Nik_B 3,790 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Problem with this country is you don't get to acclimatise with the hot weather. If you head off to the dessert then you are in it all day every day and start to get used to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Got to agree with socks.... Ive worked with TA in afghan, cyprus and on training exercises all over.... They do seem to lack a certain something that 'most' regular serving guys have..... We get literally punished daily for fitness.....and educated on our environment......and how to deal with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gonetoearth 5,144 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 You can still have any full time service person apply who has as little if not less training education than a TA personal for all we know some of the six may have had service history prior to become TA , Let see the full facts full time squaddies have been known to train for years prior to selection and have still failed. I have known RAF officers that could pass the fitness elements but failed the weapons training element, did you know that Lewis Collins was a TA para he went down like a bag of spuds when he mouthed off one night at a real one . So was the BIG YIN 4 PARA GLASGOW Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody is joking about the lads that died or fell ill. Not sure what harm a few ex squaddies having a crack about their service is doing? It's sort of the British way I thought. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's sort of the British way I thought. time and a place......... Yeah and this is a fine time and place. Never had a crack about old work stories at a wake L1? I'm quite sure this is nothing like a wake and just a few chaps on the net discussing recent events, passing their respects and having a crack. Nobody victimised or made fun of to my reckoning. I know you have a close mate that gave his life in service but no way has anybody dissrespected any serviceman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
