah i don't see any big deal over this at all. So what if he is black and an officer, i didn't even notice that he was the first black officer or the only one in the regiment. To me he was just a new officer rocking his one pip like any other.

I meant in the way of training being a lot more difficult and marines seeing more combat than the Army. My apologies.

Cheers, so when i sit myself down in a platoon house or whatever my first task is to do in 8 weeks time, after just taken over from the Marines, do i not deserve more money then?

I had to do Cat B in order to obtain CAT C which i am now doing, to drive WMIK's with heavy weapons such as AGL and 50 Cal, otherwise i wouldn't of got on one. If they need drivers, you will get a course, if not you won't, simple. Think of it like this, you wanna be a sniper but the sniper platoon ...

Yeah cheers, won't be handing my chit for selection...............Thats honking!!!!!

Not with these bergans, there not normal ones you get issued, there designed to keep something cool in hot weather, and you cant put anything else in it as the equipment will overheat.

I'm too cheap to buy gucci boots, that £120 goes on ale [/quote]

When i was doing OpTag confirmatory training, one of the straps inside my 'whats it called' bergan was broken and on a 12 miler it just went clink, clink. Pissed me off, couldn't exchange it either, as there was apparently only one for each bit of metal!!! :evil:

Are you a cadet? Is there not an NCO who knows what they doing that could help you?

For it flapping around, put the pouches closer together so there tight then bungee or use a utility strap on the back to keep it together.
