Surprised they didn't plasti-cuff and sandbag you too

Maybe they did, which is why he looks as far removed from a squaddie as he can nowadays.

Yeah, they used to give me lifts too, especially if I was hitching in an OG boiler suit.

hahahah, amazing the number of the ex SAS you find when in ex dress innit? I was in the army and long after I cam out someone knicked my covvies of the washing line. A good friend still in, 3RTR got me a couple of pairs of the black Tankie covies. As I was underneath the car this guy approached me and started banging on about his time in the "rgmnt".

"Where were you based mate?" I asked

"Oh all over, not alowed to say, official seccrets act and all that" he replies....

"oh yeah, thats a right bu%%er isn't it?" I said and walked off.

As has bee nsaid. Biggest rgmnt in the world.

Oh, that brought back some memories! Rucksack'n'Rifle, Wrexham sometine in the eighties

That's where I got mine, No NSN, ISBN, name, rank, or serial number, but full of all the things an impressionable teenager needed at that time!

any idea what date this manual came about, so far im led to believe 1960s, as there is a joint service manual thats classified , but is mentioned in the us army survival evasion and escape manual which is dated dated 1966

If you look at the chapter on wild food, In the bit about plants, it says that its hoped to be be able to get illustrated handbook on on plants finished by the end of 1967, so i reckon your 1966 sounds about right
