If you can read a map and find your way
And trust your compass and follow where it may
If you can trust yourself when we all doubt you
And make allowance for our doubting too.
If you can walk and not be tired walking
Or being lost and late dont deal in lies
Or when slience give way to talking
Not talk too big or talk too wise.
If you can hump a bergen nor mind the weight
And care for it though it was your life
If you can fight alone and basha with a mate
And work with him yet never come to strife.
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they have gone
And so hold on when there is nothing left in you
Except the will which says hold on.
If you can walk with troggs yet keep your virtue
Or walk with brass nor lose the common touch
If neither us or Peny-Y-Fan deter you
If all men count with you but none to much.
If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds run
Yours are the wings and everything thats with it
And which is more......... Your SAS my Son.

Lenny,
Suggest you look-up the poem 'IF' by Rudyard Kipling.
Sounds familiar!!!
It would seem that the last verse has in fact been overlooked.
Yet past the final moutain, should the Pilgrim not remain
With both jungle and desert treated just the same
To paddle that extra distance beyond the frozen surf
Yours is the Earth, Sea and Sky and more than that is worth
----You are now SBS my Son.
