We are still being sent on ops straight from training, beit the Falklands, Sierra Leone or Iraq we are still getting shot at, so in that respect nothing has changed.Shoulderholster wrote:Fark me! you know those sinks are just for show,I agree Mr Green,these lads have it cushy dhobi slut! warm water!.

Edit to add:
How on gods earth do you move that?Paratrooper01 wrote: Moving house is a very good way to describe it. Having said that, moving from depot to battalion is much worse, 2 massive MFO boxes of kit, plus all your uniform and equipment for Brize Norton which has to be kept separate.
For some reason I think I need to learn to drive, You can't get that on a train.

All you need to do is take your army grips with you to battalion. Both of your MFO boxes get sent in a truck from Catterick to Colchester and will be in battalion when you arrive....if you survive the jumps coursejabcrosshook wrote:How on gods earth do you move that?
