    In my experience you’ll never meet a bunch of more respectable lads, especially as a woman. I had to treat their minor injuries and fractures as a civilian overseas and wow, I’ve never been treated with such respect from anyone ever. Their parents should be extremely proud of these young lads.

      They haven't been tainted by the influence of the "civilized" world to a greater extent. And their civility shows. It's the products of the "civilized" world that no longer feel the need to be or act or learn the need to to be polite. This is due to the nature of where and who they grew up with and parented them. They HONOR disciple, and their lethality, with a Humble, but ready frame of mind, They are less likely, actually, to debase their women and assault their children, until you start to reach into the upper echelons of society. It's because they truly realize and understand the value of the human being. It's also the attraction for foreigners to go "native", they wish to live in a world where living the ethics of right and wrong is more well defined and looked upon more as a character credit than a fools errand. I wouldn't mess with any of them; unless I had a horrific, terminal illness to exploit it with.

      I came back from Falklands (1982 but the war had finished) on the SS Uganda with a company of Gurkhas. I’d worked a lot with Gurkhas in mortar concentrations. And knew a little bit of their culture (never wash the wooden spoon!). But on the Uganda (a converted educational ship for kids so everything was small). The Gurkha lads would shower in 2s and 3s in the tiny cubicles. Just a different culture. They didn’t drink either so we got their tins of beer. They also caught trigger fish of Ascension and ate them. Working with these remarkable, smart, proud lads is a privilege.

      But Gurkhas and Royal Marines Commandos once had been ashamed by 3 infiltrators from KKO ( Indonesian Marine Corps Soldier) in Ganyang Malaysia Operation when Macdonald House ( South East Asian HSBC office ) could be blown up with bombs by only three KKO soldiers. In fact at that time Singapore were stritcly guarded by Gurkha and Royal Marines Commandos. It can be understood until Now, why Gurkha and Royal Marines Commandos never do joint training with Indonesian Corps Marine ( Korps Marinir Indonesia ). Only Korps Marinir Indonesia has long range strong and extra ordinary swimmers and divers can do long range infiltration by sea for at least 40 Km or at least 25 miles without stopping. We usually call it " Renang Selat Sunda or Sunda Straits swim ". Can Gurkhas and Royal Marines Commandos do it? I still doubt they can do it as well.

    If you ever meet a Civ Gurkha the are calm, polite and respectful....but deep down we all know just how impressive and devastating a force they are.

    In the 1990's a Gurkha Company was on exercise at the Puckapunyal Range in Victoria Australia.
    I was in RAEME (Royal Australian Electrical Mechanical Engineers) and when out on the range area on a job, my Corporal and myself came across some of the Gurkhas who were with one of their support vehicles (a borrowed Australian Land Rover) that had broken down.
    We quickly got their vehicle repaired and operational again and went on our way.
    I don't how they found us, but a few days later we were greeted by a couple of Gurkha's with their Official Exercise polo shirts to present to us as thanks for assisting them.
    Great blokes and very tough soldiers.

    These guys go through a huge selection process just to be selected from the overwhelming number of young men desperate for the privilege, income, and other enormous benefits, of the Ghurka position. Their training and physical abilities would make them naturals for SO training.

    I have mates in the ADF who told me about the Gurkha years ago, they're genuinely venerated amongst professional solders like few others. Hardly surprising TBH, when you have guys like Dipprasad Pun (who took out 30 or more Taliban by himself) in your ranks - that evolves to legendary status pretty quickly.
    It also makes me grateful to Joanna Lumley for campaigning to ensure these guys had proper rights to retire to the UK if they wanted to, it was bizarre to me that they previously couldn't especially given that they'd served so remarkably in the defence of the country. This is historic tie that we should preserve and protect at all times.
    I genuinely pity an enemy who ever sees Gurkhas heading towards their trench... better hope your next life works out better than this one.

    I remember a story my grandad used to tell me on occasion about my great-uncle Arthur. During WW2 he was captured and tortured by the Japanese forces who were assaulting Burma at the time, after spending months in captivity (starved and beaten) he was eventually rescued by Gurkha commandos. He said that Arthur had never seen such a professional and daring group of soldiers in all his life, they essentially nursed him back to life in the middle of the forest until he was fit to travel back to where allied forces were situated. Arthur used to say that that despite being mountain people, they could adapt to and survive in practically any environment. He used to talk about how they would be able to tell which side you belonged to based upon how your shoelaces were tied, and "god help you if they weren't tied the way they preferred" is something he used to say a lot.

Außerdem gibt es bei der Truppe noch Ehre , was mehr als selten ist in einer Armee. Thx for your Service Fellows .Was ich so nicht wusste ist das sie die AUG haben [oh lag falsch , das sind die AUSIS wie wir sie nannten ), dachte immer das SR80 sein die StanWaffe.Mein Arbeitswerkzeug war der 120mm Mörser für 8 Jahre beim Bund , 89-97.THX to the CO for the nice Words , you dont get these Words not often from an CO , like he said it you can see it in his Face that this is real what he sayd and not only from Paper coming .
