    I can tell you he excels at everything he puts his mind to, you don't leave school at 15 and end up as a Colonel without having a certain something about you.

    He's been a gymnast, played footy for his Regt, boxed to a decent standard, played hooker for the army, Bomb disposal expert, a demolition diver, a badged Commando and Paratrooper.

    You could say he's a bit better than me...at just about everything, he's what's known as a "Gladiator" in Army terminology.

    It's sickening, he was a Junior RSM at 17, in charge of 1000 soldiers, obviously won best recruit.

    Imagine trying to live up to that? <laugh>

    Junior leaders were at Folkestone, I did a POP there about 1981, lots of junior nco's walking about like they owned the place.

    I used to regularly beat Mitch at War of the Worlds online under the pseudonym "your_voice_is_higher_pitched_than_russ_1967"

    He didn't like it one bit <rofl>
