Those are great photos......:)

[I_hate_posers]

How are you guys liking your new body armor? We (Canada) were kinda hoping for some modular system, but our cold war, garrison driven military still believes in uniformity in the field, combat etc...anyways good pics, post more if you can!

[45commandorm]

thanks alot. ill post some more tonight and ill make them bigger

the underwater tunnel is called the sheepdip. it happens so fast and if u dont get through it you fail. so u dont really have time to be scared, its right at the start of the endurance course aswell, so you have to complete the other 5 miles -piss wet through

[Närskydd]

Welcome 45Commando!

Thouroughly enjoy the pics. More please!
Sorry for my ignorence, but is that the Brecon Beacon?

[Sabre]

Cheers mate. good phots.

You might have linked the wrong jobber when putting the thumbnails in. Would be good to see the high res.

@Närskydd: The first 'yomping' pic looks like Brecon. The others might be Dartmoor though. That's where a lot of RM 'yomping' goes on.

[BritSig]

Nice pics mate, cheers.

BritSig.

[spazzy]

Hi Mate!!

What Troop were you?

The 'underwater tunnel part' is known as the sheep dip. The clip shown on the advert is not a part of the endurance course, the sheep dip is an underwater concrete pipe less than 8 feet long that you are pushed/pulled through. There is nothing to ensnare you and the biggest danger is probably getting the water in your mouth, there is some pretty nasty **** in there.

[Mortarman]

Sweet pics mate! If you got more of them, post em!

[45commandorm]

Nice pics Bootneck!

That fort Scraesdon just out of interest? Down the road from Tregantle? Choppered in from Dartmoor..
Great place, one of our subbies charged into one of the rooms and promptly fell down a hole in the floor and broke his arm rofl

[AIRBORNEJOCK]

Cool pictures.

Yomp = tab/rucking? (Pardon my Yank vocab)

yomp like a tab only easier........had to get that one in good pics

[Royal]

yomp like a tab only easier

Tab - a cigarette smoked while loafing about without half your kit when any proper soldier would be closing with the enemy...

I had a tab once, made me cough, feel sick and I was too short of breath to finish it. I've not started another one since...

A Tab - a lesurly walk on the way to the Galley, for some Scran and then a visit to the Heads to ditch gash. Then perhaps a run ashore? Maybe a pint of Purple parachute (Scrumpy with a tot of Pusser Rum in it!)

INCOMMING !!!!!!!!!!! BRACE,BRACE,BRACE,

[Sabre]

You don't fancy an icers goffer to wash down that second duff?

[AIRBORNEJOCK]

we could also go for a wet out the saff jar...........hoofing hoofing

Aah, you give up far too easily. Tis a pitty there are no matelots in this thread. I have a great respect for the Transport section of the Royal Marines.

They take us
We take the ground
the Army police it once the shooting stops

hows the brass collecting in helmand heard you might have the 70% required after the 6 months....................easy,easy,easy!

[Stix@CTC]

I'm only just a little closer to Afgan than you are! I'm at the factory helping the conveyor belt of new Marines pass out.
The buzz is that the lads are in contact daily. Some heavy sh1t is going down.

[AIRBORNEJOCK]

[Echo300]

Of course! If you can't take a joke you shouldn't have joined up (now where have I heard that before?)

Marine, eh?
I've always wanted to be in a band... What instrument do you play then bootneck?

[EsoognomEhT]

You know, we were helping out on a cadet camp a couple of years ago now (eaaasy money!) and this instructor started talking to us about he'd been a Marine, spun us a few tales and what not, eventually turned out he'd been in the band!
