          No Im not an NCO, Im on the PNCO course and Ive did about 2 full weeks of tactics and I aint never heard of those acronyms. Ive been through orders at least 9 times, maybe the NCO's used different terminology instead of the TAM talk. Im willing to learn

            It is only by contemplation of the incompetent that we can appreciate the difficulties and accomplishments of the competent.

              Well done Mate

              I have the height of respect for a lad who when he doesnt know something

              has the bollix to ask others about it

              never be afraid to ask if your not sure or dont know

              none of us know everything- I have nearly 26 years done and I learned something

              in the answers given-

              You have passed the first un offical test to being a good NCO-

              well done again
              Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
              Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
              The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
              The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
              The best lack all conviction, while the worst
              Are full of passionate intensity.

                The only stupid question is the one you don;t ask.

                the Tms can be a bit daunting at first but once you get the handle on the ligo you'll get through it.

                first lesson if you don't know ask.

                  "Fellow-soldiers of the Irish Republican Army, I have just received a communication from Commandant Pearse calling on us to surrender and you will agree with me that this is the hardest task we have been called upon to perform during this eventful week, but we came into this fight for Irish Independence in obedience to the commands of our higher officers and now in obedience to their wishes we must surrender. I know you would, like myself, prefer to be with our comrades who have already fallen in the fight - we, too, should rather die in this glorious struggle than submit to the enemy." Volunteer Captain Patrick Holahan to 58 of his men at North Brunswick Street, the last group of the Four Courts Garrison to surrender, Sunday 30 April 1916.
