Ahhhhh

the confusion is gone!

i was trying to figure out what military acronym it was, and what an ISTR might be!

in what capacity did you work with the HAC guys?

there certainly isnt much information to be found about the HAC anywhere?

cheers

I used to do light guns (A (Liverpool Irish) Troop, 208 Bty RA, hence the name), so did courses with their gun bunnies and went to Sandhurst with a couple of them. Nothing spectacular, I had a choice of the officer or the madly warrie route a while back.

Nice people.

Is the HAC Partols Sqn only in London then mate? Also for your Phase 1 training how does that work? Oh an sorry to be such a spaz but are they reservists?

[johnnyboy]

Yes mate its only in London, they are based out of Finsbury Barracks in the city, and yes they are TA, they have a reg counterpart 4/73.

What is strange is that when mobilised the regs fall under the command of the HAC, to the regs will work for the HAC, it is the only ARRC (Allied Rapid Reaction Corps) STA sqn.

here is a link with some info

as for phase one training, you can either do their basic recruits course (6 months long) 1 w/e a month then go on to the Patrol selection course (another 6 months) or if you are already a trained soldier you can go direct entry to the PSC course and skip recruits, look at the link for better info or PM me with specifics i'd be glad to help if i can.#
