guys 'n' gals

Do what you'r good at... in some cases thats breaking airplanes and others its fixing the broken airplanes....

leave the war fighting bit to the squaddies... thats what we do... but that is not to say you shouldnt be able to pick a weapon up and be able to use it to the detriment of those in front of it, rather than those stood next to you or come to that sat in the cookhouse!!!! Every one in the services should be able to carry out effective local defence.

As already mentioned 30 rounds a year is no good to man nor beast and only has a training value to the arms storeman demanding the stuff!!! 3000 rnds maybe

And as for Guard Duty!!! dont make me laugh.... some are very good, but others? well ok........ dont give up the day job though and what with the current availability states wouldnt it be better to use the Rocks on the gates and the Techs in the hangers?

Talkin about the gate... the next 'cover' that tracks me in with his finger ON the trigger.....
