The video was aired on TV and did cause a lot of trouble they trotted out former marine officers who said it was a disgrace and it would never happen in their day. I find that a little hard to believe because some of them were serving officers when I first got married and I know stuff like this went on.I think it was as you point out an end of course piss up. The naked thing well all part of growing up and being British. A lot of the trouble is because of other recent events Inquiry into the deaths at Deepcut,recent court martial of soldiers for alleged abuses in Iraq,conviction of and instructor for sexual assault on male recruits. A lot of the public is very concerned about harrassment and bullying in the forces but do not understand that when you finish a tour or in this case commando course you need to let of steam.Personally think anyone who wants to tromp around the English countryside naked is mad too cold!!!! Thanks for your insight into this.

Maureen
