No harm in believing your unit is the best.
Its not a one way st either, its common to hear that Irish serving in the BA are Irish army rejects, not up to getting in the defence forces, from many inc the media in the republic.
I personally do not understand how recruiting is done in the republic, a few yrs back my mate never got in but was accepted in the Royal Marines and served 5 yrs. I dont understand how high calibre people get rejected in some cases for people bordering on unfit and girls, I really dont get it.
