What I never quite grasped was the point behind the relatively recent introduction of pre-deployment training for the Falklands that involved tents, sleeping out, singing songs around the camp fire etc - I mean by that time I'd already done three tours and knew how to live in an ISO! (no namby-pamby MPA for Maple) So what was it all about and has it stopped yet? Now if it had been an intensive drinking course I'd have understood
And to all those that had to sit through my IRT brief on Afghanistan - sorry
