Well not MY course, obviously - although it wasn't without its physical challenges. Sailing not being one of those
Good effort, well done, etc. Good to hear qualified feedback.Having now done both in the space of twelve months I can confirm that in almost every way the first term of training at BRNC is a lot harder. And rightly so.
We tried, very very hard, about 18 months ago to make this happen. For reasons due to Army units moving back from Germany, it never happened.
The plans are on the shelf, ready to go.
Yep, heard the dit from the Cdr at BRNC at the time. His plan was to move Raleigh to BRNC with a new build behind the college, likewise Raleigh Cdr(T) had a similar plan to move BRNC to Raleigh.We tried, very very hard, about 18 months ago to make this happen.

One idea was to move 45 Cdo to Raleigh to make way for the Scottish regiments upon return from Germany and centralise 3 Cdo in the South West and move INT to BRNC. It basically became a pissing contest and the default setting became "do nothing" with BRNC comically frantic not to lose the college.
Rather sad really.
