50 Years in Service the of world Peace (Sunday World Pull out)

[Duffman]

To my surprise when flicking through this mornings "Sunday World" I found a 16 page supplemental entitled "50 Years in the service of World Peace" a tribute to the Defence Forces!!

I have not yet finished reading it, but at a glance it seems to be a surprisingly (some what) accurate depiction! Covering everything from The Rangers to The Reserves.

Nice to see the Army indulging in some decent PR and actually informing the general public on what it is their taxpayers hard earned cash is being spent on.

Might be worth your while picking one up!

I saw on a newspaper during the week that there will be ceremonies in barracks around the country to commemorate the above, and former members of the DF who served with the UN are invited to attend.

Yeah on saturday! Pain in the ass!

Yeah on saturday! Pain in the ass!

For some reason, 14 Dec rings a bell in this regard. Which is this coming Wednesday...

[bulldemboots!]

Picked up a copy. Good to see some informative publicity for the general public, but will someone ever tell the press that there aren't really 12,500 in the Army Reserve. People are wondering where we all are...

[mutter nutter]

damn missed it... if anyone with no social life could scan it, I'd be much obliged :wink:

[Goldie fish]

Well there goes your chances of getting a scan.

I have it front of me it is an absolutly great deopiction of todays Modern,Vibrant And Ever Changing Defence Forces, Very Funnily enough it compares alot better to a similiar piece of PR stuff wrote about the British Army in ZOO/NUTS Magazine that i read bout 2min before i surprizingly found this 16 page treasure in the sunday world Congrats to them and the Army PR Section!!! It also displays some inside info bout future possible procurements i.e Navy Replacement ships, That the Pilatus PC-9M ''designed to prepares students pilots for flying jets'' Hmmm Jets Ahh, Also it show some great pictures of the recent of recent PSO Excerise (With Me In the Backround in one of them!!) and also the Javelion missile being fired in Ireland Recently so great stuff all round this im sure will be a great success story all round by all propective lucky viewers of the Pull Out..

[HavocIRL]

Very good bit of PR. Very impressed with it and impressing me with something that isn't shiny isn't easy.

[mutter nutter]

oh won't some generous person take pitty on us poor fool's who didn't buy the SW, and scan it..please

Thanks for that Dev. I knew my mind wasn't deceiving me. I'd seen an ad in the paper for UN commemoration on Dec 14, now I see it's the one in McKee Bks.
