It's that time again! This episode is labeled 'The Lost Patrol' and there is a bigger language warning thanks mostly to a special forces guy. I thought this episode was more fun to watch, the guys are shown joking around more, bonding. I so wish Royal was around because I know he would have so many great tidbits about the survival training!
1:44 ish - 'Oppo' is the military term for really good mate
3:30 ish - This does explain why Royal does not get all wussy at the thought of tampons. I hate guys that do that. I'll never forget the first time I came out to England to visit Royal after we met and stayed with his parents. He has a sister that's four years younger, so I guess she was about 15 then. She had not flushed the toilet after dealing with that issue and Royal had found it. He goes to the top of the stairs and yells in what I can only describe as a very mature adult way
"Alex! Alex you left a mess in the bathroom go clean it up"
And that was it, no whining, no complaining about 'women this and women that'. I love that man.
Part 2
3:00 ish - Royal Marines, like U.S. Marines are amazing. I absolutely know without a doubt that every Royal Marine Commando I know would go out and look for their mates, even if it meant missing two nights of sleep. Or more. I adore that about my husband.
6:24 ish - Aww. Royal tells a story of training in Norway and completely cuddlin' up to his snow cave buddy to sleep. No shame, you do what you have to. He works with that same guy now, and it's so funny when they decide to tell the story to others. Complete with acting it out. The other services make fun of the Commandos for being so friendly with each other, but they are so comfortable with themselves they really couldn't care less! It's the bond.
7:25 ish - That is awesome. "Yum yum yum!"
Part 3
1:42 ish - 'Tescos' is a grocery store and 'beef' means pansy, wussy, or gay.
5:26 ish - Every time Royal asks to be sent to Afghan, they tell him that there are so many Marines that want to go he has to wait his turn. That's sayin' something.
Good show, once again thanks for posting it.
