this is the guy who thinks that marines are tough because they do their proper job properly, but at the same time they aint tough because a couple of them, once upon a time, wouldn't jump out of a perfectly seviceable aeroplane.

I used to work with a Marine and can confirm that he was pretty tough - he was built like the outside lavRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Bit off topic but did anyone watch the prog about the 55year old who completed the Marines course... pretty impressiveHow fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment

No actually he wasn't. He moved from the Marines and taught himself enough to go contracting in IT. So I would say that puts him on a par with the rest of us. Last time I spoke to him he had gone permie and was managing the biggest support team for a FTSE listed comapny. So I guess he did ok.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

He didn't complete the 'Marines course' as in the 32 week training at CTC. He merely picked the bits that he wanted to do, as in a few of the Commando tests.Originally posted by Troll View Post
Any reasonably fit person can pass those on their day (and he had two attempts at a couple of them). The hard bit is gibbering your bollocks off on Woodbury Common for a week in January - this bit funnily enough he didn't attempt. He clearly was not robust enough to do more than a day at a time - he was falling apart on TV.
Fair enough for an old boy to do it as a TV spectacle - but it's not the miracle attempt that has since been claimed. /RantComment
