ps if Mrs MM were to discover me with Cols daughter I would require both extraction team AND comouflage and concealment training
Damn it man, that sort of lilly-livered response is nothing short of a disgrace to the Colours! Stand your ground and fight. Well at least until she over powers you on the billiard table, then it's over to the Big 6 and think of England. And having spent a large part of my university days being repeatedly 'overpowered' by a 1*s eldest daughter, I can confirm it isn't as bad as you might think. Character building I think is the phrase.
As for discovering who Col Bloggs is, you need to get yourself a copy of Volume 3 (I think) of the Army List which I believe is the Retired List and gives a brief run down on an individual. You might have to go to the Library for this - or ask one of the MOD libraries such as MOD or Aldershot as the Army List has now gone online and the data protection rules mean they can no longer publish the Retired List.
