£750,000 cost of kilts for new regiment soldiers

[Mike n NC]

Elite forces and their little mottos always tickled me. Yep we had ours also, "Death From Below" (submarine service). Then there is "Death From Above" (Airborn) and "Death From Afar" (Marine sniper) but the most frightening one I ever encountered and the one that will nearly make a grown man cry out for salvation... "Death From Within" (military mess halls). :-P

the crane crew where I work used to have their own t-shirts with the "death from above" motto, I don't think they were removed out of respect for the Airborne.

Military mess halls are magical places. The very best raw materials go in and what comes out is inedible. It's pure magic.
