You know what really grinds my gears? The Gears Strike Back

As soon as post becomes vacant change the T&Cs and change the post description

Iā€™d have a monstrous whinge at HQAQ first, and then (outside of Nader) organise a go-slow in your wing with regards anything that goes through the WExO.

Yes, I knowā€¦

Getting really frustrated at how hard it is to get access to weapons to renew my WHT. Arms drill course in July which i have been on the waiting list for 3 years and now its near impossible to get access to weapons for a WHT

Email to the wing shooting officer they should be able to helpā€¦ you would think orā€¦ turn up at the next wing shoot and ask

Done already next planned is august

AUGUST!!!

Our wing has a monthly shoot

Our biggest issue is our weapons are kept 60 miles from most of the wing

Speak to your local ACF unit (primarily one in a RAC) im hearing they still have there L98s.

Local ones had it removed. Trying further a field at the moment!

I have a MOS who was supposed to be going on a coaching course, needed L144 Training which now canā€™t be facilitated :roll_eyes:

Just feels like an uphill battle. Fully understand the reasons why providing weapons training has gone from being really difficult to organise to now near impossible outside of the SATT teams but now we are starting to see the knock on effect

Is there a TA unit nearby you could go and visit?

Facebook banning Far Right organisations and not doing the same for Far Left, who IMO are as dangerous.

Out of curiosity which organisations would you have banned?

Anyone who spouts far left rhetoric.
Communist groups, Socialist Party groups, anything with the words Revolutionary or Worker for a start. I 'd even ban the Greens as they really havenā€™t thought it through.
The problem we have is that in the UK anything politically to the right is seen as nasty and anything to the left is seen as something nice and cuddly. Yet bizarrely we are invariably a right of centre country.
I just cannot see why they havenā€™t banned left wing groups for balance.
