The 21st aren't the only ones to say "Iompaíg Thart". Aren't there supposed to be amendments published, distributed and stuck into the manuals? e.g. the Screed is an amendment right? It's not in the footdrill manual. The fact that we don't now turn to the right when falling out is an amendment.
Isn't it about time a new manual was published. How hard could or expensive could it be?

"Let us be clear about three facts. 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.
We were told to stick to the manual..... Of course they never thought I'd get my hands on the manual....
Ammmm Llorrac, It was your superiors who gave you the manual, along with many other manuals.

So I presented my findings to my superiors who then dragged their feet for a couple of months and now are finally realising that 'ag iompo' along with other commands do not exist.
Actually, your superiors sought clarification from their superiors- its called the chain of command, you should have told about it during your recruit training.....

Which means we should see it in about 20/30 years time. I won't hold my breath.
