This weekend we honor the Brave Veterans and active duty Military. This epic video follows the journey generations of Royal Marines Commandos have gone on as they learn to master the frozen Arctic. Norway is a very tough, unforgiving terrain to train. This video gives us insight of just some of what the Royal Marines go through to prepare and to protect us all. BADASS is the word we use. Join us on Sunday for another Special Remembrance Day Episode. Thank you to ALL Veterans & Active Duty Service Men & Women! Thank you SO much for watching!

Hello, here is a video with an extremely fit norwegian athlete strugleling when he joined the Norwegian artic commandos : ruclips.net/video/ofI5RV7fpT4/видео.html
The British Army also has other units which support RM and Para units whose main role is as described in your video. Royal Artillery, Royal Corps of Signals and others must endure the same training to provide the overall expertise and level of training to provide an effective protector for those citizens who depend on us to keep them safe and secure. keep up the great and respectable videos you do. for all our allies
Please can you do a reaction to this year's UK rememberers day service if at all possible .As you seem genially interested in there history and honor in there loss.
Good Morning Ladies and thank you for the video. I served 7 full winters in Norway during the 70’s and 80’s. As a Junior NCOI taught young marines how to ski, fight and survive in the Arctic. I even got sent to learn how to speak Norwegian! I love Norway and have returned several times. It’s far easier to keep warm than to keep cool. This training stood us in good stead when we were deployed to fight in the Falklands in 1982. Per mare Per Terram - by sea by land
Norwegian Conscript soldier here, we have to serve 12 months at the army and after that you usually are in the reserves or part of the Homeguard (similar to your national guard I think where you have to serve to you are 44 with yearly training). I served 9 months in the north at the GSV (camp) next to the russian border... and as I do live up here so cold weather is part of my life both in civilian and military life. Never tried that falling into water thing hehe ... but still, try and camp outside in -20 degrees with a canvas tent and the only heat we had was a primus that we used for heat, food and melting snow for water, it was tough, and to "shower" it meant rolling around naked in the snow rubbing snow on you hehe. Also a true story, during one of the exorcises here in Norway a group of Homeguards captured a group of American special forces, they made the attack during a storm so while the special forces camped in their tent to protect them from the enviroment the norwegians homeguards.... that pretty much is regular joe working home and train a week a year .... used the enviroment to their advantage and conduct the attack in the storm. Thats how much training in the arctic do to you....
That Training in Norway was invaluable in the Falklands in 82 where they encountered freezing conditions and were deprived of transport and had to Yomp across the Island
@@spikeus3039 Dad was there. He was a Royal Marine and part of the first unit ashore and also one of the last to come home. We watched every minute of news about the Falklands Conflict on TV hoping we didn't hear bad news. Dad got home without a scratch but he has only talked about his experience there once to my knowledge.
RIP My father. WW2 British Commando, part of spearhead in Europe. RIP My Mother, Teacher, then Nurse/Ambulance driver, in occupied Belgium. RIP To all the fallen 🙏. Respect for all serving and previous serving service members.
I served (UK) and I love and respect your channel. I, also, wear my red poppy each year. We also train in the jungle, as jungle warfare. Norway, each year sends the UK a Christmas tree in thanks for what we done for them in WWII.
They still suck at arctic warfare tho, a little trip to Norway now and then is simply not enough. You notice whe they are set up with a norwegian similar size force. Then the marines seem clumsy and slow and really out of their element. Now they are trying and as their own instructors spend more and more time here they learn more and more wich obv makes the marines slowly becoming better but we are born and raised here so obv...we are a lot better at it. It's like sendin us to the texas desert, We wount look very comfortable...
