Now, from someone who joined (in part) because of the frank ads.
Thats a pretty slick video, in fact wouldnt be suprised if it was a pro job by the media gurus.
How an anyone say they havent done at least some of the stuff depicted?
Yes the army can sometimes be a bit A#se but at the end of the day you only get the good bits if you take the sh#t as well.
Loads of guys who get offered adv training or sports courses cant be bothered , when I helped run the ski team at my last unit I had to beg guys to come away on 2 weeks skiing in Austria, cost to them- 200 euros, all in except beer money.
so no its not all adv trg and abseiling out of choppers, but then, if you want to I'm sure the paras need some volunteers!!
And as to wanting to come home from tour, I like to think I'm keen, but everyone thinks Iraq's a dump and cant wait to get back!
