That's cool. I've read that P Company is no joke.I just picked up a book called 'Operation Mayhem' by Damien Lewis & Steve Heaney.
Amazon.com: Operation Mayhem (9781409148432): Steve Heaney, Damien Lewis: Books
It's about the Parachute Regiment's Pathfinder platoon on Ops in Sierra Leone. I've read both books by David Blakeley so it'll be good to read another perspective on the unit. I've only read the first chapter so far but it's very interesting. The Pathfinders aren't SF (Yet) but undertake SF missions, undergo similar selection and have similar standards. They also train with Tier 1 US units, in the opening the platoon are doing joint training with DEVGRU / Seal Team 6 in a form of Military Freefall higher than HAHO, jumping out of commercial planes at altitudes higher than C-130 planes can achieve. They operate similarly to the Ranger Reconnaissance Company.
I also picked up a book about the Australian Clearance Divers. The Divers are our version of Combat Swimmers / Divers. They train regularly with the US Navy SEALs and the best of the bunch work in the Counter Terrorism Units TAG (Tactical Assault Group) East and West with the Commandos from 2RAR (Royal Australian Regiment) and the SASR. They undertake Mine Countermeasure training, Underwater Demolitions, VBSS and Maritime Counter-terrorism.
