If Faye Turney was my daughter I'd give myself a slap.

Then I'd advise her to make as much money out of this as quickly as possible.
£150k from the papers for a few interviews and pictures? Done.

£100k for a book deal? Done.

£20k for a couple of tawdry celeb appearances over the next 2 years? Done.
Its illogical not to do so.

Being in the military is just another job these days - so it would seem. That's how senior managment, Government and the public view it. So treat it like just another job.

Lamentable yes. But reality I fear. Especially for the non-commissioned.

She can bring that child up now with a private education. Or work part time with no mortgage and be there for it. Its a life changing sum of money for someone like Faye. If it were you and the sums were larger, say half a million, then I think you'd want us to forgive you for putting your family first and selling.

If you didn't I'd think you had an odd, outdated attitiude to the current world.
