มุมมอง 14K6 ปีที่แล้ว
#BBC #5Live visited us guys back in 2006. Seemingly I ended up drilling' Nicky Campbell!
Had a great time at Blandford in the 70's when it was 30 Signal Regiment and it has changed a lot
When Blandford used to half decent.
90 to 92 great times especially weekends in scabs
Really enjoyed my time at blandford, and hearing you voice everywhere cpl annetts! Good times and memories. Hope life is treating you well..
My Corps needs the best. We have to supply the best because Men on the ground need their back to be 360° and lifes deppend.
And In 2023 the camp hasn’t changed
Always wondered why, if you slash your peak its charge time, but permanent staff get away with it
Staff at Blandford.... Funny how they drop the attitude once they get posted to another working unit - At a regular working unit, they're just another full-screw who MIGHT be in charge of Daf keys. I remember one of these mutants turning up at 16 Sigs. He went on a 2's parade with his silly hat and got absolutely REKT by the RSM.
A few woodentops in there....
I was in 11 Signals in 1985, basic training. Guess everyone's retired years ago. Catterick , tbh a fab time where we gave the training team a few surprises on live maneuvers, ha I was in charge and wasn't going to put my platoon in an obvious ambush , so worked out the situation and approached from the best approach and overran the opponents (the trainers) all dead (pretend) and got to our designated target. I got a huge bollocking for doing this and not following the stupid obvious original route lolol. Fun times
Do I know you from when I was posted in Germany?? Name rings a bell!!
Jeepers, that's one big fat training corporal. If he is not careful he will be a training corpse. How on earth did he pass his pfts and battle fitness tests?
Sometimes in life these guys just tend to get on lol, but in truth I was in basic in 90-91 & bar any old timer I can’t remember anyone who appeared unfit although I’m sure they could surprise some People. He looks like one of these types that u never see at PT parades or BFT/CFTs etc. As I said there are some who just seem to exist. When were u in mate?
He will have been one of these mutants who have a laminated biff-chit. You know, the ones who go to every parade in trainers and stag-on back at camp when everyone else is grafting on excercise. Because he gets shit faced every night in the bar but plays rugby, he will be seen as a "character", hence the two stripes on his arm despite being a firm 15 minute mile and a half type of guy.
Really enjoyed this. I was in Blandford on Phase 2 around 2005. Pretty sure you were there too.
Sig Thompson did nothing wrong! #PrayForTommo
The American way works for Americans. When I joined the army in 1966 our society at large was much different than today. Young men aren’t as disciplined as my generation was and my generation wasn’t as disciplined as my fathers. We had no depression mindset like our parents and my children had no turmoil or strife like I experienced during Viet Nam. You must be torn down to be re-built into a warrior who will have the ability to kill on command and also know when not to kill. It is not an easy transformation for anyone. The important thing is to realize that even though the methods have changed we are blessed with young adults who are willing to do the work of protecting our freedom.
I like the British way, the instructor must to speak loud not yell, talk firm and clear, a big brother, a firm coach. The American way is bulling.
