books?

when you say he is into Army/SAS is that modern day, or is he interested in WW1 and WW2?

meant to say........look up army surplus on Ebay, there will be loads of stuff on there. i have to keep dp away from it!

What about a Leatherman Multitool? Or Gerber ones are a bit cheaper. I just bought one of these for my DH.

I don't know where you are in the world but if you are ever in Surrey, I saw this in a magazine.

Or maybe dvd box set of
The Ultimate Force
The Unit
(I have gotten really sucked in to the Unit series)

sorry been out for the day so not had chance to reply.

hes interested in modern army,like SAS and how they operate,he has watched the storming of the iranian embassey and how they plan their tactics,he is reading Andy Mcnab at the moment,i did think about getting him some camoflage trousers (but that would be more for my benefit hahahahaha).

He watches Ultimate force and the reruns,and stuff like who dares wins.

TIA

A recruitment appointment

wideratthehips · 28/11/2008 14:05

yes say you have booked him in for a little chat!

i'm sure you can do mad things like tank racing up and down hills...

ummm being ex army myself you could buy him a shovel and a plastic sheet and get him to dig a hole in the ground that he has to live in for three days with the plastic over him to keep out the wet...sorry thats not helpful.

what about this website here
