    Just spotted this on the RDFRA site.

    Well done and many congratulations to Lieutenant Murphy.....

    Fair play to him. From the sounds of it his Civvie qualifactions/experience came heavily in to play, a sign of things to come for RDF memebrs.

      "Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "

            He works for a large MNC as a comms engineer and it took him 2 years to convince them that he'd be able for it. Funnily enough he was an artillery man & is not in Bde HQ (not CIS corps).

              The reality is he is probably better qualified and experinced they the rest of them who were ordered to go.

                Heard second hand from an excellent source today that a reservist is going overseas in a few months (I presume on short term commission)

                  then he won't be a reservist will he.

                  Again where are the application forms for this. No one's asked me to apply.

                      He is at the moment, will he be when he comes back (ie how does he rejoin)??

                        And we have a H&S instructor and EMT (who qualifies DF MMF personnel) who are not allowed do manual handling courses or first aid in the RDF

                              Can you elaborate on this a bit more?

                              Who can't do Manual Handling and First Aid courses in the RDF??
                              I went into an Italian restaurant and ordered dessert and they gave me tiramisu and a blindfolded horse and I said No, I said mask a pony (mascarpone)
