Royal Signals officer with a relevant degree & decent track record has got to be worth a vote? Sheโs even near top of the list so you donโt 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 ๐๐๐. @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
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
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 โrainโ #UKVeryHighReadiness
This week 16RA are deployed on Exercise to conduct a Regtโl 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

@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! Itโs ridiculous indeed and needs to be scrapped. Long gone the excuse โbut itโs how weโve always done itโ. Do officers require the same permission?
