...SAS also trains for all terrains including Oceanic Operations though they were the first too take out terrorists in ninja fashion in an urban setting on international tv...




Ok Bob be honest, how much ninja training did you receive?  No funny stuff!  And did you use said ninja skill set in awe inspiring fashion on international TV?  In an urban setting?  We need the truth!

...none. I did recieve a form of martial arts training [as was the norm], and I believe the idea of teaching this was just brought in as i came in [i.e. they weren't too fussy about it before]. A couple of the lads were into that sort of stuff, me not so much, I preferred to put faith in my short [in the event things got romantically close {which they never did}]. I tried to test my mettle against other blokes in the regiment, just buggering around milling really and often was my backside handed to me [the name horsfall rings a bell ]. As for being on TV [I assume you're referring to the embassy seige of fame and folklore?], I wasn't on TV, no, the macs were but not I. As for whether I was there or not, who knows?

You don't have to be in a sneaky-beaky unit to have a crack at ninja kick boxing et al, a lot of battalions have that sort of thing going.  The army offers all kinds of adventure training courses etc.

i've worked with the oppressive liberators before, yes. 'twas a wonderful location, one of those places you just want to go with a compass and get lost. We were doing a bit of indigenous assistance somewhere on the map . Great bunch of lads, and the assisting indigenous forces was right down their alley. I believe it was the 7th/devils brigade [so that'll give you a bit of an idea where on the map we were].

Awesome, just curious what your thoughts on them were. Ever worked with any other US forces, and if so, what are your thoughts?
 
All I could find on 7th was something about Vietnam, and Equador. So either SE Asia or South America?

Well i wasn't with the devils in asia, so that narrows it down a bit. I've had my fair share of holidays with a variety of US forces [what with having a 'desk' job and all].  I was always fond of the yanks [sorry for the laymans term], they fed me well, they impressed me, and they knew their stuff [taught me a thing or two]. regardless of the tripe people say about the US SF community, as a whole I consider them to uphold the highest degree of professionalism possible. one thing I must comment on the US forces is that they were the first to ask for and accept advice [there was none of this "we know it better than you" malarky].
