    Although my Regiment knows all about failure they always drummed into you the follwoing on NCO course regardless were the 6 "P"s:

    Proper Preparation Prevents **** Poor Performance.

    There is always more to these failures then meets the eye, and it is only best listening to those who were actually there to learn the true lessons of Dieppe!
    'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA
