Yea i figured. Lol In a previous life he must have been a pIrate

NSG can make sense. Its not a Para Only bastian. i know of other non Paras who have been through NSG. in the 90s a number of units crossed the LOC during the height of the troubles. He was Naik right?. Why would he go to the Paras and then RTU back to his original unit. Officers do that. the...

Exactly what i was coming to. post Kargil joining the Paras would have been damn near impossible just because of his age.

Just as a FYI in Lanka and Kargil he was with the Rajputana Rifles. Cant seem to find any mention of when he was with 10SF. He would have been quiet old when he passed selection. His kill count over his career is probably 100+

"Reconnaissance Company, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit " Yeah so most likely not Force Recon, must be Division Recon or Marine Recon.

Let me try and break it down The USMC has 2 SOF/SOC units - Force Recon and Radio Recon. For the longest time the marine corp with their "superiority complex" refused to join SOCOM saying they are better. GWOT made them miss a bunch of the budget of SOCOM so now they have created a new unit...

Nah man MARSOC Raiders & Force Recon Marines for the most part are similar to Navy Seals - They excel more in the Ground part of the warfare whereas Seals would excel more in the underwater part of warfare (specially insertion techniques with Subs etc) Still Class units to train with.

in NSG the minimum accuracy standards are kinda official. at any point your performance drops off you are out. Didnt realise it was 2002. So yea the Marine question still has a lot of ?? anyways have texted some people

Things to Consider 1. NSG would be at the periphery of our SOF capability as they have an extremely Niche Policing Mandate. So NSG doing it doesnt really move the needle on a real Sense IMO that being said- for NSG accuracy (being Hostage Rescue Oriented) is a basic requirement not an...

Some members here actually know soldiers and officers who served in Lanka other than abridged recounts in books and wiki We have already gone over this Lanka bit before havnt we a year or two ago??

Unofficial purchases (small numbers ) MAY show up in SG but not in the Paras ( which need Scale). Most likely HK USA is the most likely route if they have been bought in large quantities. Lastly any dominance HK may have had in quality now stands eroded for the most part. No real reason to...

I think have mentioned this before on this thread. Hosted by SG. Fantastic light infantry capability they demonstrated. An old timer I once spoke to said some of those Tamil boys were good enough to be in SG. If I am not wrong this is where we introduced Suicide Bombing to the world - SG - LTTE...

HK has to do with the German Govt ban on selling to countries with internal conflicts where the guns can be used on local populations. Bad look for their voting demographics (though turkey ironically skates past being a NATO member) The Belgians have no such compulsion

His visibility will definitely open doors to "unofficial" conversations for sure

This is my opinion ONLY - don't have the highest regard of the major for his military service. He served only 4-5 years if i remember correctly then went on to life as a Civvie - MBA / business etc. nothing against him personally but rather the depth of his Mil Career. He knows just enough to...

Whatever he is - he is obviously Official Cover and a known entity. So very little mirch masala IMO

Sand Colour Berets and Scooter helmets. THIS is old school.

Not soldiers - these are cops

Ahh Aso

in 19 when Delta was pretty much assaulting Downtown LA it was with Blackhawks and Little Birds and was covered by local news very extensively. (Flying Below the sky line that too) This TrainEx is hardly combat footage. anways everyone needs a little drama in life to get through the week i guess.
