Poland has their own distinctive cammo pattern, and that ain't it. Poland issues the Tantal AK rifle, and does not issue EOTech CCO's. I am also fairly sure they would use local ear-pro, and not Peltors.<br /><br />While I didn't have extensive contact with the GROM boys at Al-Kut, they did invite me to dinner often after they saw my name tape :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149413639416513267.post-63984252504808147492012-12-31T19:14:07.023-08:002012-12-31T19:14:07.023-08:00Yeah, GROM Operators are absolute bad-asses. Back ...Yeah, GROM Operators are absolute bad-asses. Back in the day, the Polish Army drafted all men when they turned 18 if they didn't go to college, so the soldiers were essentially a joke, very few were there professionally. Now, they stopped the draft and all soldiers are there by choice, all are professionals. Only the best of the best of these make it to GROM. GROM has been known to train with the SEALS, Deltas, and a bunch of other SF units from around the world, all hold GROM in very high regard.P.J.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08446850253506506438noreply@blogger.com
