[edit] "Unit"

I always thought that once you became a staff officer you technically were not part of the regiment you used to be in, and that any association was just an informal one, or were associations like Col. of the Regt etc... 202.89.152.154 22:29, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Service in the SAS"

Does anyone know about his service or role within the SAS? You can tell that he used to be a past member of the unit by looking at his right shoulder which display the NZSAS Parachute Wings, which each member is presented with. (Obviously he is not active anymore) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.238.136.83 (talk) 19:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
