It was in the paper a few weeks ago. There is also a nice lump sum for marines who left in the last few years. They are being offered up to £6000 to re join the corps. The thing with recruits is, if they return because of the money, is that who is really wanted? They have to really want it enough, n...

They now can be allowed to setlle in UK, see here. Not all are allowed to though, only those that left the Army after 1997, lets hope it gets sorted out soon for those that left before then too, they deserve it. Mr Blair said: "The Gurkhas have served this country with great skill, courage and ...

Haven't you already asked this on another thread ?

Which both of us geniuses answered!

and hasn't changed in the 40 odd years since I last went thro them........

It isnt going to change anytime soon, since last year the RE came re-dug all the tunnels and fortified them, ready to last at least another 50 years!

Lee, the only tunnel that is totally submerged in water is only a couple of metres long. At that stage you will be with 2 oppos, one at each end of the tunnel to push and pull you through. So if you kick you're going to knock out your oppo, not good when he's got other things on his mind! :wink: The...

Thats another thing that gets me, people who collect medals, shoulder flashes and things like that. WHY?? They haven't earned them, what are they going to do with them, show them to their grandchildren and when they ask what they did to get them, "Ah, well, I got a good deal on this one, the bl...
