The worlds longest serving cadet? you know all these magical tricks...getting a sleeping bag in your bergan with ur feet still in it...magical!!

same if your going through a river your bergan isnt always going to stay dry...why again do they issue those dry bags to put them in...waste of MoD money really! lets all listen to you...

what happens if your rumbled...your in your sleeping bag, you jump to your bergan whilst making sure your rifle is ready, rig ready and in the middle of jumping into your bergan ( the image is amusing in its self ) and whilst jumping in you trip and fall whilst rolling around like a sack of s**t a big nasty cadet meany comes in and goes...bang:) got ya hehehehehe..now have a drink pally old chum...

Wow Sleevles. That is really good advice.

If only the actual Army taught recruits how to pack their Bergens properly. I suppose they'll never learn eh? They should take some heed from the Cadets, they could really learn a lot.

Are you joining the army?

nah i just listen. sorry i didnt want to give the big boys advice i just it might be helpfull to other cadets seeing as a cadet did start the thread using the site (own up! you know who you are!!!) i find it usefull when i do exercises and so do the RGJ CTT but i suppose they are just CTT and we are just cadets. i will no longer patronise you with my pointless information...

ps. ive applied for the RGJ TA and been told ive been accepted into basic.

Clueless, what you probably heard about ref the sleeping bag, feet inside bergen etc relates to the arctic bergen. It was waterproof, and had an extending bag inner. It was feasible to wrap your upper half in a poncho to keep dry, while placing your feet and legs inside the bergen while in your slug. I think this was only intended for use with casualties, as where do you put your spare kit?

A little harsh Sticky? Short hand txting... I mean it's all the rage these days, it will no doubt be an 'A' Level qualification soon.

If you're giving birth, can I come take photos and we can get rich courtessy of the national enquirer.
Remind me not to cross the regs... like a pack of wild dogs... but looking good doing it... lol

Our sleeping bag was a light weight blanket and a Pancho.

We didn't have sleeping bags, we had to remove all our clothes, roll ourselves in leaves and fall asleep within 3 minutes, otherwise it was back on watch. Wellard.

I've got one due about 0750 in the morning, failing that any morning about the same time
