BOOK IS BY BARRY DAVIS ,

[Martin Scott]

Barry Davies a very very switched on Welshman. I had the pleasure to meet him once at a book signing,hes ex 22 himself CSM I think.

[st george]

Barry Davies joined the welsh guards at 17 and after 4 years passed selection in to the sas where he did 18 years service which he was involved in action in the middle east including the Oman war and fought in jungles of both south east Asia and south Americana. Towards the end of his career, he worked alone in the bandit country of Northern Ireland he was also a major player in the rescue of 92 people from the Lufthansa 737 hijack at Mogadishu where the Germans stormed the aircraft, killing three of the four terrorists while freeing all the remaining hostages. For his actions the queen awarded him the British Empire Medal

[Coinnach]

George, bought the book yesterday on Amazon.com for $5.99 based on your recommendation of the training regimen

[st george]

Coinnach' you will not regret it ,read the book get your head around it, get your self sorted, switched on and kick off ,

UTRINQUE PARATUS

[Mise]

Lads, there's an old Irish army saying (prob in every army) PAPER NEVER REFUSED INK. You will never know how you will react until you are in the situation.

[Coinnach]

Bought the book on George's recommendation - he used this book to help with his physical training preparations. I'll use something that worked for someone else.

[st george]

Remembering that you can read as much as you like, but it is the doing that get results
This book is a excellent guide to sas selection fitness, map reading and what soldiering is all about , if I tell you to tab it with a 30 lbs weight in your back pack go for it and you find that is to easy , then add weight and keep going star at 3k runs , next time 3.5 and so on etc etc etc don’t wait for someone to tell you what’s next use your self drive and bang it out , you now have the information to get your self up to proficiency and above

Ten miles in one hour and 45 minutes carrying 20 kg a seven mile run over the welsh mountains, helping to carry a 75 kg stretcher these are just two events of p’ company
This is what a Para (tom) will do in selection for the Paras . What I am saying is that you must be ready for selection before you join any army or you simply won’t make it
Now you have the tools you have the information as I said before the rest is now up to you
SO IS THIS BOOK GOOD....HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IN ..NOW

Yep yer right there st george..you forgot to mention the dreaded trainasium (straight pass or fail event) when i did my p'coy i was shitin it that much on the shuffle bars the PTI made me go backwards on them, and then start again when i got to the other side it cured me some of my fear of hights.

Also i needed a change of underwear as well.....

[st george]

Trainasium didn’t give me much bother , even thou its 20 m in spots , but that first balloon jump at 800 ft had me shaken the cage something bloody awfull and wasn't help maters with everyone staring up at you waiting to see if you make strawberry jam .

[pegasus]

Bloody ell yer...memories start flooding back :eek: first balloon for me was erm interesting, guy no 1 didn't jump clear of the cage back of his chute hit the cage floor and tipped the cage downwards everybody held on tight to anything they could, as you do.:D :D :cool:

[st george]

Coinnach , so what’s the verdict on the book then , are you giving it the business ?

[Coinnach]

Hey George, just started it, have read a couple of chapters - great so far I like his style of writing. My training has been curtailed a little due to a fractured toe, argument with a lamp-post on Paddy's night - guess who won!

[st george]

Coinnach, in my day you would be on a charge for disgracing the uniform on account that the liamp-post won and it was not sent to the infirmary with more destined damage then you ! and I aren’t joking

[Coinnach]

Well problem is George, can't fecking remember which lamp-post it was otherwise I'd get him. He got in a few lucky shots and was sober. A poor excuse but I am sticking to it!

[st george]

Then you have no choice but head out to the same area and take out every lamp post until one confesses and offers you a return fair fight !

[Coinnach]

Roger that! Will do so when I work out exactly where I was and how I got there.

Inanimate objects will always f**k you over. Either they break, mostly making you feel satisied for about 10 seconds, then regretting it as you have to pay for them or leg it(depends),or they break you, making you carry that regret around in the form of soreness.

[serge]
