    Cyberwar unit? (reserve)

    Hi All,

    A little less then a year ago I while I was still in the TA I was told by a Major that there was a unit being put together specifically for tasks and roles within 'Cyberwarfare'. I didn't really get much more information at the time, I was just told to hold out and wait to hear from him but I had to drop out the TA for a bit. As I'm looking to re-join and no longer have contact with this person I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about such a unit and how to go about contacting them. I've tried the various recruiting info lines and offices but nobody seems to know anything about it.

    Cheers

    You must be talking about Project TRON.

    It will be coming - Future Reserves 2020 mentions the word cyber as a specialisation for both the TA and RNR (light blue probably are claiming all ownership of it anyway...).

    So sometime in the next 7.5 years it'll be coming...

    Are you sure it was cyber and not 'cyborg'?

    Excerpt from The Four Slappers of the Apocalypse.

    And when I had opened the fourth beer, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

    And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and her that sat on him was the wife, and Hell followed with her......
