in the run up to the invasion of Iraq some of my regular counterparts were criticising the number of reservists who were going to chilwell to be mobilised and being turned down as not being medically or dentally fit to deploy. And how this was disgraceful. I pointed them in the direction of the garrison med centre to see the numbers of Regulars trying to get their medical downgradings adjusted so they couldn't go. I know that alot of the reservists were gutted at being turned down.
