Hi Jethro

Welcome to the board hope you find it useful.

Have made an edit to make your post more appealing hope that is OK.

Join in some threads on fitness as you like

Sorry, i got it wrong, It was Berkshire and Westminster Dragoons, very high class, loads of posh ruperts, does it still exist?

You were in 10coy for one month?

How long were you in 21 for?

Hi Spooky, i was in HQ sqdn for a few years.
Were u in 21?
If u want i can mention a bit about some exercises or overseas training that maybe help u remember.

i was regimental medical assistant and there were 2 M.O's, one had a surname beginning with F, the others surname began with a V.
Just in case u think i'm a walter
The CO was a guy whose name ended in s, he was seconded from 22

And the boathouse and the garage were the sameplace with a blue door!!!!!, the boats were canoes used for Devises to westminster race, usually a competition between sas and sbs crews, and this stuffs not in any book

Cheers

ease springs you said

I think he might of, not I though, I would'nt know if you were telling the truth or not.

Anyway welcome to the forum and what you doing in China

Oh not not another, "Is he OK or not" thread..... Anyway time will tell as I am sure of the more experienced members will chip in!

easy answer, if u wanna check me out ask any question about 21 1971- 73 and as long as it doesnt reveal anything sensitive i will answer, can't get more honest than that.anyway i got nothing to prove, its just another ta unit, why pretend?
if i said i was ex mobile bath unit would u still doubt it?
they also do a vital role

I just came on here to find ex mates, would a walter do that, he'd be sussed in a moment
If i get too much grief i will just piss off, too old for any hassle
Doesn't anyone take peoples word anymore?

I take your word for it, like I said I would'nt know if your gen or what anyway. Anyway what you doing nowdays, working in China. Always wanted to go to China

As soon as anyone mentions that they have ever been in or a part of anything to do with SAS or any SF, loads of people will automatically assume you are a Walter because - "If you were SAS you would never tell anybody, etc. etc." (load of rubbish).

If I were to ever make it to SF (I don't know what you are and aren't allowed to say) I would want to tell everyone, not in a showing off kind of way or to say, "look at how hard I am", but I would be so proud of myself for passing selection and training.

I wouldn't worry about what people think (I'm sure you don't anyway), you've got nothing to prove to those people.

Thanks guys!
I'm in Taiwan, Republic of China working in my wife's company.She's Chinese
I don't get why people doubt ex SF , there's thousands of us who were in 22, 21 or 23 over the years
I don't claim to be some killer ninja, i was a medic
I just came here to find old mates, and give idea of what 21 was like in the 70's
Anyway, nice to chat to you

Its just a stigma attatched to the regiment i suppose. Theyre all superhuman ninjas.

A year ago, the brother of a person i know died of heat exhaustion whilst on exercise in oman. He was in 22 SAS and was out a run. He collapsed and died of organ failure around 9 days later. Only a few weeks ago did people start believing what he actually did when it was in the paper that the SAS had carried out an investigation and had found the death to be accidental.

theyre super and theyre human, but sadly theyre not superhuman.

No no, I've never been with 21, might try and get on Black Serpent later, being RAMC myself.
