Those daysacks! Put any decent weight into them and they cut your shoulders to bits. They were awful. But I don't think anyone who has served could say that they don't miss this shit. Good old days lads.
Fun Fact: This wasn't an actual BAOR training video, but a mockumentary lampooning British officers. It was based on a script by John Cleese, but after two years in development hell and multiple rewrites, it lost some of its humor and subtlety. It was considered a flop, as audiences simply couldn't be fooled into thinking that this was what World War III would look like on the Central Front.
Why was a Cpl leading a Recce Ptl for a Bn FUP? Where were the Officers? Mind you, the Cpl seemed to be highly experienced and knew what he was about. Running into an enemy minefield would freak me out!
A colonel giving a set of orders to Corporals, shouldn't Platoon Commanders got their orders from him and they in turn would have gave a set to their Section Commanders.
Now that's a proper colour DPM.
