Thought you'd have more success than in June ?

No discussion needed -all regiments are the best.

[zzxxee]

maybe

[Lonnie]

Okay, for a discussion, Why the Royal Marines and not any other?.

[zzxxee]

because their training is longer than any other regiment in the world and the hardest
not only do they need to pass this but they also have to gain their para wings on top

Yes, I know jack, but i'm approaching this from a different angle this time,

zzxxee, I'n not sure if you believe that or not, as I said before, you have to know the training methods of other units from different countries, but the RMs couldn't have done my job, I was RA, and I couldn't have done theirs, unless we were specifically trained for it.

They certainly are elitist, no question, buy the best in the world?. they may well be, but they'd have to prove it.

dancairo, in other words, specialists at your own job.

couldn't agree more.
