Are you from LedR?

[Esskil]

Yes, part of the Close Protection/FCP, Specializing as a radio operator and a Multichannel Transmission Systems Operator. Couldn't have a better job really! My Platoon usually operates with strf 9040, and soon the BvS 10 Viking as well.

Yes, part of the Close Protection/FCP, Specializing as a radio operator and a Multichannel Transmission Systems Operator. Couldn't have a better job really! These videos were from some parts of an exercise to balance and get everyone up to skill in very basic combat situations. Since there are very big differents in skill and experience right now. My Platoon usually operates with Stri 90 and strf 9040, and soon the BvS 10 Viking as well.

Yes And these videos are highly appriciated by many of the officers. And you are right, you Should be careful with what info you share. But this information is something you can already find on the net and the regiment display their abilities once a year for the public. But information regarding data, system information, dates, specifik unit names etc etc... That is information I would never share. But thank you for the heads up, you can never be too careful.
