the hardest elite inantry course in the world......

This book covers the last two weeks of the hardest infantry course in the western world. 6 months ( withou injury ) and then a week in the field immediately followed by a series of combat fitness tests. THe text accuratly covers what happens near the end of training for those who chose to be a bootneck and those who want to earn the covetted Green Beret and return to their home units to work alongside bootnecks in the field. I been to lympstone ( where recruit training is undertaken ) - the only thing missng is this book are the three hour PT 'beastings' on the assault course and the warmups prior to attacking any physical challenge. ( NB. All commando tests are carried out in BOOTS and with weighted webbing 22lbs min + weapon ) Excellent.
