| You will also be issued with a Zimmer frame, a little blow up rubber ring and a pair of comfy slippers. Looking at the photograph it would seem that only people with the Rootie Gong qualify so, they won't be wanting me. I'm a bit old be be a Launcher No 1 now anyway. | |

| Hospital Sergeants wear gold braid on their scarlet coats and this has to be added to the cuffs and pockets, and they wear larger than average rank chevrons. http://www.kdtailoring.com/clients.html | |

| Snigger not, it's crazy........... This week in conversation with a young chap, he told he'd been offered a job in Bastion. Two years, £150 K, all found, ten weeks on, three weeks off, flown to UK each time or wherever he wants if he pays the extra over the cost of a UK flight.
"Thought they were cutting back " he observed. "Yes they are. Getting rid of military and replacing with civvies " was the response. | |

"Thought they were cutting back " he observed. "Yes they are. Getting rid of military and replacing with civvies " was the response. A mate of mine, an ex para and Falklands veteran was finding it hard to get any gainful employment so within the para community (mercenaries) he got a job in Iraq 'armed to the teeth' as a security bod. He was well paid and even had a paid holiday in somewhere like Dubai as R&R IIRC. He had his 50th birthday a few weeks back ! | |
