Training is where the Anglo militaries have the world beat

208.219.14.2

The Marines (US) I trained with (Nuclear Weapons Security Detachment) as well as the SBS (UK) guys I got to observe showed me first hand that the Brits/Aussie/Yank/Kanooks really know how to train their troops and this shows in most 20th century conflicts.

I know what you mean about militaty accuracy in films. Prior to Crimson Tide, the most technically accurate submarine film was Operation Pettycoat. Crimson Tide changed that however and was dead on as far as the sets were configured and especially the 'jargon' that was used. The missle commands that were batted back and forth were the real thing. My guess is that since this film was made post cold war, many of these commands have been declassified.

Thanks,
Rob
