Scuse ranks, "Jones"... says he's Commander, Field Army...
I hope someone puts in a complaint about him, how dare he not discuss weirdos wanting to wear make up.

...Brecon was sending out course joining instructions which indicated that troops should expect to operate with belt order of 35lbs minimum. Which rather tends to indicate that a lot of "the rest of the Army" wasn't training to that standard on a permanent basis...
Scuse ranks, "Jones"... says he's Commander, Field Army... replying to some third-rate hack from the Sun.
You could ask around, after all it is the R Sigs section of the recruitment area. One strange thing is the job titles change when you follow the links from the main page.
Another barrier to recruitment efficiency?The Royal Signals have recently re-branded. I believe, the main Army Website is still showing the old trade names. The Army Jobs site is showing the new roles which have 'sexy' titles such as Cyber as a prefix! Although I am not sure 'supply Chain Operative' will have them queuing around the block
I would also suggest that their new STRAP line of "The Vital Link" would be rather more apt if it was "The Missing Link"
That looks suspiciously like an article that was circulating around twitter a month or so ago, suggesting that the British Army were shortly to do something similar. That one was shut down fairly sharpish by the relevant Lt.Gen pointing out that he'd been at the meetings where this was supposed to have been discussed, and that it was bollocks.
Somewhere, probably in a troll farm in St. Petersburg, or someone's mum's basement in the Midwest, or even in the bowels of the Sun / Daily Mail, there's a sweaty bloke thinking:
"What can I invent, then push out onto the web, that will inspire hatred and fear, perhaps make grumpy and gullible old ex-squaddies bite through their own jaws in fury?"
Hook, line, and sinker... every. single. f***ing. time.
Edited to add - looks like the RNZN part is actually genuine...
This madness will go on & on, regressing the once fair & neutral armed forces who always gave people the chance to rise to the very top regardless of who you were.
This is a terror tactic that see's anyone who resists the drive towards compleat diversity in whatver shape it takes as a facist & must be eliminated.
What. with horrifying statements like "we don't care who you sleep with, or what's between your legs. We do care how well you do your job and whether you look out for your mates"?
Very good question, you can always do something extreme once in peacetime to prove you can but actually doing the same in a combat environment often looks a bit tactically stupid. Even if you can get the ammo to it, all those super fit blokes running up and down the hill with the shells in the kit, the gun is stuck out like a spare pr*ck at a wedding.True. But then, I've got a Gunner friend who responds to terribly warry 29 Cdo / 7 Para RHA pictures of a Light Gun halfway up a mountain, by asking "so... how are the trucks going to get its ammo to it? If not, what's the point?"
Unless, of course you were gay. Or female. But hey, you obviously don't think that they matter.

How about we agree to make military roles gender free the day after we combine male and female professional sport, making everyone have a level playing field.
It's already happening with men saying they are women, not quite what Women's Lib envisaged.How about we agree to make military roles gender free the day after we combine male and female professional sport, making everyone have a level playing field.
I suspect we'd be waiting a long time though.
