    well lads - the offer is there - the Ops Officer called me today and was keen to get things off the ground, despite the operations we are involved in.

    would be a shame to waste this genuine offer.

    Sounds like a good gig.

            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.

                Well done to all.
                For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

                    More news.
                    Waterford's Lt Shane Flood and Cpl Sean Fleming were part of a Defence Forces team that made Ireland proud over the weekend in Wales. They won silver medals at the Cambrian Patrol in the Brecon Beacons, an annual international event considered the "toughest military exercise worldwide". Ei...



                    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.

                    "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.
