Some fairly harsh banter fellas
Having worked alongside the RAF Regt from my early days in Aldegrove, through TELIC and HERRICK I have the upmost respect for the Rocks.
3 Sqn providing security in NI around the airfield.
Excellent refresher training in NBC, Colpro and AR5 procedures in the run-up to Iraq.
Outstanding FP around airfields in Afghanistan - look at the drop in IDFs since they took over from other units.
Understaffed GDT sections who can still provide CCS,IRT,Air FP,Stn Guard Trng,WHT and deployment advice all year round.
Those people who slag them off have obviously no real understanding of the role they provide.
God bless the Rocks who have lost their lives doing exactly what they were asked to do - defend airfields.
Just give them back Rapier and CVRTs!
Rant off
