But if you think about when you...

Well, in Steven and my case, leaving Lympstone, or in your case, leaving Sandhurst, what you had was something good enough to get you through your first two years without making too much of a lemon of yourself, on the basis you would then continue to be trained and developed.

Mike Tanner, who was basically in charge of the Royal Marines at the time down in Lympstone in Devon, uh, and I just said, "Look, this is gonna sound so strange, but I need a, a pool for 48 hours.

You know, I can't go to the local leisure center.

Um, but Indian George, uh, told me a, a lovely story.

He went down to Lympstone, where the Marines are, and, uh, this, uh, he'd been invited down because, because he, uh, uh, can speak the languages- Really? ...

and he is well known in that North West Frontier, uh, uh- Area ... land.

He has been very much, uh, personal advice and has been used by Special Forces.

So he- Oh, wow ...

he was invited down to Lympstone, where the Marines are.

You know, the, the, the, the special boat people.

Um- SBS.
