Ok cheers Long Timer.

Since this date the Squadron has been responsible for the 350 square kilometre Ground Defence Area (GDA) around KAF.

Well I was close lol

400kms does seem a bit much now you say it.
I got that from sky news where fact and fiction sometimes cross paths.

Fair points there Alfa but don't the RAF Regiment controll 400km's around the base so they have quite a large area of operations?

Ok cheers will have to see what happens.

Numbers..

I am sure i heard on sky news (Mite be wrong) that they was about 600 taliban in the area hence the need for more troops to be flown in.

But Im sure the RAF Regiment will play a big part in it after all the air base and the surroundings are under there protection.

I think the point of this is what would happen to you if you didnt take your tables?

Say you ran out wile out in Afghan?

Hello all.

I understand that near the end of the gunner course theres the chance for people to learn to drive, so my question is if you already have a licence could you learn to drive a HGV or even get a motorcycle licence?

Cheers.

Yes you do.

Haha love it apart from the big bloke

I don't think this will ever happen, I can't see how it would help recruitment as they can only train as many people that apply surly?

Why not join whatever regiment you like and then take up skydiving as a hobby.
