@ATRW_RSM @LDLightCav @LDLtCav_LE_Offr Probably not this year unless it’s distance learning 😂

Thanks everyone, it’s been a pleasure. Hand over done and kit prepped for Monday morning. I started this account as an experiment and it’s been pretty positive for @LDLightCav on the whole so I’ll hand it over then start again. Follow me again @LDLtCav_LE_Offr

@Chris_Jelf @LDLightCav @LDLtCav_LE_Offr 👍🏻

@Chris_Jelf @LDLightCav @LDLtCav_LE_Offr Cheers Jelfie. If someone had asked who you’d storm the Iranian embassy with I’d be in though right 😉.

@UKMilAd_UN We were both coming. Now not coming.

My wife decided to let me open my 40th birthday present a few weeks early..............It’s the thought that counts!!! @UKMilAd_UN we could have met up for a beer.

I managed to save the links to keep the kids occupied to an adobe document. Hopefully this link works for you guys. https://t.co/nA3jozTMvW

@toddy7196 @LDLightCav It’s a PDF so I can’t send over here. PM your email and I’ll send it over.

[RSM - The Light Dragoons @RSMLightDragoon]

A great idea from CO @LDLightCav. A list of links he asked me to send to our soldiers, families and friends to keep the kids occupied so I thought I’d share it with you. Enjoy.

@RAC_Corps_SM @thattallguyin @UKMilAd_UN @AmmoandC @LDLightCav @RoyalArmdCorps @ChurchillsOwn @ArmdCavRDG @TheRoyalLancers @ComdOffr @HCav1660 @RiflesRegiment As much as I’d like to take credit, @andy_meenan has brought this together. 👏🏻

A productive meeting today with @AmmoandC. A good first step to bringing @LDLightCav and the other participating @RoyalArmdCorps Regiments into the 21st century with an online PRI shop. @RAC_Corps_SM @ChurchillsOwn @ArmdCavRDG @TheRoyalLancers @ComdOffr @HCav1660

@thattallguyin @UKMilAd_UN @AmmoandC @LDLightCav @RoyalArmdCorps @RAC_Corps_SM @ChurchillsOwn @ArmdCavRDG @TheRoyalLancers @ComdOffr @HCav1660 @RiflesRegiment Final point. I don’t care about profit. let’s say a PRI makes £1000 in profit in a year (unlikely) divide that against 500 soldiers (I’m led to believe its for them) thats £2 each. Now ask the soldiers if they’d rather have £2 or an excellent Regtl online shop. I know the answer!

@thattallguyin @UKMilAd_UN @AmmoandC @LDLightCav @RoyalArmdCorps @RAC_Corps_SM @ChurchillsOwn @ArmdCavRDG @TheRoyalLancers @ComdOffr @HCav1660 @RiflesRegiment Their technology splits the profit correctly so if QRH sell something from their page, they get the profit and not split across the other Regiments. We just do not have the capacity or capability of doing this.

@thattallguyin @UKMilAd_UN @AmmoandC @LDLightCav @RoyalArmdCorps @RAC_Corps_SM @ChurchillsOwn @ArmdCavRDG @TheRoyalLancers @ComdOffr @HCav1660 @RiflesRegiment That’s a question I’ve already posed. We’d have to pay a number of people a salary to run an online shop not to mention the cost of web design, packing and delivery costs etc. Then how does the small amount of profit get split. Ammo & co do all of the above for us.........

My youngest boys getting ready for the rugby today. He just needs to drop that shoulder a little. Reminds me of his namesake @charliedunn22 in the tackle.

@AWSChop18 The lake has been cleaned up apparently and the route changed slightly. It can’t be as bad as the last swim I did. 6 foot waves and jellyfish everywhere. Some poor lad drowned it was that bad. I’m looking forward to it. The endless hours of training are painful though.

So Im stupid enough to book 2 half Ironman distance triathlons in 5 weeks. Holkham Outlaw in Jun then Poland Half Ironman Aug. Both 70.3 miles, 1.2 mile swim 56 mile bike then 13.1 mile run. Aiming for under 5hr 15min. Really looking forward to that feeling of exhaustion and pain

[The Light Dragoons @LDLightCav]

Today C Sqn (The Legion) had their families afternoon. They deploy to Poland on Op CABRIT soon. It was capped off by the inaugural presentation of the ‘Mr Legion’ jacket to Cpl Patterson. Thanks to all the families that attended. @The_Black_Rats
