    It's good to see the reserve are now passed that image of drinking clubs at weekends. You are a member of the British army and you should be trained to the same standard as a reg. Reservist just need to work harder then the regs because they have shorter training periods so you keep the standards of your regular units. Good to see good cam and con good Comms good section attacks using live good skills

      @@UKUK-rv4xn yep I joined the army in 84 and I am still in today I have worked with the TA as they where on PSI jobs my regiment were up there with standards but alot of TA units were shocking. Now there has been a massive shift up in standards and training with the reserves. Going in the right direction

      I remember the days of the TA coming to visit my unit in Germany for their 2 week camp. Nice blokes on a drinking trip. Definitely not soldiers back then. These guys are 100% more professional.

      Fair comment. Agree re drinking clubs image, although I'd add that ex-reg contingent contributed to that heartily and it's not as if regs live like monks. I always felt that phys training should be no1 for res as it's far easier to cover trade training in a beat up mobilisation package than it is to turn a fat-nacker into a racing snake. I note, of course that skills like marksmanship need good time on ranges, so I'm not saying it's all easy ...

      Do not all soldiers have a drinking and club image ? Squaddie type bars come to mind in Germany when I visited.

    2 Lanc's looks a good regiment not excessive unnecessary screaming and shouting so the soldiers can take on board and assimilate the information more quickly and probably develop faster. That's why 2 Royal Anglian was a good, no great regiment.
