I have never touched an SA80 in my life before, and have got one day's guard training on Saturday before the parade on Sunday. Oh what fun this will be! One day to learn rifle drill; can it be done? :lol:
rosinacarley said:Yup. How difficult can it be for goodness sake! GIs instruct it!
All the best, I am doing wreath laying this year, no guns for me!
mazza_magoo said:well dunkers, if it's your first one, it won't be your last. You'll feel so proud and also humble when you see the old boys looking on, they always look so pleased to see a naval guard, and the PU afterwards will definitely sell future guards to you.

PU?
Deckhead_Inspector said:The average RNR rating can pick up enough rifle drill to do the parade you are on in two Drill Nights, (Four Hours). Providing they are strong enough to handle the weapon.

I saw a rather portly TA Corporal in the army guard on Sunday and he was large enough (about 3 stone large enough!) that he could quite happily rest his rifle on his overflowing beer belly without using a single ounce of effort or straining his arms! :lol:
