I know its a stupid question but do they wear DPM's for the shoot or what?
I just can't imagine them showing up on the range in their navy blues.To close with and kill the enemy in all weather conditions, night and day and over any terrain

Turning up on the range in our navy blues is exactly what we do!
We get issued our own combats for a reason and they are a very good dress. Why would we wear DPM's? its not our uniform.
I vaguely remember something about the army trying to get the navy to wear DPM's on the range but I dont think this worked. Not quite sure on the specifics.

Originally posted by LanersA steaming certificate means a person is qualified to steer a ship . Nothing to do with the propulsion system of a ship.
for those who know .......or think they know....a steam endorsment on your eng officer of the watch ticket means that your qualified to operate both motor vessels and vessels with steam turbines and boilers as opposed to a standard ticket which only allowes the bearer to operate plant on motor ships.......
why would any self respecting engineer want to be up on the bridge playin ****in race cars with a bunch of windowlickers whose biggest job is counting fire extinguishers......Pussyand Gunsmoke.......live by one, die by the other, and love the smell of both in the morning!!

There is no engineering branch in NSR anymore....only seamen. Although think on patrol they would love to have you there"Join the army....see the world....meet interesting people....then kill them!"

Switching to the slua
Can anyone tell me if there is a process by which you can transfer from the FCA to the slua? In other words do I retain my rank or pay scale or do i have to leave the fca and start all over again in the slua??
P.s. I know they are now called "the irish naval reserve" and "the reserve defence forces" its just clearer this way.
