"I think to do well in the Marines you have to REALLY want it. My mates were telling me that they dont look at it from a career or challenge point of view they just want that green beret, "
IF THE RAF REGT had this ethos they would have a recruitment winner maybe. fair enough you have the raf regt mudguards but hardly earnt through blood snot and sweat that the marines have done to earn their mudguards. raf reg i think are wisening up to that fact that people actually want to belong to a unit thats f*ckin hard to join and as such are being more stricter both mentally and physically towards the applicants in the aplication process. about time too!
i think RAF REGT needs something to separate it from the guins . i hated those lot (no offence guins if your reading as i know its mutual
) but come on, the only thing that links them is the base their both stationed on (oh yeah and the job regt are tasked to).
personally thinking i think the whole of future RAF Regt training should have its 2sqn ethos stamped all over it but then i am biased. but also one could argue 'if it aint broke dont fix it' ....in other words airborne mantra works BIG TIME.
