Quote by Dave__Nottsjust hope they didnt ask ya for directions la
I hitched from Colchester to go to North Wales in my youth.
My first pick up was a couple who said they would drop me off on the M40 north. Sounded good to me. I was travelling along and they never said a word. So after a while I just fell asleep. I woke to the fellah shouting "WE ARE HERE, QUICK JUMP OUT". In a state of total confusion I just grabbed my kit and bolted out the door. The car sped off and I found myself on the hardshoulder of the M25. I must have snored loudly and they got fed up of it![]()

Quote by hickyi aint argueing owa it mara just an idea as i have seen funds wasted when the lads are crying out for gear ,or like i said 1 lad aint been in for x amout of months due to work now has been told to go back thru recruitment when he has done 6 tours
Northeastcoupleuk.......any of our bashes or activities now are run by company funds to keep some cohesion come april when the financial year begins and the bugets are replened.
My feelings are if the forces are to be kept in theatre then fund them and the support properly however carrying on with "whatever is at hand" and a can do attitude is what makes our army stand above most others.
Moving money from one hand to the other to fund afghan isnt what I or I assume anyone within the forces wants but a correct level appropriate to the tasked being asked of it/us.
I wouldnt want to deply as an MFC having done no Mor shoots for 18months(since I last shot(81mm), more by the next range)!
If we didnt have the economic situation that we have the regular army wouldnt have such good recruiting figures to replace the people either PVR'ing or unfortunatly injured.
Quote by hickyall training has now been cancelled ,last week a lad who has been on 6 tours ,and aint been in for 11 months due to working away was told he now has to go back thru the basic training what a waste of money for some one who has been there and done it ,there are meetings all over the ta centres this week for all the cut backs on training everything in lockdown but theres letters and texts(sent to all ta members phones now)asking for dates for deployment.

The question remains can we stop it? Funding is being withdrawn from the TA training, just to maintain our forces in this war. That is the same TA that will be sent to fight. Does the army have the funding to do the job? Should we be putting troops into African wars, just because 'it is going wrong'? Indeed, can we?
