Ministry Of Defence (East Midlands)
Eight town tour in recruitment drive for Navy Reservists

HMS Sherwood is touring eight towns in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire
next week to seek new recruits for its team of reservists.
HMS Sherwood in Nottingham is the training base for reservists from
across the East Midlands and South Yorkshire. They are taking to the
road in a special recruitment vehicle complete with interactive
capabilities and will visit eight local town centres over the next week
to attract potential new recruits aged between 16 and 40.

The team will be visiting:

Monday 30 October: am - Beeston, pm - Arnold
Tuesday 31 October: am - Heanor, pm - Alfreton
Wedesday 1 November: Mansfield
Thursday 2 November: am - Hucknall, pm - Bulwell
Friday 3 November: Derby city centre

Leading Seaman Derek Parsons, the New Entry instructor from HMS
Sherwood, will be available for photographs and interviews at the above
locations - please contact Alice Oliver at Government News Network on
0115 971 2784 to arrange.

The Royal Navy Reserve (RNR) is an integral part of Britain's naval
forces, comprising a corps of some 2,250 men and women who train in
peacetime to enable the Royal Navy to meet its operational commitments
in times of stretch, crisis, tension and war. Although some 25% of RNR
personnel have previously served in the Royal Navy, the majority are
volunteers drawn from all walks of life, together with a small number of
qualified Merchant Navy deck officers, civilian medical practitioners
and nurses working on a part time basis with their full time employer's
knowledge and support.

As a member of the RNR, reservists are liable to serve in support of
both national emergency or in support of military operations outside the
UK, including humanitarian operations and disaster relief. In normal
peacetime circumstances, they will be required to undertake a minimum of
12 days Operational Role Training (ORT) per annum, together with a
number of training nights and some weekends. Most new entrants will be
expected to attend training nights once a week at their nearest RNR Unit.

Anyone unable to attend the roadshows but interested in finding out
more, can contact the unit direct on 0115 929 6373. Further information
about careers in the Royal Navy and Royal Marines is available on the
internet at  http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careers or by calling the
recruitment line on 08456 075 555 to speak to a fully trained adviser.

Issued on behalf of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines by Government News
Network GNN East Midlands.

For more information please call Alice Oliver on 0115 971 2793.

... And without him all this killing can't go on.

04.11.2006 03:24

He's five foot-two, and he's six feet-four,
He fights with missiles and with spears.
He's all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen,
Been a soldier for a thousand years.

He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain,
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew.
And he knows he shouldn't kill,
And he knows he always will,
Kill you for me my friend and me for you.

And he's fighting for Canada,
He's fighting for France,
He's fighting for the USA,
And he's fighting for the Russians,
And he's fighting for Japan,
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way.

And he's fighting for Democracy,
He's fighting for the Reds,
He says it's for the peace of all.
He's the one who must decide,
Who's to live and who's to die,
And he never sees the writing on the wall.

But without him,
How would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau?
Without him Caesar would have stood alone,
He's the one who gives his body
As a weapon of the war,
And without him all this killing can't go on.

He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame,
His orders come from far away no more,
They come from here and there and you and me,
And brothers can't you see,
This is not the way we put the end to war.


... Universal Soldier ...

A suggestion.

Thanks, that poem was really powerful. I find army recruitment thoroughly disgusting stuff. Too much to be able to deal with really. I would get involved in disrupting/ protesting at these places but I'm at the other end of the country. An idea to take up everywhere really.... Anyway I heard that there was quite an active clown army in Nottingham. Do they know about this? It could be something they could take on. I've seen a video of an action they did at an army recruitment centre, and they SHUT IT DOWN.
Just an idea.
