FOD, brilliant!!

So the sub could have fired more but chose not to, bit beneath them probably, not proper work for the RN.

And what you are saying is that RAF and Army harmony are pretty much the same (1 in 5), also bearing in mind that there aren't many 4 month tours left, most are 6.

The RN delightedly pointing to their harmony guidelines and how tough they get it is equally as good. I naturally assumed that you join the RN to go to sea? Complaining that you do it too much is a bit like the RAF complaining that they are being asked to fly too often.

Also should add (from a post further up) that suggesting that arty can cover the ground attack role was clearly written by someone with no experience of either or a member of the RA! Spraying high explosive around a large area of countryside isn't really what it is about at the moment (and yes I have seen it many times in Afg and yes there is a time and place for arty but it is no way a substitute for Air).
