Don't worry, whatever you may have done, be assured that someone out there has bettered it.

Country:  | Im paying £51 a week atm, the block next year will be a bit flashier so prob £65-ish. I dont actually recall much of any weekend, and need to be reminded of things frequently...which can be a b*tch when the person doin the reminding came home with you at some point in the weekend!  Aaahh yes, the student lifestyle...if only I could remeber what it was...

Country: | Yes it involved some of that on Friday morning (Southern Fried Chicken from Northern Sole doesn't taste the same on it's return) but I've never pulled a gun on anyone

Country: | £37 p.w? Gawd! I bet it would be a big pile of crapola for that money though! I've visited some really nasty student digs in my time. | |

Country: | The 98 is a pig of a weapon,but when it works its sweet to use. Our CSM was LSW trained, that livened exercises up a bit The sound of the LSW opening fire was usually accompanied by a stream of expletives from the target and the sound of an NCO dragging a petrified recruit into cover!

Country: | Yeah they let us used the LSW, I really liked the SUSAT (not sure of my spelling) sight used on it. They just did not give us eneogh amunition for it.

Country: | You were lucky, we got a ton of ammo on exercises, and I never realised how much difference a mag can make till I was fully webbed up trying to find a way of staying upright! Having said that, all that ammo was useful for those situations where the only way of getting the LSW to stop was having an entire fire team empty thier mags in the CSMs direction!
