I note that when you click on the link for C Coy it says these are the only
training centres (as above) in Co Wicklow.

Has Bray been transferred over to Co Dublin???

[Hershey]

Bray (now HQ Coy) parades on Wednesday nights from 8 until 10. Recruits always welcome.

I pop onto the 62infantry.com website now and again to have a look.
One thing I noted - the old 20th/21st divide is still alive and well, from the
lanyards I've seen on view in the latest pictures from the Pot NCO passing
out. Any sign on a common lanyard for the battalion?
And can the CQ's get their fingers out and get those new Cpls kitted out in
decent No.1 uniforms?
The two tones on view must be embarrasing for those lads.

One last thing - out of curiosity.... what location is this parade being held in?

ah give him a break, I've figured out who this is, and he's only just joined, we'll get him there. Since then he's been on deployment, and is all set to start training up in 2AD. and when he's pretty good, we'll steal him back to the 3AD!

I was out of touch for a bit, and now it seems the burning sensation around my ears was not sunburn after all...

I have not been in contact with 2AD yet, but hopefully in the next couple of weeks, so I don't know who you were reffering to. I would be interested to find out who from 3 AD is now in 2AD, though.

If anyone from 2AD wants to PM me, and I can get the low down on the Unit, it would be nice. And anyone from 3AD now in dublin, give me a shout and we'll grab a pint.

Oh, and no, I haven't just joined. Been around for a while....

Slightly OT, I found some pics of 3AD marching at the St Patricks Day parade a few years ago. Where should I post them?

Look at the top right hand corner of the screen. You'll see a link
entitled "Gallery".
Click on this, and all the site photos have been lumped in there.
I think you need to register to get an account to post pictures, though.

Well I was since corrected, so its a new recruit of ours is now in dublin, plans to start training with 2ad soon, PM me and we'll sort something out.

We're fairly closely linked to B coy, train with them etc, only difference really is we recruit from the East Donegal(i.e. Lifford) and Inishowen area. Also train in Rockhill on Tuesdays at 20.00, contact Rockhill House if you're interested. Activities/exercises this year- similar to B coy. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Hi All,

One of my unit is currently studying in GMIT in Galway. He was hoping to attach to a unit based in Mellows Barracks, Renmore.

Any suggestions?

[petey]

I've done some stuff with Sp Coy 51Bn, but they only train at weekends. Might be better off training with 54 Engineers, I think they train on Thursdays. I'm pretty sure theres other units there as well.
