Thats where it all goes wrong...:ugh:

I have to say, so what if the press find out? Clearly his PERSEC is extremely important, but no more or less than any other rotary pilot. This is a risk management issue rather than a press management issue.

The well-known fact that he directed air and arty fires as a JTAC in Afghanistan surely means that there are some members of our community (ie the Un-united Kingdom) that would wish him harm. And will serving as an Apache pilot measurably increase that risk?

Anyway, well done Prince Harry. I hope you get a front line tour, deal it to the bad guys and return safe.

:D Let the lad win his spurs, eh?

So Harry now has a more suitable uniform to wear at parties, jolly good.
I'm guessing they'll both have to stop flying if either gets to the top job; it's rather a long time since a King was in combat (Richard III in proper combat, George II on scene ??)

Is the standard procedure to email every newspaper, magazine, news station, freelance journalist and photographer advising them NOT to say anything about a Royal conducting military Ops? If so, I can see a small flaw in this plan.

Well done Harry.

He joins a small but potent peer group for whom, even as a crab, I have the utmost respect. If it werent for them, on occasions, it is an even bet as to whether I'd still be here.

Don't all clap at once......

Well done to the lad.
