You don't post rubbish? In "The Living Daylights", the KGB bloke doubles his role with the milk round. One catch though- his milk bottles have grenades in them. You could always offer Mr.Taliban a bowl of cornflakes with a special surpirse "thrown in". Back to top You're not a to...

Normally I aim for rather more considered and constructive comment, but in this case I'll permit an exception. GoTW; you are a complete tool. You're light years away from being any part of the armed forces. You lack the maturity and common sense, obvious from the utter detritus that you frequently p...

Hello all, Ground truth from Afghanistan - II Sqn are arbing around KAF, trying to decide whether or not they're trying to look like SF, or just pretending to be the real 2 Para. The RAF Regt is not currently in Helmand, although during 16 AAs time, the RAF Regt provided a number of very capable JTA...

Armybrat - You're guessing, and it shows. Artist, beards are up to each individual CO, although the official line is one of "cultural" reasons. The Afghans appear to have greater respect for men with beards. It's mainly BRF and 45 who are bearded up - people in daily contact with Afghan tr...

I'm not connected to the AACC, nor have I worked at CTC but I recall a Dento, and a couple of MAs being sent on it to improve their skills prior to J week. It's a fairly new course (three years?) but I understand that it's of value to those who have very little infantry experience. It does appear to...

In terms of raising military skills, the Medical Assistant Military Awareness Course (MAMAC) is run at CTC. I think it's run by the Reserve Forces Training Team (RFTT), but I'm not sure. From memory, it's two weeks long and is intended as a military skills beat up, not a physical prep. The Corps wil...

All of the docs serving with the RM are from the RN. It's always tough to get enough RN Docs through the All Arms, so those who pass tend to stay exclusively with RM Units, although not always front line. The service will never make any promises, but I've seen plenty of blue lidded docs in units, so...

"Herod (73-4 BCE) was the pro-Roman king of the small Jewish state in the last decades before the common era. He started his career as a general, but the Roman statesman Mark Antony recognized him as the Jewish national leader. During a war against the Parthians, Herod was removed from the scen...

Come on, at least read what you've written before you post. It's a litany of errors. You are to grammar what King Herod is to baby sitting. Perhaps if it's more coherent, people will be less likely to launch into vitriolic abuse and more willing to give you opinion a hearing. Please, for the sake of...

I think your gen is a little duff. UK MoD policy is to fly bodies in C17s which contain no other cargo. To this end, it may sometime take a short period of time to generate the free space in the operational tempo. There are no criteria on the number of bodies; the C17 that flew Mne Wright home is an...
