    We've been given special access to see how Royal Marines are preparing to deploy to the Caribbean during hurricane season. Exercise Merlin Storm is an annual exercise but this year it is focusing on testing the Commando Helicopter Force's (CHF) ability to operate in disaster assistance. The CHF is on standby to head to the Caribbean, bolstering a Royal Navy-led task group already on patrol in the region. Merlin Storm has been held in both Wales and the south-west, and also involves troops from the British Army.

      Indeed! The Royal Marines are to some extent the successors of the cavalry regiments of the 1800s, who had fancy uniforms and very exuberant moustaches and sideburns.

      Fire Blade890 don’t be a fool and talk about things you have no clue about. I served in a cavalry regiment for 10yrs, applied for the Army pilot course, passed grading and loaded onto course, passed fixed wing, rotary basic and advanced rotary. I have no degree. Maybe you are confusing the RAF requirements with Army pilots.
