chilly Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Who said the infantry aren't thick. I like the way they still keep jumpin in even though they know they will get stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Mac Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 That's what happens when the Army try Amphibious Ops!! For your info that was 42 Regt Royal Artillery's Amphibious Trials Team near Umm Quasr a few years back. And for anyone trying to make a come-back against the Royal Marines I'll just let that video do my talking for me. ... Just kidding Army guys - we all love you really!!

Lewis Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 ... Just kidding Army guys - we all love you really!! Since when? We always said they were the guys too thick to get into a proper branch of the armed forces......we were a bit harsh though ...probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always said they were the guys too thick to get into a proper branch of the armed forces......we were a bit harsh though ...probably In the current days of Jointery there are far easier targets than the Army... Step forward the RAF!! Now waiting for Chilly and Sheefa to wade in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now waiting for Chilly and Sheefa to wade in. Ahhhhh.....but the RAF were quite happy to be our taxi drivers for a while. The army just kept the bullets away from us.....yeah - I guess everyone has a use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Not ours are they. Don't recognise the boats. Hope they're not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Mac Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 For your info that was 42 Regt Royal Artillery's Amphibious Trials Team near Umm Quasr a few years back. I think only the Royal Artillery would try to land troops off a boat with such a high freeboard - Just try doing a covert landing when you've got to drop 3 feet into the water, or try to get back on-board when you're waist deep!!!

AndyT Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 42 commando out of Plymouth. S'right. Gutted to find out it was our guys though. Didn't get this on site with Ghurka's. The best. If you can, contribute a fiver to their pension fund please. Appreciated. Sorry if the rules were broken. Feel strongly about the way these guys were treated.
