His life could be far far worse, he could be a sad individual on a forum debating other peoples lives and how they live them for instance.
Look at the positives:
He has a rather splendid SAS tache and lets not forget the 21st century is all about appearance rather than substance, so things aren't all bad for him.
His mag wheels look quite smart too.

"Jumping Jack,
I honestly cannot see how in that case it was a "cowards way" out. More like someone who has reached a point where he feels he cannot go on any longer.
I am certain the family will be more concerned with other current emotions than your claims of "potential shame and ignomony".
We will never know what was going on in that individuals mind that led to him take his own life.
Personally, I think your comments are of a "throwaway" nature merely prompting a response.
I am in agreement with Kitbag............your comments are not only stupid but tasteless to boot."

Fingers crossed you never find yourself in a position where it even crosses your mind to take 'the coward's way out'. If you ever really screw up big time you might understand, become less judgemental and show a bit more compassion.

What is even sadder is what you see when you click the friends tab on his webpage -
In fact the only thing sadder is someone who has nothing better to do than post said observation on this forum

Have a read of his blog. Especially the very last bit.
I've known a few people to big themselves up for various reasons. Like being trained in unarmed combat in the OTC at Uni
But the people who really can do (or have done something truly remarkable) are very reserved / quiet about it.

Walting really is en vogue at the moment:
I love the sub-heading "English Fruitcake"!

And then there was this one...
PPrune Passim reported extensively on Mr Eke, an ATC officer who stole money and uttered documents to obtain an MBE by deception. Herewith his wikipedia entry:

A sad, dangerous and deceitful sh!t.

I realise this is thread creep but.....
Regardless of whether Air Traffic Officers are Airspace Managers or not........Whenurhappy was totally correct about 'Mr' Eke. Having gone to school with him he is and has been for a long time
However, this is not.....
I am surprised about the laisse faire attitude of some earlier posts, sure 'Sharpey' may have been a nice guy and sure he may been harshly treated for just "falsifying some quals" and wearing badges that he wasn't entitled to (although I'm sure if it was a flying brevet he was wearing, he'd have been told to lose it very quickly). I doubt even that his detachment would have put many at risk since as non-rock I suspect that he'd have been fairly well back from the front line. WHAT he is a complete a*se for doing is keeping ammunition in his private residence where any Tom, Dick or Harry could broken in, stolen and gone on a Ryan-sque rampage - there are no mitigating factors for this and no excuses. Any armourer or DArmO would have taken the ammunition had he actually asked. He has gotten all that he deserves!!!!
Once a brat, always a brat................Trenchard's finest
