It was the whole of the Forces that did this training, Reg/Res, Air/Land/Sea.

The Forces now are completely different than the Forces I joined in '89 (left in 97). On my tour we had a guy sent home. The reason in the ranks was because it came out that he was gay. He did his job, kept his #### wired tight. Was he gay, was it a rumour who knows, but we believed it.

I have friends that are still in, we joined together. In some ways the is a much better place because of the troubles in the early to mid 90's (the Somalia Incident was the most public, but there were tonnes more).

I can tell you that this would never have happened when I was in:
