Helpful,

It'd be the making of 'em.

Lots of Guardsmen too, as I recall (not personally of course).

Claude,

Cheers - I wasn't sure if it had been confirmed or not. It'd be nice to see 15 shed the Rarely Automatic Perpetually Inefficient Electronic Rubbish blemish on its glorious history mind, and possibly rerole as a proper sqn.

Green Flash,

Is that what they're called now.. FP Flt/Section? I suppose some type of rebranding was long overdue by now anyway.

Whatever happens, by the sounds of it, something needs to be done. Sandy tours seem to be followed up with a spot of leave and then pre deployment training and deployment again, and again.. and again. I find the army tag of Short Range Desert Group unusually (for them) highly amusing and refreshing in its originality, but casting that aside it seems that for the moment, the boys are working as advertised.
