Lots of posts regarding army accommodation models, I haven’t read lots I must admit but what I believe is the following (point 2 likely unpopular) 1. Standard of accommodation and maintenance needs to improve across the board no rank should have sub standard accommodation

3. The only caveat to the above is that an OR with a large family and that needs a larger house must be moved regardless of who is next door

We must remember that yes the army should fight as one and have fair and quality accommodation but this argument of officers vs OR’s is a nonsense, there 100% should be separation between. It doesn’t mean they’re valued any less

#LinkedIn is one of the most hideous sights I’ve ever seen! Some of the self centred posts I’ve seen on there are both laughable and sickening 😂

It never ceases to amaze me that Daniel Kawczynski MP the local MP for Shrewsbury is never EVER anywhere to be seen, he doesn’t engage with most demographics of the area in person or on social media what he does is a mystery, perhaps I should throw my hat in 🤔 where to start 🤔

Many didn’t understand what happened when I dropped off the face of the earth when I posted away from my battalion and was subsequently medically discharged, many made assumptions nobody asked!

But after 5 years of frustration and legal action it’s all over and not only was it a very positive outcome for me and my family I had an apology from the MOD and can hold my head high knowing that I never turned my back on anyone.

Words absolutely fail me for everything going on in this! This is why the infantry should carry out ALL basic military tactics training!

Really random but I need recommendations for a really good monitor/screen for gaming for my son, PS5 is his console of choice. Thanks 😊 @NoLeggedNinja1 @BritArmyesports

I’m not sure the Labour Party really understood today, making things up and asking unrelated questions, whilst feigning a passing interest in veterans affairs because it’s risen up the political agenda. Dull. I’m sorry you have to see this, but if they will keep doing it 👇

Did you fly on the MERT Chinooks in Afghanistan? We’re looking for the force protection blokes in particular: riflemen, signallers, EOD etc… as you’re proving hard to track down. MERT was a temporary collection of people from all 3 services but not under one regiment or squadron. As such a lot of the blokes who did the role went back to their parent unit after and never got the support they needed or deserved. We set up the MERT Club a couple of years ago to preserve the legacy and support the people who did the job. The MERT Club is open to any person who flew on MERT Chinooks in Afghanistan, including aircrew, medical team or force protection. We’re well funded and put on regular events/expeds/socials, but we are lacking the exposure for the force protection lads. From what we’ve seen so far, a common response is that they feel they “didn’t do much” or “didn’t do it many times” etc. The club does not see it that way and intends to make sure everyone who did the job has the chance to join. For those who are blocked by joining because of financial reasons (we have a small membership subscription to raise funds to support each other alongside our external donations) then just give us the nod and we can sort it out. A lot of our members pay double every year so they can cover someone else’s subs. This year we’ve already ran a Sailing exped, surf school, formal dinner at RAF Cosford and marched at the Cenotaph for Remembrance. We’re also running a charity dinner in the centre of Edinburgh at Christmas. Next year we’re going to try and do even more. Aside from this we have had had some success as a professional network getting people into good job opportunities and supporting members who need it directly. If we’ve convinced you to come join then email: info@mertclub.co.uk You can also find our facebook touch point here: facebook.com/groups/themertc… Or get in touch on our website mertclub.co.uk

Have I missed something? A vote on a ceasefire? I’m not sure it is our decision on wether a ceasefire happens or not?

On Armistice Day of all days, pro-Hamas thugs flaunt foreign flags and clamber on this memorial in London to those who gave everything for our country. This is a direct insult to them and to our national values.

Terrorist supporters wearing Hamas style headbands at the hate march in London. Good job they weren’t holding Union flags otherwise British liberals would be furious.

Breaking: Volunteers at Victoria Station in London selling poppies for a veterans charity on #RemembanceDay/Veterans Day are surrounded by pro-Palestine protesters. The charity volunteers are forced to move further and further away.

I’m in a co-work space in London and I’ve seen a total of 3 poppies including mine out of around 60-70 people are times changing? Are we seeing the start of losing this piece of our culture? Thoughts?
74% Times are changing
26% Must just be that office
