Hello Mate. Firstly, I'm not attempting to put anybody down here, in any form or fashion. I'm all for women in the industry - we do rely on them to keep everything turning and more are necessary. Regards the civvies, the same sentiment. What my point was, and what really grips my shit are companies that release civvies into the industry (with FA experience) and give them a wee piece of paper that suggests to them that they can crack on as a TL. Please! I'm sure it's possible, though believe it's damned rare!
Here's where I believe the Army and team building kicks in. Yes I agree that civvies are equal in the commercial world, but when the shit hits the fan, I want a seasoned soldier watching my arse! I don't care if it's a woman or a sheman, I want the experience behind me.
Also, I didn't say that Ronin SA were the best, I did say that they are setting the standards. Having completed 3 courses (yes I have civvy experience as well) Ronin SA (also civvies!) are far and above anybody else I've been with. The medical package alone and the ambulance/response shifts in Cape Town where you deal with real patients (gunshots/stabbings/heart attacks) is unbeatable. Marry that with the weapons, live firing, convoy driving, unarmed combat, tactical firearms and much more, you have a course to be beaten I tell you! I mean which course in UK even lets students practice IV's and LT's, let alone let you carry out CPR and IV's on a real patient. Let me know the answer to that one.
Anyway friend, thanks for the reply. All the best, Andy.
