Stirling Airsoft Team Selection: 19-21st Oct 07

OptimusPrime

Got what it takes to undertake training that made the SAS the stuff of legend? Well, I don't. I've gone through a Survival, Escape, and Evasion (S.E.E.) course during my younger years, survived it, and DON'T want to go through one again. But for those adventurous guys and girls out there, if you want to be toughened and prove you've got what it takes, then Stirling Airsoft would be more than happy to give it to you.
