RTE : Exercise Slaney, 02/03/08 Army reserves train in Co Wicklow

[TimTim]

jesus Lads you'd think that the NCO's would have made sure that basic things like camming your head gear was done. Even a Bush hat would look a bit more pro than that last lad.

Details like that can be worked on in whatever happens to be the next exercise, the more important thing that is the whole thing seemed to work.

[hedgehog]

while it wasnt 100% perfect

and in all my years I have never been on a 100% perfect exercise

I thought it looked great and the uber civy that is mrs hog

asked is that the army.

well done to all concerned - a benchmark has been set and a high one at that

[Ex Brit]

Nothing wrong with 58 web if its in good order and worn properly doubt to many people noticed it on the 12 seconds or so that was on tv anyway. Well done to all involved were ye fighting fantasians or the dreaded redlandians

[ODIN]

I wonder when the South or West will do something similar

[Dazzler]

ODIN I happen to knwo when, but for obvious reasons won't say. At least what it is I think is the same hard to judge seeing as it was only a few seconds.

JNS Did ye have to pass Physical fitness Tests?

Are you trying to say you dont need to be fit to do an RDF exercise??????????????????????

[concussion]

No, she's saying you don't need to complete your ITs and get your AF 717 (?) completed before going on an exercise.

[spudula]

video

I'm with the above, I can't open the link form either here or the RTE site and I have Real Player, is this on Youtube yet?

A

[luchi]

It opened fine for me. If you are using MS security products they sometimes interfere with real player.

I think it looked well.

Sorry I missed it. I've been down with Flue for the past week.

I really love the great shots of the lads from the support corps.

[spudula]

Install realplayer.

I have the latest realplayer. it still wont open.

[Dazzler]

hahahahaha... no. it's only an RDF exercise. Whyw oudl there be fitness tests before it?

Huh? Strange to me anyway cos my whole unit is Required Pass fitness Tests to do something soon. Where soon is any time in the next 200 years of course.

Or at least we have been told we have to. THEY could be lying to us just to get us in Shape for it cos its gonna be hard and stuff.

[Come-quickly]

AFAIK almost everyone had helmet covers and everyone had helmets.

However quite a few helmet covers were not properly secured to said helmets.

I suspect the bare headed rascal in the last pic probably threw off his helmet to put his peltors on and had yet to put it back on when the cameras rolled.
