@19thSFGA You're a fantasist.

People big, indiscreet mouths, and a severe deficit of intellect are not allowed into special forces.

If you were an officer or in any unit of consequence, you would have the attitude of mutual respect and camaraderie that I know all officers of the US, British and Australian services have for each other.

And your comment is quite funny, considering the US Navy actually *does* send SSN commanders to do the Perisher course.

@PosthumousAddress Shut up idiot How on earth do you talk other fags into letting you blow them with a mouth full of rotten teeth.Ive worked with the SAS and the Royal Marines theres been a war for ten years now asshole what did you do ? Oh yea thats right you stayed home and ate !

@19thSFGA I'm assuming you aren't in the services, or if you are, you're national guard or englisted in a catering regiment.

Amongst the officer classes, navies and air forces and special forces of Britain, the US and Australia, there is a healthy respect for each other's relative strengths and camaraderie as fellow soldiers; something you clearly don't and never could understand.

hmm...David Lister (the gentlemen with the nickname "tiny"; was the name of the main character in "Red Dwarf" round about the same time early late 80's to late 90's...lol. the last thing red dwarf lister wanted was a command of his own...I wonder if he ever heard of him?

I saw this series when I was a kid. It was great! Thanks for uploading. I was in the RN for a short time. If I'd stayed in longer I'd have been in Boats for sure! I'm not sure I'd have ever got through the Perisher though and been any good as a captain.

Do not even bother answering people like these. Anybody who has learned a little history over the years knows about the British Navy's history and worldwide importance even to-date!

That McClaren was the Nav officer on Revenge( Port) with me back in the dark days and he was a complete prick and no one liked him and it was great to see him fail !!

@19thSFGA are you a submarine expert ? i bet your only here because you wanted to see something long , hard and full of semen. Sorry to disappoint you . Typical American arrogance . Did u know that in one exercsise, The USS Saratoga took a launch code to be real , loaded a live Sea Sparrow, then fired it at a Turkish warship, resulting in the deaths of quite a sailors on the bridge decking.(TCG Muavenet incident) . So you can eat shit and die

I served aboard a warship. Among the sailors was widely believed that the service on a submarine is the heaviest
