Blackbriar 8,569 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I known a few Para's and Royal Marines over the years (still do !), but I've met many more who make claims to it.......... I reckon you can spot the genuine article just by looking at him. It's difficult to describe, but I'd best call it "a dangerous glint in their eye" - they have a look about them and a general bearing that says "been there, done that, lived to tell the story". And the fact that they look like you couldn't hurt them with an axe ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
air gun ant 1,666 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 My missus has a twinkle in her eye for the senior instructor on the programme. Think his name's Ant.

Oh, hang on........ i'll send her an autograph 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,763 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 There was a fella on here a year or two back that tried to claim he was a Royal and served in the Falklands. Claimed he was in 33Cdo or some such non existent Commando unit. Either Socks, Deerman or Stiffy called him on it. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even some of the non soldiers who knew their history were able to trip him up if I remember rightly. I was half way through a book about the conflict at the time if I remember and knew a bit about 3Cdo. So I searched for this phantom commando unit as I was quite surprised/suspicious that I hadn't heard of it. I didn't say owt as it wasn't my place being non military. If I remember he managed to dream up a unit that was never even in existence during WWII when there were dozens of commando units! LOL. Either that or I had to go back as far as that to find it. The fellas user name has come to me but I'll keep it to myself in case I'm wrong.... And no, he fecked off in a huff after that. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