For us here in Australia it’s 11.11.1918 where we wear a red poppy to remember our WW1 diggers. My GG Uncle was in the 1st Australian Tunnelling Co. He was small in stature and his job was a miner, he went to France and worked at digging tunnels and finished up working on the Hindenburg line. He was my mums Uncle and my dads Uncle was 18years old and finished up a POW with the Germans and traded back at Christmas time after the war ended. I also have various other Uncles GG that went of which we only lost 1, he is buried in the war cemetery in Egypt. I wear my poppy with pride and remember them always. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
There is a video on RUclips by the BBC called Fighting in the freezer, this follows the Royal Marines teaching the United States Marines how to fight in these conditions. It's worth a look

Hi Girls As a long retired former member of the British Army Parachute Regiment, we had our own M & A training course, Taking place in Scotland & Norway, exchange of training techniques were shared, but parachuting in those conditions in the early 80's made it even colder. After many generations in the Black Watch, my uncles moved to the Parachute Regiment and Fought at D-Day and Arnhem during the 2nd World War. Lest We Forget
A quick point as you may have misunderstood something the first speaker was saying - Afghanistan in winter is not a warm environment. Very cold (-20 to -25), very snowy, very barren. The Norway training would definitely have been useful there.
And for an earlier generation, Korea. The military experience there led to the importance of learning from our friends in Norway, which instigated the High Arctic element of today's training programme.
Many years ago bumped into the Royal Marines in Serre Chevaliere in the French Alps while I was on a skiing holiday, they were having the inter military mountain exercise competitions..... absolute units and great fun to talk to, and boy they can knock the beers back.
Don`t know if you can access the BBC TV channel live this week-end, but we have the annual Cenotaph parade and service headed by the King and the rest of the royal family when we remember the 2 world wars and the conflicts that have happened since. We honour the memory of the fallen, and also those who were injured, men and women, and the animals who lost their lives too. Many regiments will pass by the cenotaph memorial and lay wreaths of poppies, and also the Commonwealth are also represented by their ambassadors. The broadcast starts at 10-30am and there are 2 minutes silence at 11am. The music is very evocative and I have watched this for as long as I remember, ...I am 73 this year.
The ice water drill is actually something that's done in a lot of schools in the Nordics, i've done it 3 times and the first time i was like 10 yrs old and i live in Sweden!
On Remembrance Day, I not only remember our veterans, but also my brother who fought as a U.S. Marine in Vietnam - and also the Best Mother in the World. Happy Birthday in Heaven Mum. Still missing you after all these years. And finally, Happy Birthday to you too Natasha!! I hope you have a great day.
Thank you girl’s another outstanding video and amazing input from you both God Bless all who protect us now and those who died to allow us our freedom sending love and prayers to all those still suffering x x
Hi girls , I served in the RAF in the 1970’s . My Father was a Normandy Veteran, landing on Sword Beach 80 years ago . Unfortunately he is no longer with us . Thank you for your kind thoughts. Blessings . Sally from the UK 🇬🇧 xx
As a Norwegian I’ve done just some of this in a conscription capacity but not as much as these professional soldiers do. Respect to them all. But I’ve skied for long distances and gone on recon and slept outside in -25 degrees celsius with make shift bedding in snow caves and stuff like that. Lets say I’ve had a small taste of these guys experiences 😊
Lest we forget. This weekend. My hero is my Uncle from Wales , A Doctor and Captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps. He crossed to France D+12. In the second world war. He took part in the Normandy campaign and in April 1945 was amongst the first to enter Bergen Belsen concentration camp in Germany where they encountered ten thousand unburied dead...he was only 28 yrs old and I have his letter written home from there. My Mother from Lowestoft, Suffolk, England remembered as a young girl the American Flying Fortress aircraft returning home all shot up... poor lads.
Never had to serve, and that is thanks to the people that have served before me! My father did serve in the 50's in Germany with the Royal Artillery. I have absolute respect for all our military personnel, past and present!!
Thanks for getting back on air I love your show and the insight that two girls from the USA it gives me and I'm sure everyone else that follows your show a whole different way to look at things. Thank you and keep up the good work.
It is a really rough thing in Germany: to show and give respect to (our) soldiers. There is a lot because of our history… and I can see that slowly some change their minds. A lot of people forget that soldiers also help during other catastrophic situations! Like the flood we had in Germany, helping building walls against the water, helping saving people and giving water and food to those in need. They do it hand in hand with our other units like "THW“ or the fire department. But it is and always be a controversal theme… But as long as we discuss respectfully and accept each other, it is ok. I thank you for saying your opinion and for being so respectful! ❤
Brits have come to Norway for decades to get winter training. In more recent years there are big training exercises up north where NATO forces train together in winter conditions. Cold Response (renamed Nordic Response after Sweden and Finland joined NATO) is a bi annual exercise. The other is called Joint Viking and run in the years between Nordic Response.
