Good old CCS hoop. Did they teach you anything useful - like how to use your gun in Basrah when some git might try and kill you or are they still on the ticking boxes routine that serves no purpose other than to justify the Regiment's existence.

I did some really special RAF Regiment training before I went to Basrah. Couldn't use a real Land Rover for the ambush drills because:

1. Some made-up waffle about health and safety
2. 'That's a bronze age dyke sir and we can't drive on it'

Useless bunch - couldn't even pick up the Army application form when they went to the tri-service recruiting office
