    Military.ie should be able to give you the unit locations, but assuming you're in Donegal Town, you're looking at between a two and a half and three and a half hour one way trip for the three nearest Cav/Arty units.
    What are you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem.

          Most units outside of the minority of locations are now solely infantry.

            Also both cav and arty have been seriously contaminated by former infantry types. Turn up in a Mowag and they all head for the back door. Turn up with a 105 And they attach a sling to the barrel and try to pack the wheels in their backpack...
            For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

              The only people going to the Cav and Arty are Pte's.Usually those who couldn't hack it in proper Infantry units. NCO's can't get in to the Corpse units as their vacancies are ringfenced by Annex XYZ. Probably because they are afraid that an influx of steely eyed dealers of death would upset their fry ups on the gun line or tie knots in their racoon tails.
              "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.

                        "THE Battalion"?(Like there was no other Bn in the Country)

                        All mad,bad 100% Infantry.

                        Until they thought they might have to move out of Cork.

                        Then they had to slum it and suck it up.
