Mate of mine, (WO) confined to base, met his wife today, he gets back from this debacle then a week later back out to theatre for ooh how many times is it now!!!!?

I have done the RAH uxbridge week, luckily the QCS treat us like adults and its up to you to make sure you are fit for duty in the morning, and pretty sure QCS speed marching would wake anyone up
