I got issued a boot cleaning kit back around 2012 2 good quality brush, a buffing cloth and guardsman gloss in a fabric bag

Most recent phones record in high enough quality. Simple innovation like this is always important.

Rsms differ.

It has been,But it's a cop out. Just says "as ordered"(IE when to wear). But nothing consistent across the DF. Individual units doing their own...

Not sure if my phone recording would be of high enough quality to make it to the DF YouTube page, where something like this could be easily accessed....

no requirement for AV section ? record something on your phone ?

There’s massive directives going around from RSMs

Hopefully the chaos will lead to an update of A9. However, the boots being new, shiny, and possibly the only decent pair some personnel have, they...

A derelict found at sea, is reportable, and a decision on it's fate is a priority. In this case an unlit object weighing more than a 1000 tonnes and...

I'm really sorry and with respect I'm going to disagree with you. If I was a Commanding Officer, and there was no legal obligation upon me, there...

Yup me too

Certainly HMS Enterprise carried stores from Cyprus to Beirut and assisted with some survey and principally supplied a feeding station for 500...

Didn't the RN do something similar with Beiruit port after the explosion last year?

RIP

Worth noting that HMS Magpie was built in Cork, and a similar vessel is in use by INFOMAR here. https://www.infomar.ie/surveys/vessels/rv-mallet

In today's Navy News, using standard RN installed surface radar, coupled with a new Bathymetric software, HMS Magpie was able to do a complete...

The ALTA was voluntarily abandoned, albeit because US rescuers wanted to remove the crew to safety before an imminent hurricane struck. Some months...

Except that the ship which came across her was an unarmed (except 7.62 machine guns) Antarctic Survey vessel...not a warship...HMS Protector...and as...

Copernicus Satellite system is geared towards identifying aberrations in large areas of the Earths sea surface such as coral bleaching, algae blooms,...

Not saying your wrong But “basic skills” are different from what they were..... this is a FFD to MFR

On this point endless debate and so much time wasted by continuing to throw sand in the mix. Basic skills only and then develop.

I am so angry at RDFRA I will just say "horse-puckey" . They had every chance to canvass the membership. Commission was announced in the Programme...

I did say that this was going to happen

Absolutely but the expectations of the soldier are different and so is the role. Compare training on 303 v Steyr, 77 set v SINCGARS, basic first aid...

In the RDFRA's defence; if they had to solicited everyone's ideas and responses they wouldn't have been able to put out the coherent and complete...

thats OK I wasn't either. You are perfectly free to put in your own submission.

If there not then you must establish a very basic common denominator in training for RDF so they can be useful in a dedicated role ie secruity...

Not really in this case. It's not an active system. You have to analyse large patches of the surface of the earth to try and find what you are...

PDF Captive audience FCA private in 1986 expected to serve beside PDF as well (me, and did) , mounted the guard in the same way as the other...

Exactly .... it was the Minister who made it about overseas troop missions. Except look at what has happened with some promotions to Sgt. There...

Going to happen with fabric boots

The proposed change from Chuck merely enables RDF travel overseas for small engagements not large scale troop missions . Don't mistake this as...

And this refers back to my earlier question ref the legalities around sinking this vessel. As far as I know both the RN and USCG, having come...
