“The American Airborne Forces had truly lived up to their motto, which was emblazoned in big letters over their camp gates: STRAC, meaning ‘Skilled, Tough and Ready Around the Clock.’ To some wags in the SAS this was interpreted as ‘Shit, The Russians Are Coming!’ However, for many years afterwards in the SAS to be ‘strac’ meant you were ready. [Concerning SAS training at Fort Bragg in 1962.]”
