Hi

just trying to find a way of contacting any old mates (spec ops) that i had the pleasure of working with over the years... was in from 1990-2000, from training to last post was

11 Sigs Cattrick garrison
Garats hay Barracks, Loughborough
9th Sig Regt,
225 sig sqn, (E/D Troop)
Kosovo
RAF Digby

if anyone was/is a spec op during those years and at the above places, drop me a line

Crox225

Oops! I was of the 'Old School' when Spec Ops were trained at 222 Sig Sqd Garrats Hey, near Quorn in the days of old (Spring 1964) when the training huts were heated by pot bellied coke stoves.... and Sgt Bowles was the Provo Sergeant, and Jock Costello was on the RP Staff...

Any old Spec Ops remember those days? Though I didn't pass out as a Spec Op, the old Morse thingie.... but went on to become a Comcen Op/Data Telegraphist. I did spend 3 years at 223 Sig Sqn (Radio) at Bushfield camp, Winchester and work at Flowerdown radio site. All a long time ago now..... boo hooo! :P :D

1989-1991

224 Sig Sqn, Garats Hay. Later HQ Comms & Sy Gp and now the Defence Sixth Form College (DSFC) or Welbeck although you'd be very hard pushed to recognise the place now. Gone all modern, it has, and not a portakabin in sight. Lots of pretty flags flying,k though.

I'm sure Spec Ops have their own association or something?

Found that. http://sprocket.lut.ac.uk/~spec-ops/

Edit. Ha just found a photo of our kid on it.
