[mattG]

"Morgan the organ" once laid down under a group of PRC'ers on the pull up bars & started barking & growling at them,eveyone of them achieved at least the required 5 and then some.

I remember John Morgan he left after we came back from Fermanagh in 95 or 96 I think. He went to be a stunt man as far as I know. Saw him on the Harry Enfield show once the old gits were in the park and a skater comes down a path and the old gits pull a rope across the path and trip him. He was a striper as well.

He's a stunt man now and was, I think, in the film Gladiator. My little boy's best mate's dad (tenuous? moi?) works with him quite a bit and greeted me (as a former bootneck) as some kind of nutter because the only other bootneck he'd met was morgan the organ.

Getting back on thread there definitely have been asians in the Corps, I remember a Sikh who preferred to wear a beret rather than a turban.

Getting back to the original question of Indians in the Corp,I think the inherent attitude within the corps(speaking purely from my experience)is that if you pass the Commando tests regardless of colour or race you are a Royal Marine Commando....End of Issue.....Good luck mate!!

may I just add...... that if you pass the Commando tests, having just completed a 10 -14 day grueling final exercise,having just completed 27 weeks of the most arduous infantry training in the western world.....then you are a Royal Marine Commando regardless of race or colour....even more good luck.

Had an Anglo-Indian, Ty Kennedy on a rebro team with me for much of my time in 40 68-71, good laugh, sex mad, but could make a rat pack worth eating by adding a few spices here and there, curried processed cheese anyone?
