    time is running out - if you have PM'd me before about this then please get in touch again as the Royal Irish are willing to host a unit from the Irish DF for the duration.

    Keef, i've seen the Admin Instruction - you are the brew bitch

    do you have any particular preference?

    i recommend staying close to Brecon, i can give my friends in 14 Signal Regiment (Electronic Warfare) a call if you like, as they are located between Pembroke and Fishguard in Wales.

    No reason they can't, you're looking at nearly 7 months prep time for it. Plus, you still have FTT this summer don't you?

    Go for it.

    Yep.

    if anyone is considering applying, as has been said before, official sanction would be required through unit comds all the way to the top, PLUS you need to think about logistics and transport
    Me and DCOS Ops are bff's. If they can manage to move hundreds of troops halfway across the globe, along with weapons, Mowag's and everything else... I'm sure 11 troops going to Britain without weapons is achievable

    Wrong..There are plenty of silverware in Messes belonging to individuals and teams part taking in sporting/military events.

    It always struck me as being "cliquey", maybe it was just the messes I was in.

    And the civvys who fill it would pay no attention anyway.

    I'd love to have a crack at that! It would be something worth training for and I'd be confident that I could find 7 other individuals within the RDF capable of doing it too.
    In an ideal scenario, I'd like to find a team and dedicate training for next year's Cambrian Patrol whilst seeking the relevant permissions this year.

    Although, I'm finding with other things in the RDF that trying to achieve anything outside of your own unit is routinely met with resistance and the bureaucracy involved is probably more challenging than the patrol itself.

    I'm sure if an RDF unit completed the patrol, it would raise a few eyebrows as well.

    your CO shouldn't take too much convincing, it's a win win situation and an ideal opportunity to put your military skills to the test and there is no reason you can't walk out of there without some silverware for the Mess.
    Except it costs money and there are plenty of shredders between the CO and the Deputy Chief of Staff that has to give the ok.
