Kbf,
Didn't know that IOT was anything like military life, wasn't when I did it, maybe its changed? I understand that they wear plimsoles and hard hats everywhere now.
Heloplt, stick with it fella, life is evidently to short!
Yakkers, understand where you are coming from but you are talking to the wrong audience, they ain't listening and don't need a lecture on how nasty death is at this moment in time. I imagine many of the contributors have seen plenty over the years. Though, as this is a democratic site I respect your right to say what you want.
Don't be offended, its just the way it is. It won't be very easy for people to go to war unless there is some anger and some humour ('sick' or otherwise). Just my opinion.
