Sorry to hear that. I remember Paul always took everything with unflappable humour and like a top bloke, even when I mistook him for a Yank.
Rest easy, Royal.

Re: Does anyone recognise this man?
Sure it won't be a massive surprise that no, he isn't a major with 1 PARA (science fact), and judging from that picture, he never has been. If he's actually claiming to be, you can forward details onto ARRSE, particularly The_Duke, who used to do a good line in Reg anti-walt ops. If he's simply taki...

Yes, I agree. I wouldn't at all have a problem with women joining the infantry if they met the following standards: 1. Just as strong, fit, tough and fast as a man. Which some women are definitely capable of. 2. Capable of using a multitude of weapons. To complete the same physical, mental and batt...

Ayup matey, aint seen ya round here in a while. Are you sure about the challenger 2 incident? I was lead to belive only 1 or 2 have ever been destroyed. Very sure. May well be that only 1 or 2 have been destroyed, but one of them was by an IED in Basra. I believe the official word was 'damaged', bu...

I was thinking along the same lines as Green Boil when I spotted this topic. When the Vikings were brought into service everybody said how great they were and they proved themselves in Afghan when the Marines first deployed there, that was the reason why it was decided they were to be permanently d...

Gunner, I don't know where you are to have such an insight on what information is or is not releasable concerning SFSG, but I know where you're not. They're DSF. This doesn't get talked about. That includes any serving soldiers, sailors, airmen or gunners who aren't in the unit. Go to the SF forum -...

Don't mean to shit on your parade fellas, but though they're still Reg, 1 PARA are also part of DSF, so please treat discussion of them as you would discussion of other SF issues. Namely, don't. There are ways for blokes who are in to find out about recruiting for SFSG, but discussing it over an ope...

Can't beat it if you're already piss wet through though. Spent four hours in a puddle they called an FUP outside the FIBUA village in Senny a few weeks back, with driving rain, galeforce wind, the usual joys - only warmth we got was someone taking a leak, brought a smile to my face it did. Less so i...

Plus he's dead wrong. A good pl sgt will support a new young offcecr who is keen and willing to learn to the point of shutting down mouthy tossers in the ranks. It's young offciers who gob off when they know fark all who come unstuck. Realise that the poster is long gone, but in the interests of an...

It is indeed utter bollocks. In fact, the genuinely posh at Sandhurst are few and far inbetween, and the sons/daughters of officers don't tend to perform spectacularly well here in my experience - some even crash out at the selection stage in AOSB, because there seem to be a decent number who turn u...
