That's pretty accurate, but you forgot about Jeremy Kyle!

Croker.... Sir!! FAIL..... Sir

I hope it is, he makes me feel really inadequate!

Why don't you just try and get posted to the SFSG?

I'll give you old school ally, but we're on a new level of ally as yet unquantifiable by man!

That's a f*cking really sensible attitude! Spend the rest of your career in some sh*t unit just because you're impatient, put the effort in and do it right.

Is that post adoptive or post operative?

Seconded Dwarfy.

It means you've only been in the army two minutes, basically you're the bottom of the pile, receiver of the sh*t jobs etc.

It won't be a problem as long as you're not due to go away, you're entitled to leave to get married and you being a crow won't matter.

People will definitely take the piss, but that's part of the army, everyone has the piss taken out of them, you just have to give as good as you get. It shouldn't hamper your career unless you let it.

Cheers for that Tab

Bataz... no more Rifles?

No real difference. They have slightly different company set ups (D Company 2 Para is a rifle Company, whereas D Coy 3 Para is Patrols ), but that's it. I'd say 3 Para were more 'ally' but all that stuff depends on what's allowed by head shed. They do they same job.

A general sh*t attitude amongst a lot of the recruits in there. There's a lot of bluffers and no hopers waiting to get out. Some guys get sucked into the chilled regime and lose the love for where they originally wanted to be and basically give up.
