Sorry
AEO, I may just be a grumpy old crab but I'm with
Clockwork Mouse on this one...
..... there's a
world of difference between "a couple of beers with ratings (aimen/ORs)" and what happened here ....
..... and then there's the position of PO Dryhurst (m or f incidentally?).
Aren't SNCOs supposed to look after the ruperts
and the blighters, not accommodate them and facilitate their public punchups...?
And of course our previous SofS' words come to mind ......
"Umm Qasr is a town similar to Southampton", UK Defence Minister Geoff Hoon told the House of Commons yesterday. "He's either never been to Southampton, or he's never been to Umm Qasr", said one British soldier, informed of this while on patrol in Umm Qasr. Another added: "There's no beer, no prostitutes, and people are shooting at us. It's more like Portsmouth."
