New patch in A'stan

Dad, OPSEC!

And your colleagues are right about Golf company.

As for the triangle, in The RCR regimental standing orders every first company is denoted by a triangle, red happens to be the colour identifier for G Coy, 2 RCR. Although the Coy structure no longer exist for the deployment, we chose to keep our lineage with the triangle and colour, as we are one of the very few intact platoons who deployed on CCTM-A Roto 1.

On a side note, the badge pictured above was actually rejected. It was the prototype pattern. The final version does not have the harness on the horse's head.

OPSEC.... now there's an understatement!

I think I now know far too much about Youg Law's unit, location, who its leader is, when they arrived, and what identifying patch to look for..... (and good luck to him, BTW....)

I remember flying out to Iraq via Kuwait from Sydney airport in 2008: the flight was not listed on the departures board, and all pers checked in and boarded with not a stitch of anything military to distinguish them from 'tourists'. All the movement docs were classified restricted etc etc... (and I was only going for a few weeks!)
