Royal Marines - mission Afganistan
« on: 08 February 2012, 11:00 »
Anyone watching it? Episode 2 last night, gives you a real insight into what actually goes on over there.

Those guys have my utmost respect and admiration, I wouldn't have the courage to put my life on the line like that

Bit sad at the end though  :sad:

One thing I have always said about the Marines is how smart they look, they are always immaculate, from top to bottom including their berets. They don't ever seem to big time' the way the RAF Regt and Para's do either...
Mk3 Golf Gti:Full Milltek system and Decat,K&N filter,mk2 Cam,-1.5 degree camber shims, borbet a's, toyo proxies,hot tuning coils, brembo vented discs, greenstuff pads...Soon to have Eaton Power

mk3 16v 5dr Gti,mintex extreme pads,drilled/grooved discs,lowered,cat back powerflow system,omp panel filter with modified airbox,debadged grill, started prep for spraying, lots to come :D

My bro is one of the later episodes  :smiley: , I'm sure he is on the forum some where!

Really good programme, I enjoy any sort of documentary like that. So much respect for the RM's also, ridiculous amount of training/skill/patience in all of their day to day job.
The geezer who is doing the presenting, forgotten his name, he's pretty nails aswell. Only guy to get a honorary green beret!
