ARmy Rumour SErvice

quick amend - not wanting to start a rumour! LOL

Whilst feasible I don't think it will be published due to the changing numbers (deployed, med gradings etc). I worked out my field is pretty tight at a max if 10 once op exemptions are removed!

...

No just small, low denomination notes!

The great quote of "with his brown sauce" - utter genius only achievable with shite German-English translation!

A friend in Germany was offered a similar set up. He did not go with it has he had to export to the grid a specific volume of power over a 10 year period. Any deficit would be settled in cash at the...

Seems like we would have been the same era at 7.

Smurf got out last summer, he has stayed in Germany although I do not know where - shit info really but all I have.

I would agree in principle but the pragmatic side of me says it will not happen. Therefore the only realistic situation will be that the decision is Scotland’s to take.
But once the decision is...

And that is the true important issue.

Independence or not: Scottish only decision.
Devo Max: dependant on what additional powers are to be transferred north of the border, could/should be a...

That is the quintessential example of irony!

I love the way you are encouraging others to have a rosy outlook on everything - although telling everyone to 'be positive' may annoy the more volatile! If someone told me to be positive I would...

Please not R SIGNALS, please not R SIGNALS! Why do these nutters do it?

...and no one noticed they were gone! Nor that had come back.

Date check?

But kind of believable in a hideous sort of way...

You applied about the same time as me. I looked in RHQ today and the only one in was from an application sent in Sep. So it will be end of Feb/early Mar for Oct applications. But you have to also...

To be honest I could not really care either way, indenpence or not. What would wrong, would be any tax payer other than the Scottish to pay for independence. What the issues with the Euro have...

johnboyz...
How can you? You want political independence, but are therefore willing to accept budget and taxation limitations from another county!
I assume that the changes going through at the...

Wordsmith - you have a better handle on this stuff, esp the Euro and how that is suffering. Can you spread any light on where this COULD go? As the Euro has shown fiscal union does not work without...

Yes but it is only usable as it is really sterling – backed by the Bank of England.
Once that link is broken, its value and acceptability internationally reduces.

What I cannot understand and no one appears to want to answer is what currency would an independent Scotland use? As the Euro trouble has shown you cannot have a single currency without the same...

But to answer the question, there is no method (that I know of) to deal with the effective pay drop due to increase in charges and stand still pay. But I stand by to be corrected on this element if...

Officer Commissioned from the Ranks. You should go onto LE rates of pay as a Capt (assuming you commissioned as a Capt on a IRL). Where you drop into the pay scale is dependent on rank you...

Expensive but quite simply brilliant...Páramo waterproof jackets, trousers and outdoor clothing

We must have the same clerk which is obviously not the same one who sorted out Forever...

Altberg have confirmed (email in today) that they will be making up some of their military spec boots in an 'olive' colour. They are not sure which models they will be doing but I am sure commercial...

It is just a name change. When I last spoke with JSMTC prior to summer leave over confusion on course/award names it was all explained that it is just that - name changes. Not seen an updated 419...

I saw that and thought it was the course that took pers with basic quals and developed them to be instr in a couple of disicplines. I will try to dig the answer out tomorrow and post details then.

Personnaly I really enjoyed the programme, however got sight of this info on it...Vital Everest research ignored

The rand that runs around the base of the boot where it connects to the sole unit is black (or appears to be) in the pictures on RVOps website whilst on your pictures it looks brown. Like I said on...

The Lowas on the RVOps website look as if they have a black rand - accept that this might just be shite resolution on my screen. The ones RGJ has posted def have a brown rand. What are your...

I have an ventile jacket (made by Snowsled) which is about 20 years old now. I have only ever used pure soap flakes (Granny's Soap Flakes) and chucked it in the washing machine 30 degree wash. ...

We had direction form Corps RSM - down and out!

But and it is a big eff off BIG but, they are applying Army Dress Committee so we can wear nametapes! WTF!

The problem is that all the info is pre-SDSR. For R SIGNALS specific info you need to read HQ SOinC R SIGNALS FD Agenda. Details the moves incl time windows for moves and locs/units and who is in...

Outstanding - the link is so out of date that it is comical. It still refers to the works to allow the further rebasing within Germany. Well quite clearly that is out of the window.
If you look at...

No more square armoured Bdes - now it is five MRB plus 3 and 16.

Could not disagree more! But I suppose it comes down to what you see the Corps role as. As far as I can see we should have no remit for in barracks Real Life Support. Get the geographical seperation...

No it is goodbye to the linkage between Sig Regt and Div HQ - about time to!

But it is not just 5 MRBs. It is 5 + 1 (16x) + 1 (3x). If the two other Bdes pick up the contingency task as it kicks off, it would allow the MRBs to take over as it becomes enduring. Or at least...

At least with 7 and 16 in Elmpt each RSM had a year out of their two in post to be Presiding Member. Stafford will be a laugh a minute with the competition to see who can piss up the wall higher than...

Such a shame we took the painful route and continued to provide in barracks support to 1* and 2* HQs for a few more years. The original plan went straight there!

The sooner we get some geographic...

How come they don't mention the fat smug c*nt bursting out of his/her coveralls that serves the shite food on flights!
