Hello (again), just after some general info on Camp Souter as I believe it is a predominately Sigs joint. I will be spending 6 or 7 months there very soon.

Also what's the winter temperatures like in Kabul? I dont think I'm going to take much lightweight dress,if any.

Thanks.

Camp shared with a Coy of Inf when I was there. Added bonus of the RS trying to out do the Inf.

winter - cold, take a Softie

RS? Bogging Royals maybe....

I arrived during a winter tour and it wasn't bad, as stinker says, a Softie should suffice.

Predominantly R/Sigs. I'd take number 2's as well cause some soft cunt of an SSM will sure as shit want a full on fucking Monday morning parade in 2's at least once a month.

And be prepared as previously stated for the Royal Corp to try and out inf the inf.

"Soldier first tradesman second, Sig Mack. Yes sir, of course sir! Is that because all our kit is shite sir and when it comes to it wont fucking work so we'll just become glorified gate guards. sir? I don't fucking like your attitude Sig Mack.. thats all right I'm not fucking hanging around her much longer as I'm so fucked up my feet don't even point in the same direction anymore so the Army's sending me back to civvy street. Your still going on CO's orders, right you are sir, I'll hobble up the fucking stairs with my leg in plaster and on my crutches and make you look a cunt in front of the CO, sir" conversation between me (gobby fucking cunt that I was) and SSM 1 sqn 30Sigs 1988.

I'm still a gobby cunt and He's still a fucking Arrse probably finished now though, last seen as an LE Maj at 30 sigs Nuneaton. 2005 ish.

I was in Kabul last winter, which locals say was the worst for 30 years and it was bloody freezing -23C one night.

I spent a brief stint in Kabul January/February a few years ago.

I'd like to be jack and tell you to pack shorts and flip flops but a brief visit to the med centre saw me sat waiting with a lad who had a frost bitten foreskin.

Take every item of cold weather kit you own, especially if like us you're going to be working outdoors at night.

I was there the winter before, which ironically was the mildest for 30 years (apparently).

Biscuits, unfortunatly still very much happening. Show parades and room inspections on this tour.

Fcuking lunatics with no job makes lads lives on tour a nightmare.
