To paraphrase [...] In the opinion of a PDF Engineer officer, there are no tradesmen/plant operators in the RDF who are in Engineer units.

That's what uniform allowance is for
That thesis is not online but I'm sure you can get a copy easy enough."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"

Originally posted by Auldsod View PostI'm sure someone here will have the knowledge. Was there any Army Reserve recruit training last year? I know the NSR equivalent didn't go ahead."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)!"

mm not convinced, BUT it does make me think the DF should have a big badge NCO ( 1 off . , serves the same time as the COS ) for the whole force with the right to speak it as he saw it ( for both PDF and RDF ) ."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"

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.