Good on you too, never apologise for being proud of those having served who keep you safe, i am ex military and it is humbling when someone says thank you, doesn't happen enough though.
Many thanks for the great video on our commandos. As an Ex Welsh Guardsman, we served alongside the Commandos in Northern Ireland in 1992 in a place called Clogher. Top men and much respect to them.
When the Japanese invaded New Guinea in WWII, Australia had already sent most of it's troops to fight in Europe. It was left to half a battalion of militia to stop 6 cololms of Japanese troops from crossing New Guinea and reaching Australia. They did it and held their ground for months, while waiting for the regular soldiers to come and relieve them.😮 We owe our existence, as a nation, to these brave men. 🙏
From the perspective of a 76 year old I think that British military memories tended to fade with the recession of the First and Second World Wars into history because the services which have fought in the many wars since 1945 have been much smaller and civilian engagement with former soldiers, sailors and airmen have consequently lessened. That such memories still have meaning is proved by the annual Festival of Remembrance and the ceremony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall and across the country. My generation’s fathers and grandfathers and uncles had usually fought in the two World Wars; my father was in the Army from 1940-46 and spent the period 1941-45 continuously in the Middle East. My parents had married in 1941 just before he went abroad - he had 72 hours leave - and consequently it was getting on for five years before they settled down to a civilian married life. When my father returned home my mother, usually pretty stoic, broke down in tears, bless her. My maternal grandfather, who served in the Boer War and was decorated for bravery in the trenches on the Western Front, ending up a Company Sergeant-Major, summed up for me the lingering memory of that war when, almost as his last words in 1963, he said to my mother ‘Make sure the men are fed’. That was the man who organised and led the local Remembrance Sunday Parade each November in the 1920s/30s. Wonderful men. My point, if I have one, is that the USA has a vast military complex with accordingly many more of your fellow countrymen and women willing to risk their lives for your country than the UK. After expending our blood and treasure in the 20th century we make do with limited numbers but no less committed and no less effective.
A few hours ago, I watched the BBC Festival of Remembrance and was brought to tears. There was a section of programming where the events of D-Day in 1944 were brought into focus. Afterwards, the 1944 D-Day veterans who were featured in the video clips came on to the stage and were introduced as D-Day heroes. As the audience applauded, one of their number, an elderly and extremely frail gentleman, forced himself to his feet out of his wheelchair. To stand, and be counted. Yes Sir. You have served your country and you continue to do us proud. I'm not a person for showing my emotions - but I cried!!!!
Hi, I had wondered where you were, and am pleased to see you again. Great video. We certainly need these guys. The world is a dangerous place. But you two do make me laugh with the heartfelt and often humorous comments and I love you for that. Cheers! Sheffield South Yorkshire.
I smile at the people who dislike the military and all it does while enjoying the freedoms the same militaries gave them and maintain for them I will be at my local remembrance service (every place in the UK has a military memorial) and will salute those who gave their todays for our tomorrows. We WILL remember them Per Ardua Ad Astra.
Thank you ladies for another great reaction video. I was in the British army for 16 years & for 10 of those was attached to a unit that deployed to Norway every year. I went on to be a Arctic survival instructor & Arctic Warfare instructor. Although it's very difficult terrain to work in, the training is so repetitive the job gets a bit easier. As a Veteran, I would like to thank you both for all the love & support you give ALL the militaries around the world. Knowing folk like you appreciate all the sacrifices the military make to preserve our freedoms, makes them worthwhile. God bless you both.. Love from the UK.
Loving your work as ever ladies and your respect and love for those who protect our freedom and honour those who sacrificed their lives so we can enjoy this channel. No apologies, just celebrate ❤
Another excellent video, I served in Norway on 4 occasions, had to do the Novice Ski Survival Course (NSSC) and Acrtic Survival Training Course (AST) both course taught by the ML's and coldest temp being -35°c. Both amazing memories and helped me become a Survival and SERE instructor later in my Army career. Thanks again Ladies.
