Join the REME and get yourself a cracking trade for when you do decide to get out. That way, you won't end up pounding the aisles in sainsburys wearing a brown uniform and reeling off war stories to old people.
at this present time my duties keep me where I belong, in the rear with the gear.

I've got to admit that this program does not bother me one bit and I'll sometimes watch it infact. If it does intice some people to have a crack at RSC that I think the army's on to a winner (if they can pass the tests than its a bit of marketing genius).

yes its heart warming an' all that, but what in the name of jumping jehovo's is a "Great Sergeant Major" coz I aint ever met one.

Bowman does both secure voice and data, thats the whole reason we've got it. It's a bag of sh*t though, vehicle mounted radios can't be used for long without the vehicle running as the battery drains at a premier league rate. Also, we've found that the radios themselves don't talk to each other as ...
