{* quirks eyebrow *} SAS?


The SAS is the Special Air Service, they're the British Army's special forces and CT unit. They're the guys that Delta Force is based on. There are three different SAS units, one full time 22 SAS, and two part time Territorial Army (TA) Regiments 21, and 23. 22 SAS performs all the stuff that US Army Special Forces do, and handles the CT mission. The two TA regiments back up 22 SAS (providing fillers), and perform LRRP/deep recon missions for NATO.

There are also SAS units in Australia (Australian Special Air Service Regiment/SASR), and New Zealand (NZ Special Air Service Group). There was also a SAS unit in Rhodesia ("C" Squadron/Rhodesian Special Air Service).

The NZ and Rhodesian units were actually part of 22 SAS at one time (before the countries gained their independence), with Rhodesia compromising the unit's C Squadron (to this day they still don't have a new C-Squadron). The Aussies raised their SAS unit to fill the gap the Rhodesians had left when they got sent packing by the Brits (the Rhodesian SAS was an al white unit and had problems dealing with the locals in Malaysia). If you want some more detailed stuff I can start separate thread.

I know who the SAS are. I was asking if the person in question had served with them, as I had recognized the areas where he had seen action as matching up with areas that the SAS had seen notable action. But thank you anyway.

Every item used by all armed forces were at first designed and made by an Engineer. Therefore, Engineers "Lead the way." The items and machinery designed by Engineers, allows all forces to do their jobs very effectively.

I have the greatest respect for the armed services. My butt has been protected more than once by all so my Engineer Unit could do the job. :ok:

Air Force 1992-1997
AFSC 1C251 Combat Controller -- 320th STS, Kadena AB, Ryuku, Okinawa
AFSC 2A353A Tactical Aircraft Maintenance Specialist (F15E) -- 90th FS, Elmendorf AFB, AK

I joined the military to be Snake Eyes. I quit the career of a lifetime (1C2X1)for a girl and then got left. But, hey, the Strike Eagle was one BAD@$$ ship and Eagle Keeper (2A3X3A) wasn't so bad. So, I guess, I couldn't have asked for a better cross-train.

I got out of the service in '97 and have been a student/bartender ever since. I am a Philosopher (BA in Philosophy/Psychology) and I am taking Masters classes now. I hope to teach Philosophy and History at the college-level soon. (Most of the best known Philosophers in history were soldiers before and after their writings. Living through combat teaches you something about life that just living never does.)

As for family history: Great Grandfather - Pilot Army Signal Corps (WWI); Grandfather - AAC & Air Force Radar Operator (WWII & Korea); Father - Photoreconnaissance Maintenance Technician (Vietnam). I come from an Air Force family all the way!

If you mean S.E.R.E, there are different levels of SERE training. I'm not sure about what the other branches are doing, but the Army is requiring everyone to receive at least a basic (and I do mean BASIC) level of SERE instruction before deploying to the CENTCOM AOR (Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait) and the Horn of Africa.

SERE was definitely required for my job.

I seem to remember being on mission and watching the Marines stumble in after I'd been there for several weeks sometimes. On yet another note, a big brother of mine was one of the first on the ground in Afghanistan. He helped set up the airfield for the Marines from what I'm told. Sorry, leathernecks. First there that others may live; any time, any place.

not basic SERES you do with everyone else at your unit

What a small world. I just met someone from the 82nd, posted at Bragg in '89. He tells a pretty good story of a drop into Panama, too. Wonder if he knew your father.


I made the jump in to Panama with the 82nd. Got my Purple Heart hanging under the 'chute before I hit the ground. Threw a claymore mine into a building full of PDF and set it off, since I didn't have any grenades. I guess the higher ups didn't trust us with them... I only had the one claymore... But it practically took down the building (or at least it seemed so at the time)! lol. Once I got patched up, I served at the 82nd Prisoner of War facility interrogating prisoners. Then I took over the Document Exploitation Center (going through enemy documents and such) and found Noriega's defense files in the Secret Police (DENI) files. He was already working on a 'defense case' in case we snatched him (much good it did him). Turned everything over to the Feds. Oh yeah, my team found his hideout in the jungle, but didn't have the manpower to take it, since security was so tight. Reported it to higher, and they were all "yeah, right... let's send another team to verify this." When they got there, Noriega was still there, and they were all "Holy ****!" So then they called in a platoon of grunts to get him. Once they got there, he had already flown the coup. I was hopping mad! We could have gotten that SOB early on if they would have believed us the first time we called it in.

Now, I want to try out that claymore trick! Sounds pretty nifty...

There are a few other tricks with claymore's I've heard about and used, but not that one...

And as for making yourself...while not really all that do-able in PB, have you tried the new version of Twilight2000 or the new (or old) version of BattleTech?

Anybody an 88C, 88K, 88L or an 880A or 881L?

These are watercraft MOS. I ran across the term "soldier-mariner" while digging into some WWII arcana. That lead to a claim that the US Army had more watercraft under its command in WWII that the Navy. (Depends on your definition of "watercraft.") That lead to the current Army vessels: some tugs, some landing craft, and some command ships. That lead to the MOS page.

Wiki-walks; they might just ruin your life.

And now I can't get the scene out of my head: a Coast Guard inland buoy tender and an Army tug cruising up and down the Mississippi, bickering and trying to maintain their craft and some semblance of law and order in a zombie apocalypse.
