Are the TA and Reservists ready to replace the regular Army in 2020?

Firstly the image you use the helmet appears to be on sideways but it does not mean he put it on sideways, it may have moved whilst he was running or it could have been knocked, they don't exactly fit snug do they?

I was part of the TA for a while and whilst I would never envisage them taking the place of the full time army, for a bunch of civi's who train less than a 10th of what the regulars do I was pretty impressed with the training and skill of the others who trained with me.

lets not all go mad and tar with the same brush shall we?

What? They don't fit snug? Take your limp wristed civvy knot tying skills and feck off! He's blatantly put the cover on sideways, if it has moved his admin is up his ass and he needs a slap! In either case not fit for task! I'm not for one second saying all regulars are geniuses, but they are full time soldiers, I've seen stabs struggle with MATTS FFS how stupid do you have to be! On Op Olympic this summer not one of the forty or so stabs attached to us could pass a PFA, that's basics, if you can't do that as a Reg' you get 3 months to pass one if you cant it's a Medical Discharge due to being unfit for Military Service. They can't TAB and the discipline is shocking, we had one numpty that thought he could eat a flapjack whilst on parade?

Calm down dear, it's only a chat thread.

Not all members of the TA are unfit. I happen to be amazed by a very dedicated TA member I have the pleasure of knowing who regularly does massive runs and competes in triathlons.

In just the same way you freely admit that not all regulars are geniuses, you should accept that not all TA are unfit for the job.

I think I've wound Ace up tonight with too much banter. This out pour onto the Idle Banter board is regrettable.

I'll see to it that he's disciplined.

I know what your getting at! however he is on about the helmet cover! not the helmet, to wear the helmet sideways you would need a particularly funny shaped head lol

as stated by many people in this thread I have worked with plenty of motuh breathers both Regular and TA

Woha cowboy hold your horses, your clearly living up to your Mr Men name.

I did not click you meant the helmet cover being on wrong, so yeah numpty.

I think this is clearly a soap box issue for you, and a chill pill might be in order.

ps, my wrist is not limp and my knot tying skills are tanfastic :-p
