Must have been a nice posting for them. I wonder if the Marines were in hotels and on rates?

Hey Nutty, enjoyed your post about the rope! Not at all far from the truth.

when I first joined the airborne world there was an on going dispute between two companies over the IPR of said rope. It consumed a great deal of effort diverting us away from more important stuff. the matter was only resolved when the two companies merged. probably the most expensive bit of rope in the UK inventory. Unless someone knows differently.

The US Marines have a long connection to Disneyland....and have embraced the Mickey Mouse Club as a partner organization.

Back when didn't some thief nick a suitcase from Reading Station, got it home and found it was an IRA bomb.......... seem to remember he pitched it into the garden and called the law - who "decided not to prosecute..."

Imagine if he'd picked the wrong rucksack............ not that you'd notice if half Reading went up in a bright flash I guess.................
