Glen, as yet i have not seen what has been published in the forum
regarding the closure of the depot, but if what your saying the
official closure was in march does this not make the situation even
worse, FAB

once a soldier always a soldier
once a remf always a remf
Soldiers have a great respect for each other, they understand each
other. How can anyone expect some arse sitting behind a desk
understand that or care about that. But im sure some one will get a
gong for doing a good job at closing the depot down

Having been in comms with the Depot I feel we (inc. myself) have moved
to hastily to judge the conduct of others regarding the recent shut
down of the Depot, and its removal from the Order of Battle within the
Army.
Gerry, our webmaster is about to get an official line on the event
which he will publish, but for now I advise the PUBLIC and OFFICIAL
closure happened in March.
The present Regimental Colonel is Lt. Colonel A. Hart who most of us
will know as a fine Ranger Officer and I believe a SITREP will
follow.
As stated previous: the 1st Battalion of the Royal Irish Regiment is
our Home now. Those men require our continued loyalty, support and
comraderie.

I have read the comments from our disgusted members of the Regt. I
moved to THE DEPOT from Eglington as an instructor. THE DEPOT was
re-furbished to take the North Irish Brigade and no matter what
happens in the future it will always be our home. Perhaps the
individuals who where invited should take the time to comment, but
then they probibly don't even look in our own WEB SITE.

Good morning to all in Ranger Land,
I have read all that evryone has said about the Depot and I agree that
the way that she was closed down was nothing but a sham!
We all shold have been given an invite and if it took all day for us
to march off the square for for the last time then it should have
happened.
RHQ take note, you are there, where there, to help us all, we where
the ones that keep you all in YOUR jobs. With out us walking through
them gates when we joined up many years ago you people would not have
your jobs. But you lot forget very quickley where you all come form,
as your all up some ones ass trying to look good and better
yourselves.
What you all have done will hunt you all for ever as we the
"True Ranger Family" will always remind you of this!
To All in the Ranger Family remember "We are The People"
if your not in an association then please go out and join one, you
will find your local one on here. If you want to keep the Ranger Name
alive dont just come on here and shout about it, get off your ass once
a month and make your voice heard. Help keep the Ranger name alive.
The associations do a lot of work and run trips days out social avents
so we all can meet up 3-4 times a year. We could do a lot more if more
jion and work together. I have been in touch with other branches and
trying to bring beanches together for days out and events. It's
takes time but well worth it. If we all work together then big events
can happen but it will take us all to pull together. Team work is what
its all about lads. We become stronger if we work on our own we will
loose it all! Maybe thats what they want!!
If you love our Regiment as we all say we do then lads make your
mark! Actions speek louder than words!
Faugh A Ballagh

Hello To all the Ranger family.
Well after reading about the closer of St Patricks Bks does it really
surprise anyone. We the Rangers where sold out in 1992 ???? And they
have been trying to forget the history of the Rangers since then. But
let them try, those Senior Officers ( Blow inns) with no understanding
of the Irish mans spirit. We the Irish Rangers will never go away. We
have enough good men and woman to keep the Ranger family together.
Big Charlie Beattie looking forward to are night out mate and seeing
some old friends. Back home in August
