I'll ask my old boss, he is with them now, find out if he knows him. Chally 2's don't need to be agile, they are virtually indestructable and can...
Afraid not Kruska, mate of mine is though. I'm a brigade asset at the mo involved in surveillance stuff, getting to travel a lot and seeing some...
We can't get tanks out here so RTR and most other cav regiments are getting trained up for MOG stuff or straight forward infantry roles (like the...
Well there are now 2 Royal Tank Regiments, one doesn't have any tanks and the other won't shortly, which makes life easier. I also missed out the...
Oh, it's all fairly simple, originally they were all numbered and named after their colonels which got a bit complicated when you wound up with...
True, so it's not all bad! Our Paras have been lucky because they have a lot of guys in top jobs protecting them, just like the RGJ did, that's...
Urqh, damn right, there have been more horses used by British troops in Afghanistan than there have been paratroops dropped! CVR(t) is doing it's...
Thats in Kandahar mate, to be honest though when I was there I couldn't be bothered to fight my way to the front of the massive queue of loggies...
Kruska, I get that but since we now can't afford to put PARAs through their jumps course, haven't got any planes to drop them from, haven't got...
Honestly, MREs are terrible, they taste like the packaging. Plus it is all processed and recombined, at least our stuff looks like it may have...
Re. Paras, not needed! We just launched the biggest airborne operation since god knows when (Korea probably though I don't know for sure) and...
Carl, you are certainly right about one thing, the need for open government. Meetings behind closed doors, information on major policy decisions...
I've been on MREs recently and they are fairly dire too, not surprised your guys like to swap for our rations!
Interesting chart, when I get time it'd be interesting to see how it is put together. Ultimately though it raises an interesting question, to...
What change do you want? Obama is trying to bring 'change' but is being prevented from doing so by the 'opposition' over there. Bush brought...
That should work better!
It sure does! They've been throwing kit at me like it's going out of fashion: Home sweet home!
I can't say I've seen it, not recently anyhow. Aside from the winter olympics Canada hardly makes our press.
I rather liked Grand Tourino too, it was almost Eastwoods 'the Shootist' (not that he is dieing but you take the point).
See I really like Unforgiven, it is entertaining at the very least.
