I've just heard from another lad who's starting phase 1 the same date as me that the MOD's planning to amalgamate the Queen's Div. regiments into a new, huge regiment like the rifles.

I was wondering how true this is and if anyone has any more information?

Totally untrue.

They're just going to scap them. Now say out loud infront of the mirror 100 times, 'You want fries with that?'

If this was the case I doubt Recruit Snotgrass would be the first to hear about it!

And they're gonna call it the "Queen's Royal Reigment"? Is that to encourage recruitment among the dyslectics?

As said above i doubt a new basic recruit would find out before any personel in any of them said regiments. Also the Royal Anglians were only amalgamated in the 60's so doubt they will be again any time soon.

Your logic doesn't stack up. RGBW amalgamated twice in about 12 years.

I could tell you,however Operational Security prevents me from doing so.

So were the Devon and Dorsets, Light Infantry and the Royal Green Jackets. This failed to stop them ending up as The Rifles
