Daggers

Evidently, you are also missing the point.
I don't have much more to say on this subject, except that I would not
try to prove my machismo online, on a website.
Why would you like to see my CV - are you a Recruitment consultant?
I would not fear showing it to you or anyone else. As it happens, I ...

Rubber Daggers

By the way John D,

Thanks for the kind words, but I'm lost about what the mistake was?
If some RMR guys think they are being slated because I, a mere regular RM Officer has the audacity to think I can give an opinion about the RMR, and its equivalence to regular training, then I am very sorry ...

RMR

This is hopefully my last post on this topic.
The comment 'join the professionals' should not intimidate anyone in the RMR. It means 'professional' - ie full time. If it sounds élitist to you, then I suggest you become a little less sensitive - I am sure you are a very professional man in whatever ...

RMR

Listen, before this starts to lose the point, I am not anti-RMR. Nor have I said anything that indicates the RMR are less than professional.
If we refer to the original question, from a prospective recruit, about the RMR,and whether their training is exactly the same as in the Corps. I state that it ...

RMR

In reply to the above, there are a few issues.
First, the standards of an RMR course are nowhere near that of regular training. Do you, or have you worked at CTCRM? If you disagree, that is your right. My experience tells me different.
Second, RMR nods do attempt the course as often as they like ...

RM PR

Yorkie,

You have hit the nail on the head. The problem is the Corps' PR.
We have always been too modest. I saw the programme you guys are discussing, and it was disgusting.
It is exactly the same as 40 Cdo RM in Kabul since December. A couple of mentions about them on the news, and the odd snippet ...

Bootnecks on Selection

Everything Griff said above is bollocks.
Every Bootneck on Selection has to carry double the weight in their bergans (and complete each yomp in 1 hour less)compared to everyone else. Additionally, they have to drink every night downtown in Hereford during the course, and batter the local hard men on ...
