so if their selection isnt the same (as hard etc) and they arnt sf how come 21 and 23 exist then? a few blokes from my old unit went to them a few years back and they are never at home what with ops and training! just curious really, especially with all the reserve stuff (fr2020) going on at...

your not wrong - what about the reserves (TA or whatever they are called now) there are certain regiments that do loads and loads of cp training/work. it will take time but the rewards are there. I know cos a bloke in my local said!!! TA - the best of whats left:)

Hello all i am looking (to buy) for a remote antenna for the above phone. its an oldish model and wondered if anyone had an antenna sitting in a box somewhere. Its the 'car kit' antenna which you can still buy new but is very expensive and i only want the remote bit. cheers if anyone can help.

other countries dont have a drama with naming SF KIA. Unfortunately the 'mythology' of 'them' at 'H' and 'them' down poole and 'them' down pata is quite ridiculous. so much so you cant even utter there name or express a view without being called a walt or a wannabe! They are soldiers in the...

Just watched it again and got a completely different view of it - no warning shots until about 50 seconds in (there may have been before the clip though) it seems that there was ample opportunity to give plenty of warning shots before he (security bloke) actually gave an order to fire warning...

Very difficult one to judge, but the first skiff seemed quite intent on getting to the vessel regardless of being fired at. There does seem alot of splash around the skiff but there is no way you could tell if rounds were on/in the skiff. I think it is unfair to call them 'cowboys' without...

Does anyone actually know what the potential certificates/requirements/training will be for maritime operators? is anything required for working in iraq/afghan. Do companies run their own training? Is my view that if you cant find your way around an unfamiliar weapon system you probably...

For what its worth i think that a course like you have described would be quite an interesting course to do, and for sure you would learn something new, regardless of how much/little experience you already had. But its the same old, i dont think it would benefit one single operator trying to...

Hello all Does anyone know of a reputable training provider in the north - east that does the full sia cp qual. thanks in advance igot. -and conducts their courses in the north-east-

thanks - just still finding my way round this site

oh and i forgot to mention - can we have a clear line drawn in this debate between a ship security officer (as mentioned in a previous post) and the private security blokes (who are there solely for anti-piracy work) i think it can be misleading - not for the old sweats, but more for the new...

see bold - totally spot on, couldn't agree more. However this has to have a huge caveat in that there some damn fine HE CPO blokes who are not ex-mil etc,etc and have done alot of courses. This debate should not degenerate into an ex-mil vrs civvys thread as it gets tedious. Courses are...

I did write a long winded message but my computer crashed before i posted it. This is my take on it. There is no guidance regarding maritime security and there probably wont be untill bad things start happening to good blokes - and by that i mean - either a security bloke shoots a pirate...
