The Circuit - Bob Shepherd

Post by gpw2009 »

Really interesting insight into what actually happens to CP teams in Iraq and Afganistan. Never realised how much work and effort went into that type of job, and how poorley the CP blokes are looked after!

Also briefly talks about his part in the 'Bravo Two Zero' mission:

"In my view, it remains the worst operation patrol in SAS history." (Bob Shepherd - The Circuit)

Also he talks about this clip in the book:

Well worth a read :D
