Who is ready for Combat Patrol this weekend?
Pathfinder Platoon:
(Bear with the Brigadier at the beginning, interviewed in Laskar Gah, Helmand)
And here is another video documentary, from “back in the day” in the 90’s:
Till Valhalla!
Live Hard.
Die Free.

Ok Max- off topic question of the day.
What’s with the little micro-boonie hats?
Like all the Pathfinder guys are wearing in the group shot, and I think you’re wearing in some pics.
Is this like some specifically British piece of gear seeing as how I’ve never seen it aside from around here and in the videos you post?Or is it kind of like special-unit specific headwear?
Just curious, because I used to have one like that, from my Grandpa- it was his fishing hat- and since it disappeared many years back, I’ve never seen another.
I kind of dig it because it looks a little less floppy and huge (and annoying… lol) than a regular boonie.
It’s evidence of the real tacticool. Only Paras can pull it off. It’s called being ‘ally’, which has no meaning to your average civvy or ‘hat’. Its a set of ally belt kit, a baggy smock, a racing spoon, a whole world of pride in gear that really works that the tacticoolers and the rest will never understand
