You don't have the security clearance for me to answer that question. Many apologies, mate.

Just kidding ... no service here but I've read lots of Tom Clancy!

South African Army, infantry, back in the mid '70's before things really heated up in SWA (God sy dank).

I tried to volunteer with every other man in the Southern Cross Club after 11/09/2001 and was told we were too old.

I've served as a volunteer ... 2 years as a Trooper in the Royal Hong Kong Regiment (recce regt.), 10 years in the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force (ending up as Flt. Lt.). Of course, that was when I was much younger http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Nowadays I get my adrenalin rush from SPMBT and SPWW2.

Did my duty in the Swedish armoured forces in 1993/94 as a commanding officer over ATGM-team.

The company I where in was a test company, which was testing vehicles like Leo-2A4/A5 (strv-121/122), Strf-90, T-80U, M1A1 and Leclerc.

Did get also a short education on the Swedish centurion tank (104) and the famous "S" tank (Strv-103).

I'm surprised that soo many of you are in the combat arms considering 50% of the people in the army do rear-area stuff. Or maybe it's just because WinSPMBT dosen't appeal to logisitics managers and tank maintenance people.

Very interesting that you were in a test company, Niklas.
