He was indeed in the army I was in the Signal's learning all about communications (Army college) so although we did learn how to operate weapons our main thing was learning how to set up lines of communication, understanding telephone systems etc. It was good fun, but not really for me, so I got out before I had to buy myself out Back to top estelle Joined: 24 Apr 2005 Posts: 204 Location: oxfordshire Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2005 10:06 am    Post subject: a friend of mine was in the signals, he went to iraq first time round.
