The RAF Regt. are now armed the same as all other infantry except we have not yet got our hands on Javelin.

Right mate I passed out in September from the depot so here goes: Weeks 1-9 Basically the billy basics of military life, loads of drill, loads of inspections, loads of phys, and you will learn all about the IW fire it progressivle and fire the APWT in about week 8 I think it is. You will get introdu...

Wrong, wrong, wrong para01, more duf gen about the regt, have seen the phot, it is in kandahar working with the canadians over there. I have a number of mates on II and it is hairy over there by all acounts, gate guard doesn't feature. If he was an FAC he wouldn't be in II sqn. he'd be on a TACP som...

The only people who call them guins are RAF Regt, any bloke in the RAF who's not in the corps is as such a guin. Yes the RAF teach you to drive, at least in the corps they do anyway, teach you to drive up to HGV if so required. Wind your tits in anyway, you are talking about stuff you know nothing a...

yep and all arms cdo

II sqn. have a back log of people needing jumps anyway so I have been told. But the regiment is still gonna be able to get certain people on jumps i.e. those in the SFSG and those in JNBCR both are very high priority because of their role in supporting SF. The armed forces have been shat on since fo...

Eventually they are but they have had trouble getting perce all trained up to standard quick enough to take over by the time they wanted. Rapier guys are gonna re enforce the field sqns as they're undermanned with 15 going from rapier to field role. 16 has been disbanded, 26 is still live and not su...

People who slag the corps off are those that don't understand it and fear it! The RAF Regt's role is pro active aggresiv defense of all RAF assets, people seem to think this means guarding an airfield, forgetting that crab air does actually get around off the APOD every now and again, but understate...

Yes there are oggy rocks but there are only a few squdrons about. I will tell you this now, I don't know what your take home money is in the plod but as an LAC on botom payband for LAC you will be getting about 730 a month after having food & accom, life insurance etc. taken out of the pay, whic...

I'm not a marine or para, i'm in the raf regt, when we did our phys, the first 9 weeks were fitness phys, circuits in the gym, swimming circuits (you can make a pool a very painful place) and progressive running from 3 miles up to 9 and then introductions to running in boots, then after week 9 we we...

I had the worst incident of this during training, had been good boys and were allowed on the pop over the weekend before a field week, so off we merrily well went out to Newmarket, small, not mch happening except horses, but a good piss up, plus associated horse riding chicks in abundance Anyway nig...

I always thought that when I pased out I would want to go round gobbing off how woderful I was and what a glamorous panty peeling job I do, truth is 2 things, 1) Have since found levels of glamour in this job are considerably less than first expected! 2) When asked what I do now or asked things by p...

As for rocks never being targetted pull the other one, it just doesn't get reported as no fatalities equals no news as far as the media's concerned, a regt patrol got hit the other week in iraq, luckily the IED was triggered too late and the brunt of the blast missed the wagon otherwise we would hav...

Yes they do.

Let me sum up the above comment in one word........no.
Don't give out any names on here either, nor should you ask for them, personal security issue.