My friend a Mountaineer trainer in the UK military used to do this course every year . He is one of only 8 military Mountaineer specialists to have been given permission to climb on both Poles and has a photo of himself in a Kilt when his soldiers teased him to bring back the proof he took up the dare . He said he was freezing changing into it . I bet .
Another amazing video by you two amazing ladies. Interesting to learn about this as I didn’t know they trained in Norway. Thanks to all the serving military around the world and than you to all of our veterans.
My grandad underwent winter training in Scotland in WWII as his Regiment was expected to be sent to fight in Norway. By the time he was ready, Norway had fallen, so he was sent to Burma.
I enjoy learning about this kind of thing along with both of you. I had no idea of the training the marines go through. A big Thank You to all of our military!
I had the opportunity to undertake cold weather survival training in Norway, and I have to say it has to be the single hardest thing I've done in my life so far, but definitely the most rewarding. Thanks for sharing this video. 👍🤘
Hiya, 4:winter Deployments with 42 Commando, cold under cover and in snowholes.. but great fun, fantastic scenery, Northern Lights through the night... And just a wonderful place. I now live in the Philippines 😊
My late father was a Royal Marine Commando during WWII and took part in the D-Day landings. He was at the infamous 'Bridge Too Far' but arrived after the fighting was over, he was stuck in a 3-day traffic jam trying to get there. He also saw the horrors of Bergen-Belsen first hand a week after it was liberated. Bergen-Belsen was the camp where Anne Frank was executed along with thousands of others!
You two always manage to amuse me, keep it up. Thank you for your attitude of respect for veterans and serving member of the military. You respect them far more than many people in Britain. Even the military hate war, the trouble is it's often the only option left after the politicians have messed things up.
My son is an active Royals Marines Commando, trains in the high north of Norway for 3 months at the start of every year. This is a forward NATO force operating protecting from Russian access to North Atlantic.
Winters in Afganistan can be extremely harsh, with temperatures dropping to -25°C,sometimes even lower, for months at a time. The season brings heavy snowfall, though this can vary depending on location and altitude.
I love these two patriotic girls. They are wonderful! Thank you to all who serve in the military, wherever you may be. Thank you to Norway for making this possible. Norway, bless them, every year, sends a huge Christmas tree to London to be placed in Trafalgar Square, as remembrance of their liberation in WWII. The Norwegians don't forget and we will never forget those who gave their lives for freedom.
Hi Girls, have you heard the story from Afghanistan of the 4 Royal Marines who went into action strapped to the side of 2 Apache helicopters? (Actually it was 3 Marines and a Royal Engineer). It was known as Operation Glacier 2, the channel "Liveth For Evermore" has photos and video of them mounting up and taking off!
Good on you girls they is nothing wrong with being proud of your military I'm proud of British military respect to you and the us military America is and always will our closest Allie and friends end of thank you for your love of our country and military
Belated Happy Birthday Natasha. 🎂 Missed this vid earlier, but my family has always remembered the fallen. Particularly my uncle, who lies in Sangro River War Cemetery, Italy ( King's Dragoon Guards); my 1st cousin once removed, who lies in a Berlin War Cemetery (RCAF) and my mum's first husband RAF. My mum for serving in the Surrey Fire Brigade after the loss of her husband. My dad for serving 6 years in the RN. I was so proud of my 6 year old grandson who took part in his Beaver Scouts Church Parade on Remembrance Sunday this year. It was great to see so many young people remembering in a small village in England. Even the Vicar had to apologise for lack of seating in the church.
Hi lovely ladies, I hope all is well…my apologies for not being in touch for a while. Bless you both on Remembrance Sunday and Veterans Day. God bless all those who served and those who do now and especially to those young men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🇧🇲🇻🇬🇦🇮🇦🇺🇫🇰🇫🇯🇳🇿🇳🇺🇸🇭🇹🇻🇹🇨🇬🇸🇮🇴🇯🇲🇿🇦 Love the fact that you liken our Royal Marines to Storm Troopers…maybe that’s because “The Empire Strikes Back”! ❤

Is that you Tiny ??
