...do the words "TROJAN" or "TITAN" mean anything to you? Probably not as u r clearly an ill-informed cretin.
They sure do, just I tend not to get too excited about things that have yet to be bought into active service, but then again i don't tend to get excited by anything with a dozer blade instead of a main armament.
I'm sorry you reduce me to this, I have the utmost respect for everyone in the Army and I fully understand that everyone works as a team to get the job done. I just find it difficult to take flak from a stuck up sapper who thinks it's fair game to say that all Armoured commanders do is follow each other around the battlefield, when in real terms all armoured engineers do is follow
us around or our close recce brethren, albeit very slowly and with lots of ticking and whinging...
Boggy_Loggy - cheers for the opening line of your reply, sets up the entire rest of your post to be read in a very pro RLC light. Well done you.
As to your points that you have raised I totally agree - i have a fairly good knowledge of the dangers you face as a log convoy because I am one of the callsigns that will be providing the intimate convoy escort for you boys out on TELIC 9, and no that's not in one of my so-called invincible CR2, it's in a Snatch.
I am not on this particular thread to start a "look at me i'm in a combat arm therefore I am ace" type discussion I was merely pointing out that we do different jobs and some may argue that there are varying degres of difficulty in our respective jobs. I
did not at any point mention the Engineers or the Logistical Corps, just seems a shame you felt so threatened that you had to jump up and start defending yourselves...
