Well-done Foxtricks! Passed off the square? How many more weeks to go?

Nice one foxtricks. :D

I thik the orange tabs are given to new recruits,so that if they make a mistake,the drill instructors(?) can see that they are new..

one question,you said that of 55,there were only 45 left...

why did they leave/get booted out?

cheers, hi, yeah the orange tabs are just to show everyone ur stupid basically and when you do something wrong they're a *little* more leniant about it. now tho we're supposed to know what we're doing.

i think we started with 55 and thats now down to 47, i think its

3 medical discharges
2 backtrooped due to illness (i think both have opted out now)
3 opt-outs

and thats only after 3 weeks...
