that all members of the Wing featured in the mag have - pixelisation !
Don't think it's fatal, though...."Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"

It wasnt in the Cosantoir. It was the centrespread of the Connect newsletter.The same poster is currently being distributed to PDF units along with the posters advertising selection course TANGO ONE. BTW while it is a fairly good list generally it is also selection specific.Designed to replacate a given weight for the tests and long range unsupported patrolling.Perhaps not the best packing list for general Infantry work.Having said that we used something similar on the STD NCO course."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.

Would this strictly apply to the CIS chaps? Or are there "alternative" uses for the IDC Insertion Tool and waterproof pair connectors in your experience?

Nobody has mentioned Chocolate Hobnobs yet? Essential kit, in my day!'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.
