Now I dont mind doing the adjustments when fitting packs, I never minded doing the odd repair on a dodgy pack now and then, but that MM took the p1sh, and therefore they were all cnuts, as you know I sometimes get down from the fence and politely put my point across. Anyway this thread is about someone posted to Fally. Its out in the sticks but that forces you to make some entertainment for yourself, ie, go to Hamburg (oh yes) visit Heide Park (google it) do Hannover get into Regt sports and basically as said earlier you need to make something of it rather than wait for something to happen. No matter where you are posted you need to get the max out of it and put the max in, as one day you will be a crusty old git (like The Iron) and just sit rambling like one of the old blokes on the muppets :P

I love you still Sir :D Yes as said enjoy Fally.....I think anyone getting a German posting now should class it as a sunshine posting.....over twelve happy years in Germany.

i went from highlanders to 2bn. heard opr is crap beyound any crapness. like stealthy said avoid the bronks, but what ever happens put your name on the housing list asap.

i've done a couple of attachments to 50 and its like any other job.....make yer own mind up when you get there! Fally is boring as hell, get into a sports team or find something to do else you'll just end up a (bigger) piss head.
Packs do get monotonous.....but the lads are sound there

Pnikies is still Out of Bounds though......grumble!!

Most of the bde are afgan bound april time but not sure about you guys.

Vogel park is also good for people with kids, and as already been said, if you're single, creep the reep at Hamburg or visit the Pinkhaus near Walsrode. ;)

The rest was a haze.

The good thing about being Packs platoon though is that you will always get blamed by FRG and FRTs when they get a dud pack. Enjoy Fally though as I wish I was back in Boxhead land.

Yep, I agree with all of that - I was there at that time too!

It's up to you to get off your arse & do something with your time off (if you get any!!) - so many places reachable from there.

Units are about the people in them & what you make of them at the time. I was depressed as F when I got my posting to 7 Armd Wksp (2 Bn.) but bloody enjoyed it all - want more!!!!

Did 6 years in Fally, 2001 - 2007. Me, Mrs B&T + kids loved it.
