      ​@Documentary Detective III Easiest route is to join the Royal Artillery first, British Army. Then ask for a posting to 29, this is based on you volunteering to undertake the Commando Course, once this is passed, you'll return to one of the Battery's within the Regt. Normally do a couple of years min then apply to go to 148 bty if you so wish. You'll also see the Regt has Royal Marines, Navy and RAF personel, these all have quals that integrate within the strike element, like boat coxswains or TACP

      @Michael Tite My complements to you, you are hard boiled. And how many go into the military for the “right” reasons? Pretty sure nothing has changed when it comes to avoiding a draft by instead selecting a service. Mine could’ve been the USMC- you’d find out after being drafted. Lousy job prospects and not an encouraging background? There’s another one. Bit of trouble on the outside? There’s another. No family? There’s another one. Great looking uniform (USMC dress blues), check! Our Special Forces recruit from within, same with Marine Recon, etc. While I was in, the largest drawdown in modern history occurred-so huge cuts were made. Our only son spent 7 combat tours as a Marine between Iraq and Afghanistan-going directly from one to the next without a break. So, there’s more to the selection process than they will challenge everything you take for granted. Congratulations Michael for being one of those special people. But I have friends who went into those for SF groups for the “wrong” reasons-and excelled. The ad is great recruiting material. How many will succeed? Not as many as would like to. Good on ya’.

      Also, engineering recce at the regimental level is fairly straightforward to understand, but when they're supporting the BRF of 3 Cdo Bgd, it gets a lot more interesting. Are they trained in all of the same insertion techniques that the BPT and these guys from 29 are? Do they do ML3 and or ML2? Will the rest of BRF take individual sappers on raids and/or can the whole troop conduct similar raids itself? What's the selection process for getting into the recce troop.

    Meiktila is as close to being ‘them’ as makes no difference. Between 148 and 4/73 there are some phenomenal soldiers. The ability to confidently and capably call in air, naval and artillery whilst under extreme stress is the difference between triumph and tragedy. Arma pacis fulcra.

What makes SF who they are is their position within the battle space and the the targets they’re given, that’s it. PF and 30 commando have the same role but attack from different angles, methods of insertion, once they’re in the ground the role is the same. 148 is an element of the surveillance and reconnaissance squadron of 30 commando, there are ML’s at 148

    Turkey is the most ready country in the world for one-on-one war experience. At least 8 million people have clashed with terrorism in the country since 1984. Real conflict in the mountains is not like in the movies. No training protects you in real conflict. You can't win if you don't know how to embrace death. As someone who spent a year in the mountains after studying at one of the world's leading commando schools. The first rule of success in conflict is to forget this world and do what you need to do calmly by embracing dying. War is not a PC game.
