little jim said:Wow, I hope the young Gunner with then initials N.G. gets someone in his chain to fill him in on topics like "staying in your lane" or maybe Army News picks up on the difference between some Pte's rumours and news. Quotes to the effect that its a 'Battle Ready Group' and 'Its like the old Airborne Regiment' are not only false but are damaging. If someone has questions they should contact their base PSO and recruiting - not fabricate rumours.

Bubbles said:Missed that last video. There's also the very first, and very detailed, video that introduces the creation of CSOR, although it's link has already been posted acouple of times on this forum.
CSOR - U.S. Army Rangers
Cdn Ab Rgt - parachute-capable light force
That's a simplistic analogy but that's really the simplest way for anyone to understand the different roles of the two units. Although...it has been stated elsewhere that Ottawa is 'reconsidering' CSOR's role, but that's just more RUMINT for ya.
Hey. I'm an Air Cadet (777 Neptune)
GO!!! said:Little jim,
You still have'nt explained why it is "damaging" for a unit to be compared to the Airborne - even as a frame of reference.
