Before we all get excited, He would be doing this further training whether or not he is going to Iraq or Afghanistan.

Surely the MOD wouldn't let him complete this part of his training and then pull him out? Oh I forgot this is the MOD, anything is possible!

Ah.. Skydragon! A cynic after my own heart.

How could you possibly think the Ministry of Defence could be so, how shall I say, THICK!

Nah ... Not to worry. They have spin doctors too. (After all, the ranks of volunteers are not exactly bulging. Methinks they think this is the best Ad for the Army since Winstin Churchill's "...we shall fight them on the beaches ....).

Whichever, whoever, however ..... Good luck to Harry! 'Cry Havoc' and all that.
