Did you know that @16RegtRA use weapons, rather than flags or pennants as their regimental colours?

In a formal ceremony today they said goodbye to the Rapier Missile System which was replaced by the new Sky Sabre. @rhqra

Royal Signals officer with a relevant degree & decent track record has got to be worth a vote? She’s even near top of the list so you don’t have to scroll too far to vote. I opted out of all the data scraping stuff. https://t.co/jVoGP2Egs1

A great day for WO1 (RSM) Tobi Horn selected for commission into the Royal Artillery @rhqra. A great leader and soldier who is always working to better the soldiers of #team16. Great recognition and reward 👏👏👏. @7AirDefence

This picture, of all those I have seen of Op Pitting, really hightlights the chaos, desperation and struggle to me. The UK and allies did well in the circumstances they were plunged in.

The 16RA Best Detachment competition ended with a March & Shoot event, the soldiers battled through a tough stretcher race followed by a live range scenario. All detachments were pushed to their limits throughout this challenging exercise and are in high spirits! #WellDone

[Battery Sergeant Major @RA_SNCO]

Today, the weather was kind. The troops are still in high spirits and have completed the Assault Course, Section Attacks, Judgmental Trainer and many more! Testing them both mentally & physically! #LondonInvicta @16RegtRA

[Battery Sergeant Major @RA_SNCO]

Love it!! #UBIQUE

[7 Para RHA @Airbornegunners]

The Lead Assault Force knocked it out of the park on this demo working superbly with the Jordanian Special Forces to show that even as a force parachuted in it still punches way above its weight. @Airbornegunners at the heart of it to bring the ‘rain’ #UKVeryHighReadiness

[Battery Sergeant Major @RA_SNCO]

This week 16RA are deployed on Exercise to conduct a Regt’l Best Detachment competition. They will conduct various soldiering tasks including ranges, navigation and reconnaissance. As always when on exercise, the heavens open up! More to follow! @16RegtRA

@WhittakerHelen @Stokesy535 @Formerparastout @petedonovan50 It’s crazy! I wonder at what level we are deemed to be “adult” enough. 🤣

[Battery Sergeant Major @RA_SNCO]

@Stokesy535 @Formerparastout @petedonovan50 I am a 35yo WO2 and bought my own house not far from camp, I also needed permission before HR would change my status and allowances! It’s ridiculous indeed and needs to be scrapped. Long gone the excuse ‘but it’s how we’ve always done it’. Do officers require the same permission?
