Royal Marine and Army Commandos practice amphibious beach landings on July 14, 2010, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. HMS Ark Royal, the nation's strike carrier, is leading an international task group during exercise Auriga 2010 a joint US-British amphibious exercise in Onslow Bay, off the coast of North Carolina. Exercise AURIGA is part of a series of training exercises that will build on the UK's ability to conduct small scale focused intervention operations anywhere in the world, delivering amphibious forces supported by air power from the Joint Harrier force.

The Commando Memorial is a Category A listed monument in Scotland, dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during World War II. Situated around a mile from Spean Bridge village.
This beach is named after 7 soldiers who used to live here - according to the locals. Why they got here and what happened to them no one can say for sure.
The beach is of fine white sand and perfect for swimming and sunbathing. There were several boats here when we arrived - almost all were on the last leg of a day-long island-hopping tour. Since this beach is on the Palawan mainland and very close to El Nido town, it makes for the perfect last stop, especially with a shop on the island serving cold drinks, snacks and the local Halo-halo dessert.

It overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle. Unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother, it has become one of Scotland's best-known monuments.
Thanks for looking
Today is the anniversary of D-Day 6th June 1944. This memorial, near Spean Bridge, to the memory of those who volunteered to do arduous and dangerous tasks over and above the others who also fought for freedom from tyranny, is a place of quiet. Visitors from all over the world come here and take in the magnificent solitude and views while showing their respect to the sacrifice of servicemen who, if caught, were not treated under the terms of The Geneva Convention.
The free world owes an immense debt to the heroics and service of all such from all walks of life who not only represented their own country but also the others who defended the right to freedom.
The cost of such freedom from tyranny is always high and still tyranny exists.
It is a sad state of affairs that. after so much sacrifice, the world cannot seem to live together in peace and harmony.

EXERCISE GREEN DAGGER 19.1
Pictured: Jackals following an advance to contact on the Mojave Desert Training Area.
As part of their Force Generation process and wider preparation for Lead Commando Group, 45 Commando Royal Marines deployed to America during Exercise Green Dagger. The exercise involved Live Fire Tactical Training (LFTT) and a Force of Force (FEX) exercise with two United States Marine Corps (USMC) Battle Groups (BG), conducted on an impressively large village complex. During the exercise 45 Cdo were stationed at Camp Wilson, located on the Marine Air Ground Combat Centre, a huge training complex of approx 100 square kilometres in the Mojave Desert. It was a great opportunity for the Commandos to meet and train with their American counterparts.

Seen at Glasson Dock - a Norton Commando Fastback.
I think it is just a myth - I don't think the seat hump (or whatever its called) made it any faster ;-)
When I had been riding a few years I was considering buying one but when I went for a test ride I couldn't start it so bought a Suzuki GT750 instead!
Although I took an actual camera (not just a phone) and there was lots to photograph including plenty of bikes, I only took one photo all day. I think that we were too busy talking when we weren't on our bikes.

The last stop of our last day of island-hopping at Bacuit Bay, El Nido, Philippines. This beach is actually located on the mainland of El Nido.
The Commando Memorial, erected in 1952, is an A-listed monument to the men of the British Commando Forces of WWII who trained at nearby Archnacarry Castle, Spean Bridge, Scottish Highlands. The Commandos were established by Churchill after Dunkirk in June 1940. They are looking south towards Ben Nevis, the area shown in yesterday's photo, where they did their training.

Making potential standards. And these are just a few of my favorites.
I suppose each could be a different branch for EEC like (from left to right) Polish standard, winter Marine, winter standard, some sort of urban commando, heavy trooper and some other guy, but then I'd feel obligated to build at least 20 of each :P
Sorry for the bad pic.

It was too dark to shoot with hand holding.
Nicky Hayden's gone, I have no words.
Rest in Peace.

Ran into these guys in a parking garage. If it wasn't during SXSW I would've run the other way.

