Famous Churchill Quote and Question?
(25 Messages)
Churchill once said 'You havn't known war until you fought the Hun'...... Now that is certainly acknowledgement of the fighting ability of the German though I am not sure he is referring to WW1 or WW2............ With that in mind though, what was it that made the Teuton such an excellent soldier? Or is this perhaps a bit of a myth?

Kneller Hall Phase Two training for all soldiers in the Corps of Army Music is undertaken on the Foundation Course at RMSM which lasts between 11 and 44 working weeks (depending on your standard of musicianship on entry). This is a rolling course, designed to allow musicians to fulfil their potential early, pass the mandatory tests, and be posted to a band as soon as possible. Further career courses and instrumental training sessions are additionally run at the RMSM.
The Corps of Army Music needs musicians who are keen to make a real musical contribution to the ensemble. We don't try to teach a standard way of doing things: we expect the trainees to think for themselves, be creative, and develop their own individual approach to music-making. This will continue once each musician reaches a band. Every musician has something to offer the ensemble and often has talents beyond their primary instrument. As with all music and indeed soldiering 'team work' is crucial.

Guardsmen Get Special Training At New Shooting Academy The distinctive sound of automatic rifle fire pierces the sweltering air north of Tulsa. Ideally, it's followed by a metallic ping as a chest-sized target is hit in the distance, up to a hundred yards away on the shooting range. It probably goes without saying that a soldier is trained to shoot, but it's easy to forget that they have to learn a lot of other things that can take away from their shooting training. The United States Shooting Academy here in Tulsa is a new private company, with more than a dozen different ranges. ...
West Point might train residents to ID discarded ammo Now the military is weighing a recommendation to train the 10,000-plus residents — cadets, instructors, support staff and their families who call West Point home — how to spot and report the discarded munitions. The 519-page report due today at West Point was prepared by TLI Solutions, a Colorado-based contractor that searched hundreds of acres at the Academy, looking for buried explosives with high-tech gadgets. If the report's recommendations are adopted, West Point would make an effort to let people on base know how to deal with the unexploded munitions if they stumble upon ...
