What sort of questions are on it?

I took an RAF version once which had questions like "Which system in a car does the coil belong to: a) Ignition b) Central Locking c) Steering"

Ive read some very long and detailed reports on the SA80 and it would indeed appear that the A2 is as reliable as any other modern assault rifle.

Having said that, in the desert, ANY rifle (M16, G36, etc) will come accross a stoppage eventually, as will the SA80.

America is also having a similar ...

Hmmm B20 is a dodgy one because there are so many conflicting versions of the story... Im no expert but Ive read McNab's version and seen the BBC's documentary which is basically the opposite, plus theres Ryan's version which is somewhere in between...

Sandhurst / Officer training

Hey folks,
I was down at my local AFCO applying for the paras when I learned (to my surprise) I had enough a-levels to try for an officer entry, so I took that option...

Just wondering what peoples thoughts on Sandhurst are... I know its a long one - three 14 week courses?

Thanks for any insight :)

Funny either way - when ...