Commando Sgt. Weeper, command log:
“I have two wets on my 2, keep ‘em peeled for clankas.” Jorir was making his hard-line ARC trooper combat style known to us. He took his time adjusting to squad based operations but his dual DC-15’s, traditional kama and unique camouflage transitioned well to the commando gear. He appreciated the state of the art HUD and life support system but taking to a new style of combat takes far more getting used to. Such issues he took up were weapon specializing and heavy ordnance. He routinely remarked that “No one cog in the wheel should be more combustible than the rest.” I found his humor darkened by our first encounter in the void of space amidst the flotsam of his old cruiser, as if he was meant to be found in the dark.
“Copy,” I made the motion for Jorir and Bearer to rush under the door control balcony framed by the hydraulic support beams that ran into the towering rock. “Trando behind the canisters: 10 o’clock!” Jorir sent a rapid, suppressive salvo to cover for Bearer. This Trando was the same lizard we just failed to fry on the sniper’s ridge. Jorir missed, reaching the corner where the under balcony wall banked into the door of the Seppie base.
“Rapid entry going down,” Bearer started, “why won’t it stick?” The adhesive string explosives were delicate items. “Do we have-” Just as he offered up a request for extra thermal detonators, our re-supply crate dropped from the heavenly hands of the humming LAAT. Though we appropriately sent the ping, it couldn’t have arrived at a better time.
I motioned Pall to my side, “I’ll take the door security and you take out that Trando.”
“Copy sir,” We tapped our gauntlets together, a toast to our tidings of Republic glory. I swiftly swung my Westar into position, pre-aiming above the balcony. Up top, the Neimoidian and I nearly traded shots. With one bolt I nailed his chest. Pall rushed to the crate, dropped a knee and unceremoniously blasted the scaled xeno’s dome. “Clean,” he noted to himself.
Dust settled, breathing resumed to normal rates, and blasters cooled. The crate took a pelting from the Trando, and as it sizzled still, Pall and I swapped the jetpacks for standard commando backpacks. “Lucky our little gift didn’t go up,” Jorir stated regarding the holes plucked in the side of the re-supply.
Pall gestured to the sprouts in the rock, “Jaz trees, beautiful plants. Some of those darker flowers are only just maturing. The rest are still rather young. Shame we visit such wonderful planets like this just to blast some Seppie shebs.”
“Shame,” I concurred, peering up to admire the majesty of the fully grown jaz tree, resiliently withstanding the elegantly cut rock face and pristinely preserving tranquility amidst the charging advances of war. “They’re called jaz trees, you say? I’ll have to catalog that.” There’s only so much time for reflecting on the beauties of life during war. We all ought to get around to that kind of pondering after the war, since we already age twice the rate of regular folk. I turned back to the others. Handing some of those thermal detonators to Bearer, I saw his right arm had taken some serious hits.
“Let’s take off some of that plating.”
“No time for that…” he trailed as I gave the shoulder a smack.
“It won't feel too different if you get slammed by a Trando brute with or without the armor at this point. There’s less time to argue than there is to care for wounds. As important as momentum is, we have to ensure that the momentum is carried as far as possible. That armor will weigh you down now obey my order.”
“Yes sir,” with reluctance gone from his voice and a resounding resolve coming over Mourning Squad, it was time for rapid entry.
A few clanks sounded as bloodied plastoid plates hit the ground, “Men, there’s going to be double the fury, triple the numbers, and quadruple the plasma flying in those halls. Bearer, if you will,” he stepped back and detonated the charges, and the blast doors hit the ground vehemently. “Happy hunting, may dha werda verda be upon them!”
Weeper, out.

My dream bike. However... I owned a Commando 850 Mk2A for 38 years and sold it in the end because my aging legs could no longer start it. It was fitted with 8.5:1 pistons. The above beauty, I assume, would have the Combat engine with 10:1 pistons. Definitely couldn't start this one. And I'm sure that if it had a mind to, it could easily launch you over the handlebars if it kicked back. Still, it would be nice to have in the living room.
So apparently not ONLY is Echo still alive, but he was to return in season 7 (Most likely with Gregor?) in an Experimental Commando story Arc.

Oh, and there's a SLIM chance we could get a season 7 on Netflix. Anyone want to bombard Filoni with emails? :P
