Alright royal. You are supposed to be at FPG to do the SFSG acquaint, but that said I have had friends who have wangled their way onto an acquaint without having to come up to fassers, but as it's the CO up here that decides who goes to SFSG, the chances of you getting on an acquaint without spendin...

Pussers beltkit by far mate. I think most lads who went with the old gucci arktis bits of kit ended up hangin out, as it's basically like wearing an assault vest with stacks of weight (800-1200 link plus grenades etc.) which is a mega hang out for your back, a right pain in the tits in the prone and...

I'd have to agree with both arguments to a point. Now i'm at a unit I watch what I eat and take supplements etc. to try and maximise my gains/performance. However, when I was a nod my diet was pretty bluddy shocking, and I still managed to pass out. I wouldn't go to breakfast, but smash as much scra...

Typical bluddy shower dodgers. It's become 'fashionable' to oppose the wars in Iraq and Afghan, even though half of them don't have a clue what the hell the situation is like over there. Makes me sick, I pay my taxes and work hard and then I couldn't even get in a club in pompey the other week becau...

Haha, they certainly are honking mate! I've seen a few, and it weren't pretty! In all seriousness though, it's only a laugh, and it's only one night! To get on SFSG you need to have done a year out of the box and preferably operational experience too. Im going to get myself on the next acquaint, it ...

Good advice would be to do some circuits I think mate, to get your heart rate used to yo-yoing up and down, as several times when I was a nod at CTC I saw the AACC getting a right going over on the bottom field by the PTI's. It seems this is common to every course and there isn't really any way of g...

Don't panic about it mate, you'll crack it, no worries. I remember 2 lads in my troop both got pulled out at 26 miles and then both cracked it the following day on woodbury common, which will obviously all be familiar ground to you and will be a bit less punishing terrain. Dig deep mate, best of luc...

It is indeed mate. Total nobber! and lucky me I have an audience with him next week over me being a naughty boy ashore :oops: I remember him coming to introduce himself to our squadron. He straight off the bat assumed we had all only served at FPG and gave us a hoofin chat about how his priority was...

What a lot of people seem to be failing to realise is that pilots don't just fly over and drop their bombs all over the shop where they think the enemy could be. They get talked onto the target by someone on the ground. Im not speculating anything here, but it could just as easily be a mistake by an...

Basically mate there are no differences between the commandos. They can all deploy to the same places and do the same jobs. However, while I was at 42 I reckon phys wise both 45 and 40 had an edge on us (especially my unfit company!) However, that was just the impression I got at the time, So no quo...

Load carrying..
Just a quick one, obviously 69Ibs is what you're carrying in training for yomps basically, where all you have to do is keep in stop and mong out, which most people can cope with. However, when you are away in afgan or wherever, weights increase dramatically. My webbing weighed around 35-40Ibs plus o...

Neggers. It was just two of the lads from the troop that came out (or at least got filmed) for the last month of the tour. However, the cameraman also filmed a YO batch through training and followed one of these YO's to afghan as well, and actually filmed some half decent stuff (that said im not sur...
