Thanks for that Giovanni, some good points and good questions to put forward.

Hey MateCh, There is a huge difference between what the Permanent Defence Forces do and their training tempo when compared to the Reserves, the difference between them would be even more so that the difference between the British full-time forces and their TA. The RDF don't have access to...

That's a good point protectasia re: immediate income compared to the initial slog of a start up. I'll look into it further but I'm not sure what questions would need answering other than the usual such as is the company fully legally compliant, and what are the financials like. Thanks for the reply

Hello all, It has been a while since I've posted here, hope you're all keeping well. Now down to business, I personally know a couple of guys who post on here and I will try to touch base with them offline to see if they can offer any input but I also know this website harbours many an...

What song? I'm intrigued. Green poo? Vindaloo?

Fair enough Premier, I suppose it comes down to whatever works for you. To quote the crazy china man 'Be water my friend'

Cheers for the reply. I'll call them but was hoping someone on this site might have some direct experience and be able to offer advice but the site seems to be very quiet these days.

In regards to access to courses, do UK reservists have access to the same courses the regulars do? More specifically, from what I can see there are only two Reserve units based in NI, the RMP Reserve and Military Intelligence. Would these two units have access to courses that would be of a...

I'm sure Aikido would be useful versus average Joe on the street who hasn't a clue but I always try to compare various martial arts against each other based on functionality versus someone who does know what they're doing. In my opinion, and I am always open to correction when faced with...

Steven Seagal is a total fraud, I'd knock him out with a back hander. Aikido is about as effective in real fighting as Origami is so the fact you think practicing it gives you some kind of tough guy kudos proves that you are a clueless walter mitty. Most Polish guys are sound but you are a...

€30,000 equates to roughly £21,387 or £9.70ph for a 42 hour week sterling. 20 year background check for someone late 20's early 30's, so right back to primary school? flights and expenses 're-embursted'? No thanks!

That's fair enough, thanks for the reply.

Would you be planning on entering the market in the Republic of Ireland? I have experience in armed military escorts of CIT in aid to the civil power and would be interested in learning more about this if you are entering the Irish market. Regards, Tom.

Having read this article Exercise Cambrian Patrol 2014 - British Army Website I was wondering if any of the veterans on this site have done it, if so was it tough, fun, or a soft exercise. I noticed only 5 teams gained a gold medal this year (roughly 4% of the teams who participated) I'm...
