I have been looking for books on the marines but havent really found any first hand account ones by actual marines which I prefer to the historians books.

I mentioned aggression because of what Ive read about the paras being trained to be quite aggressive,more so than other regiments and I didnt ...

Ive heard and read a bit about the marines having a different mentality from the army and particularly the paras.

I know that the paras are trained to be really aggressive and fast moving,to get out of the drop zone and all and that the marines are more trained to be amphibious etc but what are the ...

Peter Ratcliffes Eye of The Storm gives a pretty good explanation of Mcnabs and Ryans books and what actually probably happened (and didnt).

Plus its a brilliant read and the guy is a legend.

Try the catterick website,I know theres a pdf of the paras CIC course on there.

How sad,my little brother doesnt play games like this.

Anyway,seeing as your the all great just go ahead and delete my account from here.
This site is dead now anyway.

Its really quite sad to see people taking a pop at me on my thread.
Please stop as your really hitting my self esteem so badly and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
Have you really got nothing better to do....?

Yeah its relief more than anything!!
Absolutely hated the hazard perception ever since I started practicing it.
My nan wont let me use her car though.

Ex-lax?
Ive got a sprain not a blockage problem...



Then again I could do with losing some weight.

Woo hoo,passed my driving theory today.
Dead chuffed.
Second time round actually.
Seems to be my luck getting things done the second time......
No matter though,I dont have to revies on that bloody practice disk anymore.

Yeah,I went to the docs today and Ive finally managed to get a physio appointment...........sometime.
Im back on a load of pills too now as well unfortunately.

That if I want to do anything,I want to go back and be a Para.
I want a second chance to prove myself and show I have got what it takes.
Ive been putting off phoning the Para recruiting team to see what they say about me re-applying (my AFCO officer said he would put me forward for them again,even ...

Good news now.
Went to the docs eventually and he said its proably a groin sprain so thats a load off my mind!!
Got some pain killers too.

Just wondering if I should do any gentle stretches on it or a warm up?
Also,does anyone know WHAT type of stretches should do on it and how long ?
Cheers.

Yeah,Im gonna book in for that presentation soon when my weeks holiday comes up and get all the forms and freebies and stuff.
Seen the doc about my hip and he thinks its a sprain,you should see the size of the pills he gave me........look like bloody supositorys!!

Yeah,getting injured is the worst thing ever and it really hits my morale and gets me down.Its the frustration more than anything.

Im doing this because I had the chance already and know what it feels like to look back and regret,now Ive just got a different attitude,outlook and drives.

Hmm,well to be honest I dont see the point going to a doc as the only advice and help(?? :-? ) I`ll get is "rest it and take painkillers and if it isnt right in a month...........do it again!!" :-?

Ive got an appointment on friday with a chiropractor (who Ive heard is good and sorted out another ...
