I find it interesting it focused on people who all ended up leaving the regiment/forces and took a lot of time to listen to them go on about why they didnt want to be in.

I did enjoy the bit with the bloke complaining about the funding and equipment shortages, stick it to them I say!

Thanks
Good luck with the commission you will need lots of energy as you can see from that programme :wink:

Interested to think what the more experienced forum members make of it as well?

That's true but what I enjoyed was that it was filmed in a gritty way and not patronising or sensational as so many of these mob programmes can be these days.

I thought it showed our people in a very good light and highly professional:wink:
