      Sporting firearms that have undergone a rigorous conversion process from their original military firearm role

          Don't have it to hand but I think the newer discharge cert (see Admin Instr R5 c2005) just has dates of attestation and discharge.

          AFAIK however it has reason for discharge, in this case it would say something along the lines of 2 years on non-effective list (at least that is the current position).

                unlike the Infantry - or any of the other assorted rabble - a Gunner knows how to dress without having to be told...

                • Oh well in fairness, this was last year I guess, and it wasnt the uniform per se that was the problem, i mean the gunners that IM talking about, well they had actually managed to put the trousers and shirts on the right body parts - even the right way around in some cases - it was probably, oh the 2 foot long grey pony tail and, I dunno, the sideburns and biker beard which are so 1918 right now, that seemed somewhat lacking in de rigeur!

                  gunners... the hells angels of the army

                    they sound rather like tramps - are you sure they weren't Loggies or other such lowlife who'd rifled through the stores looking for something to hide their shame?

                    • we had an influx of arty into the glen last year to fire the 120s (i think) and they honestly looked very messy indeed.

                        Some of them recently got "reorged" into infantry, it's going to be entertaining on summercamp.

                            Have one but I don't think it's the one I should have. The rifle is 1944 but the bayonet is a later model

                              there was a PA in Cork. who was a biker.

                              He had a pony tail which was fine as he managed for many years to conceal it under his cap....until he found himself one day for Prayers.........off cap...hair down to his arse......!
