Welcome back Dougal, sounds like you're having a great time.
What altitude are you jumping from?
I've "fallen out" of helis a few times, but only in civilian skydiving equipment..
 
Nah not jump, jump. But a quick unload drill into action from 7 or 8 feet.

Its been ages since ive been here.

Im finish training in four weeks now. I cant wait and Kosavo is looking likely in april.

Calling us drunks, comparing us to the English, and assuming the troubles are all about religion .... stereotypes and misconceptions abound. So nice to see that people are adamant in their ignorance.

Good doing, Dougal. Keep up the good work, lad.

I'm not Irish, but I'm sure not gonna call the Irish drunks, or any Irishman a drunk.

Thats really very stereotypical, imagine a drunken Irishman, has anyone ever heard of such a thing,... c'mon now lets get real here.

How the Irish got this bad rap about being a bunch of drunks is beyond me.

If you are Irish, I can see how this portrayal of your race as drunks can be offensive. In fact, alot of people find it highly offensive.

So if by any chance you find yourself being offended by such stereotypical attitudes, just sit down, pour yourself a glass of whiskey and have a drink, that should calm your nerves.

;)


Oh yeah... Dougal, good work, keep us updated.

Congrats
 
Its ended on a sad note. Early this morning a friend who completed training with me, his father was a sgt in the barracks I trained in, a friendly face on our lines at night took his life while on security in the barracks.
 
shit
deepest condolences to you, your friend, his family and all he passed his knowledge on to
 
Our friend has joined us, fair play to him.

Were currently stuck in Donegal north of Ireland on the border, beautiful county but crap weather. Trainning ont the 84mm A-T, Mag SF and the 60mm Mortar.
