    He's done well for himself, 20 years and has made RSM. I've seen Full Sergeants and WO 2s in the Battalion I was in (2CG) back in the 70s with more service, so good on him.

      No, that just means it's a properly cut snug fit tunic that forces you to stand straight.

    Just curious to know why they are reffered to as 'Irish' guards when the work for the british crown, and more than likely refer to themselves as British. Its mad to see British soldiers who wouldn't call themselves Irish, fight for a regiment that portrays itself to be Irish, when they are British

      @@Krispysquare and are they proud to be Irish? Do they stand with the Irish who were culturally trapped within their own land by British forces? Do they fly an Irish flag? The Irish army, who are enrolled across the island of Ireland, but train in the Irish Republic is filled with men and women proud to fight for their country, but we all know how throughout history, the Irish were hated by the British, so this is why I'm curious to know why the British army are calling a regiment Irish when they are British, I think history has pointed out enough now to show how manipulative and destructive your British army was.. Shame