@44reaver yes, I'm afraid it is.
One thing my friends learned many years ago; never pick on the small guy in a pub brawl, (ie Britain). It will never end well.
As a Glasweigan woman, I can testify this is true.

Looking forward to this, Seen it before. so that's a good video. Norway is a great winter training for soldiers. Many countries go there.😊

Fun fact: The battle of Hoth in Star Wars V was filmed in Norway at Hardangerjøkulen Glacier. :)

It is a really rough thing in Germany: to show and give respect to (our) soldiers. There is a lot because of our history… and I can see that slowly some change their minds.
A lot of people forget that soldiers also help during other catastrophic situations! Like the flood we had in Germany, helping building walls against the water, helping saving people and giving water and food to those in need. They do it hand in hand with our other units like "THW“ or the fire department.
But it is and always be a controversal theme… But as long as we discuss respectfully and accept each other, it is ok.
I thank you for saying your opinion and for being so respectful!

Brits have come to Norway for decades to get winter training. In more recent years there are big training exercises up north where NATO forces train together in winter conditions. Cold Response (renamed Nordic Response after Sweden and Finland joined NATO) is a bi annual exercise.
The other is called Joint Viking and run in the years between Nordic Response.
Good on you too, never apologise for being proud of those having served who keep you safe, i am ex military and it is humbling when someone says thank you, doesn't happen enough though.
Many thanks for the great video on our commandos. As an Ex Welsh Guardsman, we served alongside the Commandos in Northern Ireland in 1992 in a place called Clogher. Top men and much respect to them.
Thank you for your service 🙏🏻
Thank you too ❤@@TheNatashaDebbieShow
You should watch the documentary about The Heroes of Telemark
Hello ladies. I served ten years in the Corps as an officer, and did 4 Norway deployments. I enjoy your videos. Best, Duncan
When the Japanese invaded New Guinea in WWII, Australia had already sent most of it's troops to fight in Europe. It was left to half a battalion of militia to stop 6 cololms of Japanese troops from crossing New Guinea and reaching Australia. They did it and held their ground for months, while waiting for the regular soldiers to come and relieve them.😮 We owe our existence, as a nation, to these brave men. 🙏

Hi Ladies, i am watching our Royal British Legion of Remembrance 2024, it really heart breaking. Family, Family, Family, Cherish, Cherish Cherish.
From the perspective of a 76 year old I think that British military memories tended to fade with the recession of the First and Second World Wars into history because the services which have fought in the many wars since 1945 have been much smaller and civilian engagement with former soldiers, sailors and airmen have consequently lessened. That such memories still have meaning is proved by the annual Festival of Remembrance and the ceremony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall and across the country.
My generation’s fathers and grandfathers and uncles had usually fought in the two World Wars; my father was in the Army from 1940-46 and spent the period 1941-45 continuously in the Middle East. My parents had married in 1941 just before he went abroad - he had 72 hours leave - and consequently it was getting on for five years before they settled down to a civilian married life. When my father returned home my mother, usually pretty stoic, broke down in tears, bless her.
My maternal grandfather, who served in the Boer War and was decorated for bravery in the trenches on the Western Front, ending up a Company Sergeant-Major, summed up for me the lingering memory of that war when, almost as his last words in 1963, he said to my mother ‘Make sure the men are fed’. That was the man who organised and led the local Remembrance Sunday Parade each November in the 1920s/30s. Wonderful men.
My point, if I have one, is that the USA has a vast military complex with accordingly many more of your fellow countrymen and women willing to risk their lives for your country than the UK. After expending our blood and treasure in the 20th century we make do with limited numbers but no less committed and no less effective.
A few hours ago, I watched the BBC Festival of Remembrance and was brought to tears. There was a section of programming where the events of D-Day in 1944 were brought into focus. Afterwards, the 1944 D-Day veterans who were featured in the video clips came on to the stage and were introduced as D-Day heroes. As the audience applauded, one of their number, an elderly and extremely frail gentleman, forced himself to his feet out of his wheelchair. To stand, and be counted. Yes Sir. You have served your country and you continue to do us proud. I'm not a person for showing my emotions - but I cried!!!!
