    Talking to a fella in BATUK, who's transferring out of his Battalion (1IG) to mine, as he says he'll never be RSM as the Battalion only has Irish or N Irish RSM's!!!

    The fella was a bit of a bloater and I wasn't convinced does any one know of any truth in this


    Thanks in advance

    It's BO---KS! It used to be true, but there have been several non-Irish born RSMs in recent years. I can name at least 3 if I have to, and it's more than that.

    He's probably a drag on the ration roll!!!

    Used to be the same in the Scots Guards as well. Doubt it is true nowadays.

    I was going to say, if you had to be Irish to be the RSM, then it's a good career path as must be 60% of IG are from Liverpool (or Birkenhead)

    They'd have to find themselves a Scotsman serving there, first. The Scots Guards I met in the Gulf War were mostly Cockneys and Geordies.
