Celeb
Yes I am familiar wit OPSEC but I have no ideae of dates etc etc., Is it the FULL 6 month deployment or is this 'flexible' ? I am particularly interested in 23 SAS TAVR. Any ideas ?

Celeb,

Sorry. what I meant to say was that I am not requiring anything specific that would breach OPSEC, just whether they where there or not. I have no need to know exactly where.

By the way., heard a WALT talking about receiving the sword of honour a few months back, would have loved to prove him wrong but , again, could find no references.

Had some training off some ta sas a few years ago said a few of them had been out and also a lot had taken a leave of absence and gone out as
private security made lots of money and then come back .Like all things
sas its a need to know basis.
