Oh right, so you did the arctic leaders course with the marines or with the paras just alongside the marines. How did it work?

Paras have been known to be attached to RM in Norway on several occasions, in platoon strength or less. That includes attached arms etc.

With a "pinch of salt", you know what I was getting at (in a pendant way)

It is almost 50/50 split, the other side being Commando Units; 30,40,42 and 45


Seriously though the NSSC is now called the artic-warfare juniors course?

I really fancy the scots, but i get the picture that everyone assumes everyone in the infantry is thick and useless, is there any re-assurance that there's some brighter sparks in there too? Infantry has always been my dream, but everyones saying go Intel. Corps, what should i do?

I'm the same I'm not thick and I want to join the infantry. Most the lads I've met at the recruiting office who are going infantry aren't thick either, sure there are a few useless cunts but most of them are top lads.

None in the list youve made are part of 3 cdo brigade.

Commando logs is manned by about 100 RM with the rest being made up of all arms personnel.
