a WHOLE HOUR AWAY!? the average commute in london is an HOUR
i actually (used) to spend a minimum of 90 minutes to spend my evening/weekend STABing - and that was if public transport was kind to me.
if you want it, you will do it - as everyone else says.

To be fair though, the average London commuter wears a suit and carries a briefcase.
Your average squaddo will be carrying all the stuff for a weekend, and probably hanging about in train stations at slghtly more anti-social times than 8 and 5.
If you go somewhere close, you're more inclined to go regulary.

That's putting it rather nicely I thought.
What TA unit are/were you in Spooky? If you don't mind me asking. PM me if you don't want to post it up here.

I've been to a few TAC's that might have been better off in a caravan
Anyone here in the Midlands at all?
London with all the kit?

never heard of putting the green into something that is not so as to disguise what your carrying as any other bag of kit?
concealment

I've never used concealer
That and I would have thought putting a 25kg bergen into another bag to carry would just bring on unnecessary shouting and swearing.

I'll think I'll taste a bit.
I must have got the recipe wrong,
Cos this stuff tastes like...bananas"

About the same as the RN then. I was looking at that 9 minute figure there thinking of how there was no way I could do that and stand up at the end of it lol!
