I thought it was legal to have a blade of less than 3 inches in a public place

on test week in feburary the first thing we were given was a sheet of paper with the different weights for each march, obviously without the routes, which we already new.
on this it also had a section for females. i'll give you an example.. day 1 weight = 55lbs + 4lbs for carrying rubberised diemaco, and then in the adjoining section women 25lbs + rifle and so on...
What a puzzling form
personally I passionately believe that women should be allowed 55lbs bergens

I got one when I started training Flo, filled it with wieghts and ran along the canal, done my knee ligaments in when doing so and had to rest and basically start training from scratch, anyway, what Im trying to say is respect to those who can and have done it, I'll get there soon. Oh an if you havent done it, try it before you say anything
Im starting to get quite chatty on here eh, haha

Hope you didnt think I was having a go at you Flo, I was pretty sure you had at least tried it.
And you give other people a row for insinuating rude things

Why do people who have no idea and no positive contribution to a certain thread feel the need to pollute it with boring drivel that no-one actually cares about?
If you've got nothing that actually adds to the content of the thread, why do you bother posting? It's quite sad.

right back on topic there is a new sig unit just formed (18th uksf) sigs regiment now these guys encompass what used to be 264 and 63 SAS sigs (63 who recruite girlie girls ) tada there you go mystery solved also there is also SD special duites some of which take on the farier sex who may have to do the good old test week now this being public knowledge i have no qualms about posting this here but posting the weights that said split arses have to carry and asking about them in a public forum instead of asking DS who they were (or wating till you were OPSEC cleared to find out) i find rather cheeky can see you doing well in the reg pass course and off down town with beret on for piss up aye? remeber passing test week doesnt equate to getting in guy on my course failed on last day of battle camp because none of the ds liked him and didnt trust him think about it

Well I think his point being that the females who were seen in Feb when the other bloke was on test week could have been out and about doing the Sigs version of selection or there as some part of special duties selection.
Also, I think sloth is saying that the original poster should have asked the DS if he was so interested ref the weight difference
Also, his last statement is correct...just because you get thru test week on part one, doesn't mean to say that you are going to pass selection.
And if its Mike_222 that you are refering to ref his post about people posting drivel on the thread, then he too has a valid point.
On a topic with 29 replies, only 2 have tried to answer the original posters question.
There is banter and there is dross and drivel.
As Mike_222 says
If you've got nothing that actually adds to the content of the thread, why do you bother posting?
Will crawl back down my foxhole now
