   Are most of their training courses completed in the FI and what sort access do they have to piggy back on the UK based training courses ?

   I sense the influence of the permanently attached RM WO in the making of this, especially the final bit about earning your beret!

   Where can I sign up?

   Just trying to spot some of their equipment. Are they still using the Steyr AUG? Looks like it.

   Do they have a .50 cal sniper rifle?

   I’m going down there to join. That was a good video.

   Did I spy AUGs with SUSATS?

   Where? I see AUGs with their standard Steyr optic. Give us a time reference. The FIDF are better off than the Bermudians who use off the shelf Ruger Mini-14s.

   Definitely AUGs with SUSAT. There’s another sight in there too at the start when they stacked, second man in.

   Looks like it doesn’t? Not to worry the SUSAT was by the far the best bit of the original SA80 system (followed by the bayonet, the sling, ) so it won’t upset the Steyr.

    Is it OK to laugh? The video felt like a promo for an upcoming game. Perhaps it was just too much kick arse!
