NCO's are Flight Engineers
Air Loadmasters
Ground Engineers/airborne techs..

"Blabbing"???

Your sounding like you know it was the SAS and that ive let the cat out of the bag.


It is my opinion,which i am entitled to FFS:smokin:
 












It was either James Bond, or the same person who shot J.R.



It was the fuzz forfuxsake, they are over-rated as 'intelligence', they just think they are important and on-a-mission because they have a title. They screwed up big-style, imagining themselves to be acting like 'secret agents' like on the films, and they made the worst bodge up EVER in police history (since Giant Haystacks).

I think this whole episode has only gone to underline the complete LACK of police intelligence, and that the public shouldn't put any faith in the ob to get anything right.

p.s. I was in the Hove Sea Cadets (even THAT minor association with Navy concerns outranks all army and air-force officers).

Maybe you can be our token Rockape, or you could be our mascot, then you could wear your uniform and try and fill in the Wolves mascot when were next up there. Mind you, mascots look silly ........... but being a Rockape you'd be used to it.
:D

Been mentioned on here a few times. Normal policy is to put rounds into the largest area - the torso. Because of the amount of organs in this area, and the rounds that are being used, you are pretty much guaranteed a kill with a pair of rounds. If you introduce suicide bombers into the equation, it may mean that a round to the torso could set of explosives. Very few people are taught to shoot a distinct body areas, so the current policy is to make the shot to the head. However, the headshot is not a guaranteed kill, and the body motor responses may function before the brain stops working. The safest way to stop any motor function is to completely destroy brain activity as quickly as possible - this means multiple shots. Anyone that has slaughtered animals will also recognise this - a head shot to a cow does little more than stun them, which is why you then have a special tool which is used to destroy the brain, producing death. The human body is remarkably resilient, and will function when you think it should be flat on the floor!

When you have multiple officers, their sole task is to make a situation safe. They cannot rely on one officer making the required amount of killing shots, which is why multiple officers discharged weapons.

Messy, unpalatable for many, but true.

1stly, I'm not at all military trained.
2ndly, I can't reveal my source,
3rdly, I too have signed the Official Secrets Act and carry a level of national security clearance.
but ....
When SAS shoot to kill, they are trained to shoot the target with a single shot to the mouth.
a) there is no hidden protection (bullet-proof vest etc.)
b) death is near instant, but most crucially, the exit wound takes the spinal cord with it, so any final message from the brain to any muscle will not be activated (typically a finger on a trigger).
