bob300w Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 " guys i put my ghillie suit up for sale but if anyone wants to swap for a meadium set of realtree let me know" As he has just put this ad in the sales section, it begs the question "Why do you need realtree cammo in Afgfhanistan"?

PaulABF Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) " guys i put my ghillie suit up for sale but if anyone wants to swap for a meadium set of realtree let me know" The shop bought ghillie. Why buy, when as a sniper you'd make your own? After all he would have access to all the materiels needed. Something is not ringing quite true. By the way Yorks lad I did 16 years in the same barracks where you supposedly are now. Edited May 5, 2008 by PaulABF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I returned from Herric 4 I got a medal - 2 in fact. The OSM and ISAF medals. What's this flash you're on about? Surely if you'd already done a tour of Iraq you'd be more aware of what you receive for doing ops? By the way what barracks are you in in Aldershot? According to you you are Coldstreams (when you flogged your TELIC 1 medal). When is the battalion deploying to Afghan then? :( ZB my firts tour was with the irish guards in telikc 1 the reason i will only get a flash is i got the herrick 6 medal and you will know you dont get the same medals twice!!!! as am based in victoia barracks windsor at the mo but i bought a house when based a lille barracks in aldershot and i am selling a shop bough ghilly suit as i have about 5 -7 different ghilly suit's any more doubts just pop em up lads you will be asking me to torn up at you door next,,,,, yes i was gonna sell all my gear but i have figerd WHY seven months aint all that so why not just get rid of the bits i donbt need and get stuff i do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
