Be able to join the Brits in a bulk purchase, thus saving money, I guess?

And that is exactly what the media would be saying



Agreed

Yup - that was us in our parallel role as the West Wicklow Militia

My point was issuing everyone (Reservist wise) a set of combats would surely have been a cheaper option than a set of SD NO 1. Remember doing full TOETs for ranges wearing it. Remember another night...

V-neck one a good idea. When I joined the FCA first, and only SD NO 1 was issued (would love to know who the idiot was who thought that was a good idea, £££ wise), a Sgt in the unit had his old light...

Only one size FF cap badge nowadays for NS O/SEA, A/SEA, LS ranks in the NS - the larger one usually seen on Army berets
The smaller one has been discontinued

I have done, for the last couple of years

Did you have said Snr NCO Cse done? If so, you have grounds for redress that the other individual (without the course done) got the bump up ahead of you, especially if you were an applicant for the...

Jaysus.... :eek:

Said to Mr Protac last week that further PO Courses were on the radar. Didn't believe me then....
