my father was a RGJ and i been looking around the internet to find out any history about them, but there is nothing really in detail, anyone know someone i can get in contact with?
GOOD LUCK 2 ALL THOSE LADS there all there in afghanistan now COME HOME SAFELY .. most of you came back from Iraq you CAN and WILL come BACK god bless are lads that didn't x
Its a big shame they messed with the Reg. As for the old ways gone??? not sure about that, from what I see a lot of the Jackets are hanging on to the old ways. Many wearing RGJ pin's somewhere on their uniform in defiance of the change and as the saying goes..... once a Jacket always a Jacket. Hang on to the old ways & show the rest of them how its done I reckon, Jackets are known for not letting the shit get em down & keep the old ways alive . Swift & Bold
Well im joining 1st rifles on the 1st of July, well doing basic training to join 1st rifles, and last time i went to beechley baracks in chepstow, it has a big sign saying home of the royal green jackets =/
My Dad was 1RGJ 22 yrs, My lad is 1RGJ now 2 Rifles who are based in Ballykinler. The home of RGJ is Winchester and I believe 1 Rifles are made up from RGBW and D&D, though there may be a few Jackets but not sure on that bit.
4 Rifles are based in Bulford and were 2nd Bat RGJ, unsure of the rest at the mo. Sorry.

well what the hell do u want them to do under attack stand their and take it ya total twonk thats why they joined the forces to serve and protect not to play titdly winks when getting shot at jesus christ why are kids allowed to use the internet
Celsojac! how old r u? probably about 18? and you have no idea about life experiences, this is the 21st century, and sadly my loved one, and many others r out there fighting for your freedom! get a grip and understand! I wish it wasn't happening, but it is, and the public need to know they r doing it for them! so you can live in a free world!!
hello celsojac! this is what life is like for our lads and lasses in the forces, they r there to do a job, for YOU, and all of Joe Public! not nice I know, but you need to get a grip and understand! question....how old r u?? sadly this is life in the 21st century! it shouldn't be happening, but it is! and the general public should be supporting the troops!
Hey celsojac! get a grip and understand what life is about in the 21st century! these lads and lasses r fighting and protecting us! sad I know, it shouldn't be happening, but they r there for us!! oh and BTW for you as well!
Good luck with your your training and your right they are the best Reg(that is Royal Green jackets of course) just a damn shame they took away their identity and amalgamated them into the Rifles. But once a Jacket always a Jacket :-)
hehe ta, and true, when i went to the AFCO the guy asked "what regiment would u want to join" and i was like, ooh, ill join rgj, and hes like thers no such thing as the rgj anymore and i was like "yeh..thats what u think ;]" ...i said like too much then.
wishing you all the best in your training.Our son is in the rifles and are very proud of him and not to mention his brother that is in the Artillery .
My family were in the Guards, so I don't know an awful lot about the other regiments sadly. I don't know all the facts in regard to the amalgamation of various regiments. Have the Royal Green jackets essentially been converted into a battalion within The Rifles and are still able to hold onto their identities as a regiment, with regard to ceremony and tradition and their place within the force?
so wish i was there, wud of been if i didnt get bullied. but the lads who bullied me got punished. i wud of been in this passing out parade. i am in the process of going back, the army is my life. loved every minute of it.
I was 1RGJ 89-93 Osnabruck, Armagh, I love the regiment and its history and it has a big history.
