No Female FAC's in the British armed forces, we did have a female Lynx pilot that was Ab FAC qualified but she has dropped off.

Well were going to Herrick with the booties. We did on the Al Faw and they had nothing but praise for us ''percy's'' .See you there Davo,if you want a wet mate, pop along to the QDG TACP .

Well I am an average pongo and I am fine thank you. As for the title of the thread. 3 CDO (including my good self) will be deploying on Herrick 9. Its going to be a bugger because we have to take ''redders kit'' as well as ''warmers kit'' .Impressed with the Royals so far, should be a hoofing tour.

Mate get to the careers office,and get your research in buddy.If my son asked the same question I would guide him away from the guards.

LD's are pretty good as are HCR we all have our banter as all units do,9th/12th are a little iffy.Its a bloody good job with lots of scope for different stuff. They do bang out a load of OP tours.Tank regiments do use scimitar and they are in recce troops however without boring you with the details ...

Mate in short QDG then the Light Dragoons are the only ones worth bothering with.

Mike to be honest you sound a really switched on Guy.You have taken a lot of time over your posts and with your ''wilco'' attitude I am sure you will get loads of good advice with ref to a career in the forces.We all have our own unit and corp loyalties,however the good thing about this forum is ...

Its plain to see that you had a good two hour chat with an Ex RAF REG guy.If you have a trawl around this site I am sure you will find the general feeling towards the RAF REG. Have a look at Recce regiments as well mate they have a lot to offer.

Sorry guys the tank that Iran was going to buy then didnt was actually an early Chally ,we kept the order and after a few Mods hey presto its called a Chally 1.I am on about the tank in the picture as being the vickers MKIII i believe.I started out my army time on Chally 1 and we had a few old ...

Boss remember our drunken chat in Bath on crew commanders.Rest is peace.

Faz,sorry for the delay mate,I didnt know about this forum.You were one of the good lads,never a bad word to say about anyone.Rest easy,you are sorely missed.

Ray mears has taught on some parts of SF and I have been told he is twice as boring as he sounds.

Its a Vickers MK__ not sure what number ,but it never went into service with the British Army,I think a middle east country bought a few dozen ,a bit of a poor mans Chally,we are talking early 80's

Of course there are a few guys from when putties were ''gucci'' that should get the medal they deserve.I just dont think the fact that somebody that served in the army/RN/RAF gets a medal purely on the fact he served.Its wrong.I have medals now that I know I have deserved and I have a few medals I ...

Sorry but I dont agree at all.People dont deserve a medal for having just been in the armed forces.In this current climate where lads are in contact everyday in Afghan,it cheapens it when ''cold war warriors''bleat about having a medal.Sorry I dare say not all are cold war warriors but you know what ...
