ARmy Rumour SErvice

Iirc it eventually came to light that it wasn't a squaddie at all, but in true military fashion, we were all guilty in the eyes of the badge, gated etc, until the facts became clear.
No apology of...

You may have let that slip once or twice! What's your nearest international airport just as a matter of interest? We are actually going to be stateside in October but only for a week, touring New...

I agree. It's a little like road wheels on armour. The rubber rim inevitably was painted over as no one was particularly arrsed about it, so when I make armour I take the same view. The only thing...

So how did this years event go? More importantly, was everyone well behaved enough so JJH will be well disposed to hosting another next year? 0A (domestic) has given verbal permission for a leave app...

^ that is funny. Strangely enough, I too was put off by Crab Air's marked lack of enthusiasm, although I stuck with green, especially as they told me to come in for a aptitude test the Wednesday...

Going in June with a couple of mates. Will send sitrep on return if I can remember following the odd beer or two.

Webby
Am no expert by any means mate but maybe the combat stress guys could help. Am sure a quick google would point you to the nearest place. SSAFA may be a good starting point as well.
Good luck...

That's just fantastic. What a lady. The greatest generation indeed.

Just getting inspired to crack on with my production line reading all this, if I could get the time to do it! Two Spits on the go at the moment, and I indulged in the Airfix 1:48 EE Lightning with a...

Effing brill. What would we show today? Be a freaking embarrassment covered in H&S and hi viz vests!

Wish I could progress as fast. Taken me a week to paint the main parts of my 1:48 Seafire FRS46 and I am still not close to commencing assembly. Need to pull my finger out methinks.

Wasn't aware at the point of posting, and nearly went into the current affairs but the recce tale seemed waltish.

A rhetorical question on my part, am fully aware that the recce story is absolute bollox

Putting aside the tragic circumstances, and the fact that its a Daily Wail article, carrying a dead comrade back from the ROI.......

^ Won't happen bud. As soon as we got back from Granby we were getting fucked about by a tosser who hadn't deployed who had the brass neck to tell us that we knew f all about living in NBC kit just...

Plus, the comms would/should have been informed of the pursuit, so that all activity is logged in the event of just such an incident, and all comms are recorded on the ICCS (a system I provide a...

^^ Sounds like a winner.
Wish I could help, but I am ex Scaley, and the only lightweights I saw were two toned with sewn in creases :-)
Other than that, FFR sheds.

I took part in the final Allied Forces Day parade which was in June/July 1994. By then, the garrison was almost closed, and the Royal Signals contingent was provided by 7 Signal Regiment, hence my...

The shade/tone of brown doesn't quite look right for UK boxes - seems to be more 'mercan in colour imho.

There's a gathering at the NMA on the 23rd at 11am to remember Bob and Del. All welcome of course.

Fuck all. 25 years on and the place is still fooked, so what's the fricking point. At an individual level I am sure they do some good, don't get me wrong, but at the macro level they don't seem to be...

I was in FI then, watched the Chinook fly past then a short time later the column of smoke out in the camp. Sad day

Agreed. Slightly OT, but our local PCC is rumoured to do feck all unless there is a press photographer present - ex MP. They just can't help themselves

I can confirm that the AM in the picture is of the 'fixed grip (lack of)' variety, no 'realistic' hair either. Old Skool!

I beg forgiveness, but I would so do Miranda Hart.

And yes, the first pic is her.

Whilst on winter training as an apprentice, up in the Cairngorms, I had a maggot which had one of those magic zips which, as you zipped it up, just came undone again from the bottom - oh how I...
