OK
You just seemed to have contradicted yourself there.
I hope I'm not the only one that noticed.

my apologies this is probabuly(sorry i cant spell) in the wrong forum but im just wondering whether or not i count as a foreigner with regards to joining the royal marines. Ive been living in singapore for three years with a possibiluty of another two to come, does this affect anything?
im not looking to apply for another two too five years (depends on uni or not) so i would be greatful for any advice.

P.S. -

If you feel confident it's because there's something you don't know

your telling me i just had my GCSE english

OC mortars troop 45 Commando RM 1994 Op Driver Kuwait, he was South African kept calling the Kuwaitis Ka**ers! (not meant for offence that one and I probably spelt it wrong anyway)

You can buy a smock for about 30 quid 95, BTW does the 2000 really have IR deflectors on it????

"Some guy in a pub claims to be SF" and "I asked him a question about................." and "he couldnt answer me"

Yes theres wannabes and liars out there but whats cheesing me off is not the guys who post the topic of "when I caught a wannabe out" but the cadets/students/Camtechs and Knifes of this world who seem to know all about SF and can tell you the questions to ask to catch a wannabe out. You who propose these stupid questions in the forums based on some internet search are also wannabes. Makes for an interesting scenerio that one - two idiots in a pub asking each other about

Fieldcraft shit

when neither has the remotest clue or substance of character to back any claim or counter claim up.
And if to top it all these people come onto a Military forums site and then right about it. Look I for one aint ex-SF, the closest Ive come to the SAS is doing a pre-selection medical on a mate before I never saw him again. But I am an ex-serving member of the Armed Forces and one thats sick of rolling my eyes at yet another twat in a pac-a-mac telling us all that Spetnaz are the best and the new combat jacket has some velcro 2mm from where it was on the old one.
Rant over, I await one of you "know it alls" to reply with a witty comment and support with "but I read somewhere...........and your wrong!"

Hear hear.

Well said doc and goreD
Hear hear again.
(I read that in a book somewhere, or was it on a TV programme?)

My Denison smock is older than the majority of those using this forum. A great bit of kit for gardening in the fall.

Reading through this thread I noticed Chunky's posts. Anyone know where he is or how he is doing?

Aye - Andy.

Andy,
I have asked this question before and no one seems to have heard. Sticky Blue has tried to find out what has happened to him but as we only have a first name to go on ( Mick) and the fact that he seems to be SAS TA, we haven't had much luck.
I have a horrible feeling that given his medical history, (he was in and out of hospital), that he is no longer with us.
I just hope that we will be proved wrong and that he will all of a sudden appear with the comment (like Mark Twain), that reports of his demise are greatly exaggerated.

Same her SB. Just wish their was some way of finding out whats happened to Chunky.

He's one of the lads and his input is always pertinant.
