I was able to work with the Gurkhas in HK in the late 80s and early 90s.
They were very tough soldiers. We did what they call a recce concentration which must translate into lets walk this big white guy up and down these mountians till he passes out
I learned how to cook curry in a hide site and sleep on the side of a very steep hill using my ruck sack as a sort of seat tied into the side of the hill.
The best part was watching them assault the Brits who were the OPFOR with there actual Kuhkres drawn
I thought they had gone crazy.

Tough hard nosed soldiers. We should start a new tradtion and get them over here.

Trained with a platoon of them at Range 131 (MOUT Town) at Camp Pendleton for about a week in 2005.
Very professional, and extremely sneaky.
