    YOMP=Young Officer's Marching Pace. Anyone who's spent any time at Lympstone knows the word.it's like TABing(Tactical Advance to Battle) but faster and with more kit. Imagine tieing a small house to your back, waiting unti it's pitch black, then walking so fast you start to look like Monty Python's Inistry of Silly walks.

    failing to prepare = preparing to fail

    Pray not for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.
