Untitled[edit]

What kind of encyp. entry is that - "he remains active in the recon community"? What is his current outfit? What his position? Can we get mor inprecisely like "today he is still alive" or "he lived happily ever after" or could we resume some standarts of accuracy here I wounder? 62.178.4.191 (talk) 16:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Royal Marine Commandos[edit]

The article states he "went to serve two years in the Royal Marine Commandos". This states that he would have had to leave the USMC and join the Royal Marine Commandos. It later says that he was later promoted the Company Gunnery Sergeant for H&S Company. Since I do not have access to Wright's book that this information is cited from, I would ask that someone could verify that he indeed was in the Royal Marine Commandos and not just attached to them. 216.208.235.27 (talk) 03:38, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Generation Kill says 'He [Colbert] was nominated to enter a two-year exchange program with the British Royal Marines, with whom he is now serving.' in the epilogue. Rather than he actually joined them. --77.44.69.173 (talk) 00:05, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
