How are the light gunners being used in afghanistan (29cdo etc)

Are they staying with the guns and providing support or are they also conducting mounted/dismounted patrols and leaving the guns behind?

Does anyone know what the requirements are for the royal engineers please?

i.e 6/36 6/12 unaided etc etc

Anyone?

Anyone got any idea when 59 cdo are expected to become there own regiment?? (24 Eng Regt)

Im sure the episodes will appear on youtube so keep a look out on there harry

Thanks for that

Well what trades do you count as frontline? i thought thats where "combat engineer" comes into play?

Hi Tabs,

I dont quite get what you are trying to say?

Are you saying they wouldnt train you as a plumber then let you attach to 59 commando?

Ive looked at them already

Wanted to hear advice from people who have actualy done it and know about it etc

Hi everyone,

Im currentlly considerering a career in the army and in particular royal engineers as i know i will have a trade to fall back on when/if i returned to civvy street.

In particular i was interested in heating & plumbing and then was looking to "try" and get attached to the commandos ...
