I know Dave well (worked in the same office 2002-2005) and I hope he manages to pick up the pieces of his life when he gets out. He clearly needs some psychological / counselling help.
Those that knew him best were well aware of his 'extra badges'.
It puts me in mind of a picture taken of him (still in the instructors office at boulmer sfc) to demonstrate the category Faker. Somehow seems very apt!
Will he be in Colchester or a civvie clink? Anyone know?
I'd like to write to him.
