Can that be right and I wonder does that mean the TA will be fighting alongside regular soldiers without appropriate training? Is this the thin end of the wedge for the TA; gone within a few years maybe? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

You sound like you've been to Haight-Ashbury too many times! I know you've been on POE nearly 2 mo. longer than I because you greeted me in "User Introductions" last July. I even sent my phone number by message from POE because you only live 250 miles from me. Several members live in Arizona; God only knows why they live there. Along with my friend Lancashirelove, Peace be with you. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I had never noticed this thread before. Perhaps they are similar to the National Guard over here. But the Guard is not for holidaymakers--they've been diverted to the Mid-East. James I know exactly where your current profile picture comes from. The Phil Silver's Show aka Sgt. Bilko. Used to watch that whilst a child. It hasn't run on T.V. here since the 1970's. I'm getting so old I think soon I'll be referred to as the Royal and Ancient just like St. Andrews lol. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
