Some more.....

As Pioneers we have always had a great relationship with guy's from the 'Regiment' (SAS), and Siera Leone was no different. As part of our job is defence and artisan we build them a load of duckboards when the monsoon's came (thats an experience to behold all by itself). As a thanks they invited us over to there compound which was right next to the treeline of the Jungle. Believe me that is a great honour, not because they are stuck up their own arses but because they very much keep themselves to themselves (for obvious reasons)

Now our HQ was protected to the hilt once we had stuck up reinforced shell scrapes, triple consantena razer wire and two sangers. When we got to their compound there was one guy sat on a chair with a minammi on the floor next to him. He was wearing shorts, sunglasses and a jungle hat and was reading The Sun while puffing on a fag. As we approached our troop commander said to him "bloody hell mate, I was expecting your compound to be defended to the hilt!!" he lowered his paper and looked up at scouse, His answer will go down in history.

"Why?...................who's gonna fxcking attack us?"

They were a great bunch of lads and really appreciated our artisan work, they showed us around their compound (which I wont go into) and when we eventially flew home, they wouldn't fly with anyone else apart from the Pioneers. We have had much the same relationship with them on any tour I have been on.
I shall post more as and when it comes.
