I can't post a picture, so the link (below) will have to do. I found my old gillie suit the other day, which would, I'm sure, still pass muster. As I said, I was quite pleased I had 't seen it for years!

In the right hands. It's not just the gear - it's guile, cunning, expertise and having the training and confidence to know you can succeed. Counter-surveillance, as I recall (and I will dig out my STANOC notes - well, actually, I won't) is the art not of becoming invisible, but remaining unrecognisable and undetectable.

A trip to SCRDE is the late 80s resulted in me being given a pair of goggles which reduced the heat signature from my face - at the time the threat then, envisaged that in 10 years everyone would have their own set of TI. It didn't happen, certainly not by the time I bowed out. But they meant well so I showed willing but I felt so detached and dislocated from the stalk they went straight in the bin.
