Fantastic, as always. Like you said Rusty, time. It is hard to believe the Iranian Embassy was forty years ago. I went down to London to see it about a week or s later. I could not believe there was no security outside. I have a photograph of me standing on the steps outside that my mate took. We went down the steps into a sort of basement yard and took photos through the window. Long live Khomeini had been scrawled on the wall inside. I still have those photo`s to this day. Thank you for your efforts Rusty.

I did the course in 1976, & manage to pass with my hands all covered in Woodbury Common disease (Scabs). Which was quite a common thing in those days.

Far out Rusty. You got the green one as well as the Sandy one. In fact a third although I don't know what color that is. That's some achievement in life. Stay safe. All the best. Mark (Jick)

Great story Rusty, fascinating life, great foundation for what you done later in your life. One question for you, was the 30 miler not part of the Commando test back then?

[@reggaerhodes862]

I think that only came in after the falklands

[@Realist-2506]

@rusty hi mate , I take it the 30miler was not part of the course back then ?

[@RustyFirminSASTV]

30 miler of course not hard though

[@bencruzar7135]

talks about going at a pace, speaks half a mile an hour, dragging out every fuckin word. regardless of its importance as a word.
