Rogue Heroes

Because if the support people wear tan berets, how can we tell who the  real SOF folks are?

The Assaulter badge?

We can't even standardize the tan berets. Army wears tan beret in DEU, while RCN/RCAF can't. I can't remember if RCN/RCAF MPs can wear their red beret in DEU.

If CANSOF is a separate L1, then have all mbrs wear the tan beret with whatever DEU they have. Or have everyone in the CANSOF DEU.

Dealing with CANSOF supporters can be a real test of patience. Anyone who does so successfully should get their own badge.

Controversial take: only folks in hard CANSOF occupations should wear multicam.

That means no officers .

Them circa 2012 Jamaica: "I can't tell you what I do, it's SSSUUUPPPEERRRRR secret!"

Me: "Nice CANEX wrist watch cover, nerd!" As I sip down my rum and coke at the local night club 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Whoever unironically has a CADPAT watch cover should not be listened to.

Took the words out of my mouth.

Absolutely in agreement.

It’s one of the clearest signs of total, mind-bending institutionalization.

Which sounds amazingly like the comments on boarding parties in the RCN V1 boatswain TG docs.

For historical reference (turns out it wasn't the Boatswain trade ref, but the killick and up manual).

Or a sign that someone is on QL2 and feels hard AF… 😉

Same thing

If they have the CADPAT wallet, and wear their DEU belt and oxfords with civies, it's all over.

What do you have against staff LCols in NDHQ?

 

[RangerRay]

If they have the CADPAT wallet, and wear their DEU belt and oxfords with civies, it's all over.

Or at least till they get bitch-slapped by reality.

I remember a young gunner losing a camo wallet in the field with $300 in it, we never did find it.

"Who lost this wallet with $150 in it?"

That's his story and he's sticking to it 🤣 !

The money or the wallet ?

Dead on... the awful Ulster accent alone is worthy of a lawsuit.

But that's never stopped the BBC in the past...

BBC does one of greatest war heroes - Blair Mayne - a 'massive injustice' in SAS: Rogue Heroes​

A Northern Ireland museum curator believes SAS Rogue Heroes – the BBC drama based on real events – has done one of the country’s greatest war heroes a massive injustice.

David McCallion who runs War Years Remembered said the six part series exploring the origins of the SAS, co-founded by Ulsterman Robert Blair ‘Paddy’ Mayne, was “entertainment not education”.

David said: “Yes it’s a drama but I feel that it was a wasted opportunity to highlight the real men behind the SAS as well as Blair Mayne, rather than the fiction written by certain authors in the past.

“It has done one of the greatest war heroes to leave our isles and his family a massive injustice.”
