Signallers

Signalers are Soldiers who failed to become Infantry men,
there is nothing wrong with failiure as it keeps the Infantry pure.
People dont join Armies to be clerks, signallers, show jumpers- Dr Johnson never wrote that all men
think badly of themselves because they werent a Stores Cpl handing out linen.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.

Originally posted by SwiftandSureAhh, the bitter resentment of an infantryman towards God's Trade of Signals.
Don't worry Hedgie, we only spent that extra Tech Pay on the foxy looking women that are out of the grasp of the infantry due to the latter's ugly looks, inferiority complexes and general pong.
But the Scaley always remains magnanimous and will usually let the Infantry have a go on their womenfolk once they're done with them as the infantry are most at home charging into a previously occupied fox hole."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!"

Regimental Singnallers carry heavy man packs when out on the ground,
the only heavy thing that Signallers carry is the heavy burden of guilt and dispointment
and a massive chip on their shoulders for not succeding as an Infantry man.
But lets get back on topic - this female is a credit to any Military organisationThings fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Originally posted by dahamster View PostWe were doing that for years in unifil rgj.
we have always had 'signallers' in the battalions and they were more than capable of conducting BattleGroup Comms in the analogue conventional age.
however now we have dedicated Royal Signals soldiers embedded in the battalions to improve comms capabilities :
The introduction of Royal Signals Infantry Support Teams, which are being rolled out to all 37 infantry battalions over the next year, will enable battalions to conduct a greater level of signal training, such as the Tac Signaller Course that soldiers from 1st Battalion The Rifles recently took part in.
Riflemen from the RIFLES and Signallers from the ROYAL SIGNALS training on some of the comms equipment.
Each signaller is also trained as a team medic, allowing them to provide medical teams with more details on the condition of casualties:
"One of the areas it will definitely improve is extraction of casualties," said Sgt Nicholl. "As well as sending a nine-liner [call for medical evacuation], patrols can now communicate direct to helicopters at a much earlier stage of the extraction."
"The speed of getting casualties off the battlefield is bound to increase."
Having better trained radio operators also frees up section commanders to concentrate more on winning the firefight and less on radio traffic, Sgt Nicholl said.

these Royal Signals soldiers don't just work with the battalion on operations - they are posted to the battalion and live, work, socialise and interact with the infantry on a daily basis - forming part of 'the unit'.Last edited by RoyalGreenJacket; 12 February 2011, 11:44.
