My oc chose me without asking, called me in & said I would promote faster playing the bugle. I know he was called by the CO to find someone from his company to transfer to band as they were short of bugalars. I feel like I dont want to go & kinda worried Ill get stuck in the band without being able to get out again.
I want to hear what you think, please. ]]> Infantry rollafo http://www.arrse.co.uk/infantry/200144-transfered-inf-band-good-bad.html http://www.arrse.co.uk/infantry/199905-deployments.html Fri, 07 Jun 2013 12:53:33 GMT Looking at joining the grenadier guards, wondered with the decrease in the force out in afghan, would there be another deployment out there for the... Looking at joining the grenadier guards, wondered with the decrease in the force out in afghan, would there be another deployment out there for the guards? I know they just came back, just trying to put family at ease.

But what's involved ?

The RIFLES will march into the Market Place at 1130 (using that silly Light Div quick march no doubt) followed by an inspection by the Mayor and presentation of a freedom scroll. The veterans (using the far more sensible heavy drill) and RIFLES will then march to the War Memorial in Long Street at noon. The Mayor will take the salute and the parade will finish on the Green.

I'm dusting off my blazer and DERR tie and dragging the family along to swell the crowd and support the soldiers of Wiltshire's county Regiment. Hope to see some of you there. ]]> Infantry napier http://www.arrse.co.uk/infantry/199636-1-rifles-freedom-parade-devizes-2-jun.html http://www.arrse.co.uk/infantry/199606-royal-gibraltar-regiment.html Sat, 01 Jun 2013 11:55:14 GMT Does anyone have any info on the Royal Gibraltar regiment? It is proving really difficult to find any at all.
I'm looking for information on what they're like.
Is the regiment particularly bullshit orientated or relaxed?
Is it a good life over there in Gib?
Would I do the same infantry training over at ITC Catterick and jump on a plane over to Gib?
Also what are the chances of deployment?
I'm really considering changing them to my second choice as where I would be posted is a big deal for me and the nicer posting the better considering I'll be stuck there for a large chunk of my life.

Can't get a straight answer from the tourist websites,

Does the Major Generals Review this Saturday include the full parade down the Mall before and after the Troop?

I'm taking Daughter No1 (6 yrs) to London this weekend for the first time and was thinking of taking her to see Buck House and the Parade as well as the usual touristy stuff. (Her Great Uncle was 1st and 3rd Bn's IG from 1939-47 and shes just starting to take an interest in such stuff- I know 1WG are Trooping this year but does anyone know if the Micks are taking part?).

Many thanks

Am I correct that Colchester is the current Parachute Regiment base for the second and third battalions?

Is the Leeds base not primarily used? If you're from the north of England will Colchester be your base? (providing you're attached to the second or third battalion)
