Is that what they wear in a ct role?-Nomex.What is the body armour made of?Kevlar?

P.s I know I`m going off the subject but since aldo was talking about Eddie
Stone did anyone see on last years BBC documentary he binned someone
for no apparent reason,from what I remember I think the bloke`s name was Nigel and he was a climber ,anyway he seemed to fly through all the physical exertions and it seemed to annoy Stone.The presenter Dermot
O`Leary asked Stone why he binned him and Stone did`nt really have an
excuse,it was obvious he was annoyed that one of the contestants was doing so well and he could`nt take it,well that`s how I see it.

It wasn't the bloke you was already in the infantry was? If it was, there's your answer.

You can pass selection but if they dont like you,you dont get in.

They may think you are a big head.

The grey man gets in.

The person who stands out will not.

Aldo no it was`nt the bloke who said he was in the para`s,he served somewhere in South america with them and for the show you wer`nt suppose to have any military experience so stone dumped him.But I thought him binning the other chap was unfair but if that how it works well
que sera, sera.
What`s the story about stone is he still serving in the regiment or can you say?
