Well what can you expect, some of those photos show the true state of the equipment - That officer didn't even have a stick! Hows he supposed to face a machine gun without a stick?

Had to double take at the guy with the handset and map, it's a mate from 29, just posted it on his facebook page, he's home in a couple of days, I'm sure he'll appreciate an ally phot with his RA protractor on show.

2 PWRR are the Theatre Reserve Battalion and have had troops deployed in Afg since May 08. With another 8 months to run on the task, most if not all the soldiers will be looking at 2nd or 3rd stints in Afg. Not a six month tour but 2 or 3 cycles of 3-4 month stints in a 14 month period. Ask their young riflemen if they'd prefer six months then return to the UK rather than Cyprus and you'll be surprised at the answer. Ayia Nappa still out of bounds too!
