Hazzalenco,

I had some contact with HCR almost 3 years ago. I came over and visited Combermere Barracks 12 Sept. 2001. I was fortunate enough to have had lunch at Hyde Park Barracks the following day with Silver Stick in-waiting and the Regimental Adjutant. Unfortunately, my Crohn's disease made ...

While I was reading Nigel Foster's "The Making of a Royal Marines Commando" (in particular the recount of an SBS operation to destroy a communications cable relay in Iraq), I began to wonder if Special Forces soldiers use "foreign" weapons during operations. Would they use AK-47's, atc., non-Nato ...

Lates.

Gentlemen,

Just thought I'd see if I can get a reply over the ...

Ah, but the North Koreans have already struck...(has anyone ever had 'kim chi'?) Beware that highly secret, but nonetheless effective NWMD (Nutrional Weapon of Mass Destruction), it burns the tongues right out of the mouths of those who ingest it, thereby reducing communication ability to nil!