Excellent show guys my dad was in the British Army based in Aldershot. Cheers
Hi, I had wondered where you were, and am pleased to see you again. Great video. We certainly need these guys. The world is a dangerous place. But you two do make me laugh with the heartfelt and often humorous comments and I love you for that. Cheers! Sheffield South Yorkshire.
I smile at the people who dislike the military and all it does while enjoying the freedoms the same militaries gave them and maintain for them
I will be at my local remembrance service (every place in the UK has a military memorial) and will salute those who gave their todays for our tomorrows.
We WILL remember them
Per Ardua Ad Astra.
From the UK 🇬🇧. Napoleon was defeated by the snow. Hitler was defeated by the snow. We’ve learnt from history.
Thank you ladies for another great reaction video. I was in the British army for 16 years & for 10 of those was attached to a unit that deployed to Norway every year. I went on to be a Arctic survival instructor & Arctic Warfare instructor. Although it's very difficult terrain to work in, the training is so repetitive the job gets a bit easier.
As a Veteran, I would like to thank you both for all the love & support you give ALL the militaries around the world. Knowing folk like you appreciate all the sacrifices the military make to preserve our freedoms, makes them worthwhile. God bless you both.. Love from the UK.
We will never forget them - As an ex Royal Navy Submariner, I love your channel - Keep up the good work. New subscriber here.
Hi from Oslo Norway 🇳🇴, i was watching uss Truman entering oslo
Loving your work as ever ladies and your respect and love for those who protect our freedom and honour those who sacrificed their lives so we can enjoy this channel. No apologies, just celebrate ❤
Another excellent video, I served in Norway on 4 occasions, had to do the Novice Ski Survival Course (NSSC) and Acrtic Survival Training Course (AST) both course taught by the ML's and coldest temp being -35°c. Both amazing memories and helped me become a Survival and SERE instructor later in my Army career.
Thanks again Ladies.
Welcome back guy's, I've missed you.
Great vids. My 18 yr old son had just started RM recruit training immensely proud 😊
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
LEST WE FORGET ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲
My friend a Mountaineer trainer in the UK military used to do this course every year . He is one of only 8 military Mountaineer specialists to have been given permission to climb on both Poles and has a photo of himself in a Kilt when his soldiers teased him to bring back the proof he took up the dare .
He said he was freezing changing into it . I bet .
Another amazing video by you two amazing ladies. Interesting to learn about this as I didn’t know they trained in Norway. Thanks to all the serving military around the world and than you to all of our veterans.
My grandad underwent winter training in Scotland in WWII as his Regiment was expected to be sent to fight in Norway. By the time he was ready, Norway had fallen, so he was sent to Burma.
Fun fact stormtroopers in Star Wars are equipped with British Sterling Submachine Guns!
Great video! Happy birthday Natasha on 12 th 🤟🏻 Cool t shirt, I’ve got a Rebel t shirt!
I enjoy learning about this kind of thing along with both of you. I had no idea of the training the marines go through. A big Thank You to all of our military!
I've loooooved monsieur Bowie since 1972 and took many slings and arrows because of him. Never wavered from my hero. Miss you David Bowie. Xxx
Welcome back 🎉 another great one girls
I had the opportunity to undertake cold weather survival training in Norway, and I have to say it has to be the single hardest thing I've done in my life so far, but definitely the most rewarding.
Thanks for sharing this video. 👍🤘
It's frikking cold in Norway at times, so cold you can't make snowballs!
Hiya, 4:winter Deployments with 42 Commando, cold under cover and in snowholes.. but great fun, fantastic scenery, Northern Lights through the night... And just a wonderful place. I now live in the Philippines 😊
3 winters with 42 and yes those same memories but let’s keep quiet about the Saturday nights at Bessheim 🤫😂
My late father was a Royal Marine Commando during WWII and took part in the D-Day landings. He was at the infamous 'Bridge Too Far' but arrived after the fighting was over, he was stuck in a 3-day traffic jam trying to get there. He also saw the horrors of Bergen-Belsen first hand a week after it was liberated. Bergen-Belsen was the camp where Anne Frank was executed along with thousands of others!
