I thought it was going to be for removing hinges and putting down rabid dogs - but one of our guys (mobilised TA) who got back on R&R and came to see us a little while ago said they are for pointmen in close country - just to reiterate what a previous poster said.
TBH who could say they'd want a load of buckshot or a great big fvck-off slug coming their way!
anyone else see the MH6 circling over a British naval town yesterday?
British, Canadian and Danish TACP's on exercise in Czech republic.
The course was said too be very hard and realistic. It put the FAC's through a typical ambush situation, like it happens on a daily basis in Helmand. Lots of shooting, shouting, foreign pilots etc..
