Ha. This makes me laugh. "Poofters"? What you on with? Everyone knows gay people are in the Marines, and every other branch of the Forces. They always have been, they always will be. A bit like society. If you've ever heard of that? :roll:

I've heard what went one... and it sounds like bulling to ...

Maria, its worth the trip to Ashbourne, (the Gateway to Dovedale, some good walking routes) you can imagine a football field 3 miles long, with things like houses and shops and pubs in the way, nice to pop into the pub on your way to the other side of town, to tap the post three times. I only live ...

Del,

BUD/S stands for Basic Underwater Demolition / SEAL - it's the selection and training course for US Navy SEALs. More info can be found here: http://www.specialoperations.com/School ... ault2.html

I would hazard a guess that it has to be, as BUD/S can be undertaken by a civvie with no previous military. I guess they have to instill some military discipline :o

Not entirely true. They go through Navy "boot camp" and their trade course before attending BUD/S. So they are basically trained ...

8:55? A very good time my friend. My personal best so far is 9:53.
I have just started running longer distances. I ran six miles last week in 50 mins. That works out to be about 8.5 mins a mile... to those in the know is that any good?
That is pretty good. I always used to aim for 8 miles in 60 ...

No, the nearest 23 unit to Nottingham is Birmingham.

g75, 4 Para moved from Nottingham a few years ago unfortunately. I think they're based in Leeds now.

leej, I asked this very question at my AFCO final interview a week ago (!). You are able to volunteer during your phase 2 training I understand ... so, you are able to go on P-Company pretty much straight after being qualified.

It has been said before and will be said again:

... Not forgetting Sneaky Beaky ...

LOL I think Lew is right, this is turning into handbags :o
I have no idea what "SP/My B's" are. Hope that answers your question. And I'm not sure why I'd need to do it via PM ... if you're thinking the information would validate me as a member of 23 (?). Well, I'm not claiming membership - I never ...

Lew, your concern is heart warming Converstaion with Legless taken to PM ....

I did 6 months with 23 SAS in Birmingham in 2001.
