The book suggests no real description, other than as a humanoid. I'd always thought of him as a paranoid- as opposed to arrogant and fussy- version of C3POsmiley - biggrin

Jack,

My wife is a member of this group and pointed me to your post.

Firstly, allow me to explain that I have been in the forces for 18 years, and from 1999 until 2002 I co-ordinated Territorial Units in the London area. I therefore know how they operate and can tell you with some certainty that what you are suggesting is erroneous.

It is impossible to "rotate" for a couple of weeks into a combat area, and no further Territorial Regiments have been sent into any overseas theatre since late 2004. This is a Ministerial steer, and has not been rescinded. I should know as I have been in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2003 and I still keep ties to my old job.

Therefore, you must be replacing home based troops, in which case this is not done on a weekly basis. It is done only on a weekend basis when TA Units are required for exercise and cross duty. It is also very rare as these contingencies are permanently in place, even during wartime. As I said, I co-ordinated all of London for over 3 years so I know what I am talking about.

So, since you can ONLY belong to a part time unit (the re-activation of service for regular personnel only occurs in laughable bad American movies), why are you claiming that you are "shipping out" for "a few weeks"?

Pattichild,

Apologies for posting on your private messages. I must confess that I did not know that it was such, and ask you to pardon my ignorance.

My reasoning was that I saw fit to challenge what I saw to be gross errors on the part of the poster called Jack. I posted everywhere he had made the outrageous claim, so that he would be corrected.

It's simply that I do not like to see misrepresentation of my profession by wannabies and pretenders. It's disrespectful to me and to the men and women of the armed forces currently fighting this unpopular war.

Once again, I apologise for using your personal space to correct Jack.

The cowardly poster has already revealed themselves to have been operating with misinformed veiws. They have deliberatly tried to sabotage our freindship for their own malicious reason, and there statements are incorrect. However, if you no longer wish to communicate, then I will accept that the damage has been done.
