Radio Appointment Titles - NI days
Hi All, many thanks for the really great info ref the No 5 Jungle Rifle....and Walters is now seeking to delve into the collective memory. I am after any radio appointment titles which we used in NI prior to radio comms going secure as I am helping with an education project.
I recall such as: SOCO (for the scene of crime officer); RUCSAC (for RUC); POINTER (for the RMP team); WAGTAIL (for the search dog); NIGHTSUN (for the heli search light)....but some key ones elude my decaying memory (addled from many excesses I fear), such as the Doc, ATO, RE Search Team etc.
May I disturb and ask for any that come to mind, gentlemen? Many thanks for your help.
Owen W

Here's a few CLICK!
But I've never heard of some of the ones in that link and I knew every single appointment title that existed in any infantry sigs pamphlet - trust me!
But as for NI specific ones - or even general ones, my memory fails me now - my main one these days is "'er indoors" - which is a few notches above "Moonbeam's Sunray"!!
"Coffee Pot" was one (female RMP as opposed to female UDR which as mentioned, was 'Greenfinch' - quite apt really - common bird)
One I really liked, which may well have been unique to RWF was 'Brimstone' for the padre.
'Snapper' was another - riot dog.
Working for yourself is great, not only can you work half days, you can choose which 12 hours!
