welshwarrior Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Infantry is 10:30 and this would be a poor time for an infantry soldier, im 48 this year and can still get well under 10; 30, well done on joining the reserves, BB My wife's a nurse and still it's 10:30. No self respecting infantryman would come in over 10:30. Para reg are infantry and don't let them tell you otherwise. All they do is an air assault role if they were so good at it why did 1 Royal Welsh conduct the largest aviation assault since DDay? Enjoy the Reservers and make the most of some of the unique opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southeastpete Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) You army lot are slow, when I was in raf reg anything over 9.30 wasn't good enough! I looked at joining ta when I came out but armoured wasn't available... Now my work wouldn't support it. Hope you enjoy yourself, I absolutely loved soldiering Edited May 31, 2014 by southeastpete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 They have a brilliant media machine as do blue red blue, and end up with a lot of credit for county regiments that did the hard work but don't have the big resources for the national press.