You two always manage to amuse me, keep it up. Thank you for your attitude of respect for veterans and serving member of the military. You respect them far more than many people in Britain. Even the military hate war, the trouble is it's often the only option left after the politicians have messed things up.
good to have you guys back. By far my fav reaction couple!
My brother in law is in the Royal engineers and goes to Canada for his winter training
My friend was once a RM and said that they did indeed practice with the USMC
My son is an active Royals Marines Commando, trains in the high north of Norway for 3 months at the start of every year. This is a forward NATO force operating protecting from Russian access to North Atlantic.
Much respect to your Son my friend.
Hi young ladies,happy birthday natasha, i respect all military ,any one who fought for any country xx
Winters in Afganistan can be extremely harsh, with temperatures dropping to -25°C,sometimes even lower, for months at a time. The season brings heavy snowfall, though this can vary depending on location and altitude.
Surely nobody would ever wanna hurt Norway, if ever UK has its back we love Norway, thanks for letting us train there
A must watch for you girls, Royal marines behind the lines ,episode 1... Please.
Then you should see how the Norweigan Nato soliders train, the british intructors get trained by norwegian instructors
This was such an interesting reaction. The scenery was stunning . Hope Debbie slept well.
Happy birthday Natasha for the 12th too.
Thanks so much!
I love these two patriotic girls. They are wonderful! Thank you to all who serve in the military, wherever you may be. Thank you to Norway for making this possible. Norway, bless them, every year, sends a huge Christmas tree to London to be placed in Trafalgar Square, as remembrance of their liberation in WWII. The Norwegians don't forget and we will never forget those who gave their lives for freedom.
Hi Girls, have you heard the story from Afghanistan of the 4 Royal Marines who went into action strapped to the side of 2 Apache helicopters? (Actually it was 3 Marines and a Royal Engineer). It was known as Operation Glacier 2, the channel "Liveth For Evermore" has photos and video of them mounting up and taking off!
Years ago we used to have german and usa troops do artic training in Manitoba Canada near CFB shilo where it can get to -40C with windchill
Good on you girls they is nothing wrong with being proud of your military I'm proud of British military respect to you and the us military America is and always will our closest Allie and friends end of thank you for your love of our country and military
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
Belated Happy Birthday Natasha. 🎂
Missed this vid earlier, but my family has always remembered the fallen. Particularly my uncle, who lies in Sangro River War Cemetery, Italy ( King's Dragoon Guards); my 1st cousin once removed, who lies in a Berlin War Cemetery (RCAF) and my mum's first husband RAF. My mum for serving in the Surrey Fire Brigade after the loss of her husband. My dad for serving 6 years in the RN.
I was so proud of my 6 year old grandson who took part in his Beaver Scouts Church Parade on Remembrance Sunday this year. It was great to see so many young people remembering in a small village in England. Even the Vicar had to apologise for lack of seating in the church.
Happy birthday Natasha or David or Ziggy remember your so nice kind Beautiful.
My dad did training in Norway. Loved the training but didn't like skiing a tree managed to get in his way. Lok
Hi lovely ladies, I hope all is well…my apologies for not being in touch for a while. Bless you both on Remembrance Sunday and Veterans Day. God bless all those who served and those who do now and especially to those young men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🇧🇲🇻🇬🇦🇮🇦🇺🇫🇰🇫🇯🇳🇿🇳🇺🇸🇭🇹🇻🇹🇨🇬🇸🇮🇴🇯🇲🇿🇦
Love the fact that you liken our Royal Marines to Storm Troopers…maybe that’s because “The Empire Strikes Back”! ❤
Some parts of Norway is pretty cold and harsh some parts of the year
In Norway 🇳🇴 we have a saying, there is now bad weather, only bad clothes 😎
Ger dressed 🫶🏼
We say that in the UK too lol
Norway is the most beautiful country I have ever been to. If you ever travel don't miss this place. ❤
