In English, please.
For my last "unit", bounty meant:
- Range test
- CFT (25 km in the Brecons inc Bergen, gat, belt kit etc)
- Swimming test (40 lengths in overalls)
- an annual camp, or equivalent
- and some other bits and bobs that I've missed off that don't need beadwindowing here.
ISTR that apart from the annual camp that we did most of them in Q4 and Q1 of the calendar year, so most lads with no MTDs (like that TLA dropped in there?) from October to March 30th are right royally screwed.
But I was in a special lot, and I don't mean special needs, either
Edit:
I gather that my old lot, and the Int Corps (AKA green slime) have been exempted the budget freeze. Which is great, but still a scr*wing for the TA paras, infanteers, gunners, signallers etc., all of whom earn much respect for giving up their 9-5 jobs and slotting in to a regular unit to go to the sandy/dusty/rocky places.
