Isn't the SBS going to be disbanded?

I read somewhere that the SBS was going to end and it's personnel would move to SAS's Boat Troop? Is this true?

Frankly I don't see why the SAS needs a boat troop if there is the SBS.

NO! is the answer.
Although they are "apeing" (not a very good term and one I am not happy with, but it seems appropriate.) the SAS - in as much as the organisation and roles are very similar.
The SBS are very strong and thriving. We have just had a re-union and we had a briefing on current roles and Ops.
I have the greatest admiration for the current guys. We didn't get to do half the things that they do.
It was also a brilliant weekend! In fact it was so good that I can't remember half of it!!

HVM Boy, wind yer neck in! The crack about the boathouse is an old joke. Do a search and you'll find out why.

Keep smiling.

Sticky,
Wasn't the question - a 9 letter word for a man from Northern Ireland ?
The answer could be either - Ulsterman or Terrorist!! Count the letters.!!
I think the answer was the former. (I hope!!)

Pongologs,

No, If you do a search you'll find that in the movie Ronin, when the Walter Mitty bloke is asked "what colour is the Boat house in Hereford?"... his reply is "I don't like your attitude"

I just know yoou couldn't be arsed to do the search yourself, so here it is...

http://www.angelfire.com/oh/quotations/ ... ronin.html

Sam: Two shooters, car comes through here, shooters across from each other kill each other dead. Oh my? Where'd you learn that? Heh??
Spence: In a Regiment.
Sam: What Regiment was that?
Spence: The 22nd Special Air Service.
Sam: What's the color of the boathouse at Hereford? What's the color of the boathouse at Hereford?!
Spence: I don't like your attitude.
Sam: What's the color of the boathouse...
Spence: Oh f@#k OFF!
Sam: What's...You got the gun. I'm unarmed. Do something. Go ahead, do something. Do something!
