Hi guys.
I'm 19 and from the south west of England, currently doing my A-levels since I was too pig headed to do them at 16.
I'm training for the SAS reserve (although I plan on joining the Royal marine Commandos as an officer after uni) and hope to go for selection next winter once I've started uni, with this goal in mind I've spent the last year running the 4 miles in and out of college each day (much to the frustration of my lecturers and fellow students since I live in Cornwall and am usually covered in mud/seawater by the end of this) as well as running various power lifting based programs.
I discovered this site when I started military athlete (it's kicking my ass, loveing to hate it) and really like the mentality here. I hope to soak up as much info as possible to help with selection so if I ask dumb ass questions its curiosity, not ignorance ;)
I'm not sure if this is the right place to do it but I would like to request that if anybody's got any online field craft/basic skills manuals I'd really apreciate you mailing them to me as I'm starting selection with no military experience so need to learn as much as possible, navigation is a particularly weak skill for me at the moment (although I'm spending every other weekend on Dartmoor rucking in an attempt to improve, results have been mixed thus far, bogs have been involved :-/ ).
Beyond that all I can say is that I'm gaining more and more respect for American SOF and what they do with every day on this site and most certainly do not agree with the shit our media peddle about the American Military!
