It's a bit blurry, they keep getting in the way and I'm having difficulty seeing what it is..

I was in said country a few years ago. The first check point we came to was manned by 'Zohans'. The 2nd one was manned by the ladies (or their friends) in the video. Not one guy in sight. If Carlesberg did checkpoints.

maybe a different pattern is needed. I'd work as a consultant for free to help get it right.

Not sure what type it is but, like most weapons, it will need to be well lubricated in order to guarantee the smooth delivery of a full load.

Culturally devastating if used against some of their neighbours, I imagine.

Don't know why but it reminded me of a line in the book "Battle Cry" after a squaddie called his weapon a gun.

For that the marine instructor had him running round the parade square shouting "This my rifle, this is my gun, this is for fighting, this is for fun"

The thong is they do take care of their fellow men from the rear and missionary positions

Never know they may end up as aircrew flying everything from the Python to the Snake to the Yanshuf

Can't knock their esprit de corps and professionalism and when to have fun

Does anyone remember RIAT 97 when their Herk turned up and their fit AF girl in the rather acceptable-to-them-length-of-uniform-skirt-but-not-acceptable-to-our-standards and heels was with their tent area, giving out leaflets and stuff. Think she was an NCO ?

Cheers

Weapon was a bit fuzzy, but the unit looks to be the rear guard.
