My dream fantasy has always been to try out for the English SAS

Bravo Two Zero were SAS doing some of that "sneaky" stuff you like to tell us that you are so great at, the problem is that their packs weighed 209 pounds at the start of the mission and I can guarantee you that they left things behind that they dearly would have loved to take with them on the mission, like more ammo.

At 110 pounds, I doubt that you could have handled your 209 pound share of the gear.

Too true. One of my favorite authors on the SAS is Andy McNab. I’ve read four of his books. He told how it was going through SAS training. I’ve tried some of it up in our woods like map reading and finding my way, camping out overnight and stuff. Heck with that hand to hand.
