Elements of armed forces that undertake unconventional covert and overt operations such as counterterrorist, demolition, offensive raids, intelligence-gathering, reconnaissance and search and rescue missions by air, land, or sea during conflicts and in peacetime.
It's not always straightforward to define what special forces, in respect of the military, actually means as the role is so fluid to keep up with changing needs although, one thing is for certain...they're special people who do extraordinary things.
Speaking of special people makes me think of a very special little fellow called 
His love of Lego is legendary so there was no doubt that I'd have to send some which I posted about here but I wanted to find a few other things to add to the parcel to maximise the weight I could send in it so I've been looking around...and that's when I found this. My only concern was if they would have his size, everything else about it was perfect, so I rifled through the rack and finally found what I was looking for.
Unsurprisingly, he loves trucks, cars, Lego, fire engines, police vehicles, helicopters, fighter jets, military stuff and guns...Yeah, he's pretty much the same I was when I was a kid am now, and this operators outfit is going to blow his mind!
It comes with dog tags, binoculars and a fake UHF radio plus a hat and, of course, the essential Australian flag. The radio will probably get removed as he has his own real UHF radio which I sent him last year (a set of two) so he doesn't need pretend radios and then all he'll have to add is a rifle...although my brother is going to line up a handgun and holster rig for him as well as the rifle. (Toy ones.)
There's also a compass (which works) and loads of pockets and pouches for him to carry the other stuff he'll need when on missions; snacks probably. The hat is cool also, however he took one of my 5.11 Tactical caps when he was here at Christmas and he rarely takes it off, so I assume he'll continue to wear that one.
I'm pretty excited about him getting it although it would be a lot better if I was there to give it to him. I'll see the unboxing by video chat though and that'll be cool. I know he will love this thing, and the Lego I send him also but I know he'd be happier to have me there; he's good like that, a really nice kid who shows how much he loves me.
I couldn't ask for a more special nephew, he's an extraordinary little kid and pretty special to me, and my only disappointment is the distance between us, which is vast, that prevents regular in-person contact.
Do you think this is a cool birthday present for him? What's the best you've ever received or given? Feel free to comment below, I'll respond.
