Select from the following:
1: I hung around in Bahrain getting pissed on the taxpayers money, making the occasional twice fortnightly soiree into (safe as houses if not off camp) Kabul to get my medal, whilst moaning about the danger at 30,000 feet. (See Basrah)
2. I shat it at a UK base moaning about doing CCS.
3: I spent a month in Basrah (safe as houses if not off camp also) moaning about the mess facilities, and the danger of the ground to air threat just to get my medal. (Even though there are no credible enemy air forces or ground threat operating in any current theatre!)
Brave men, to a man. I salute you all!
1. Spent several tours in Northern Ireland as an Infantryman. Mid 80's South Armagh, West Belfast, Londonderry. (several contacts, lost approx 10 mates in the first two tours alone).
2. Bosnia (when the war was still on. Plenty of contacts)
3. That accounts for two of my six gongs. I'll not bore you with the rest.
4. Best you do a little bit of homework and discover I'm not a sideways walker but a pongo.
Detective work not your strong point?
