looks like not happening... will be running in the commando speed march next year in scotland though."He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

no worries, best of luck in Scotland, i can try jack this up for next year if any Irish DF units are up for it - we certainly are and there should be no excuse not to to be honest once you have a team of motivated soldiers as we have made it as simple and welcoming as possible to look after a team from the Irish DF, once they make the trip over here.

Outstanding achievement by @defenceforces 3 Infantry Battalion based in #Kilkenny. Winners in UK of silver medal in #ExerciseCambrianPatrol18 after 67Km patrol. Their professionalism is in the best traditions of #ÓglaighnahÉireann #physicalcourage #strengthenthenation https://t.co/KdWXsEY09b

More news.
On a side note the coverage that the Irish team got on the Army in Wales Twitter page was notable in its absence.Which is a nice way of saying that they got F**k all coverage! Even Reserve and UOTC units had videos of their (silver)medals being presented as did the majority of the Foreign teams.No sign of the Paddies though. Bad form when you consider that they did so well.Last edited by apod; 22 October 2018, 19:53."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.
