Lovely lol all this time I was worried about Harry now I'll be worrying over William. Hopefully by then Harry will also be busy that way I can worry about both of them.

Its interesting to me, that Harry and William are going to fight seperatly. Harry got back home, now they are sending William... Why were they not sent at the same time?

The MOD announcement just says "overseas." That gives them a very wide berth.

He is likely to be deployed on a tour to the Persian Gulf or Indian Ocean in support of British forces fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The Pacific Ocean, the West Indies or the South Atlantic are also potential options.

That doesn't really sound nearly as dangerous. I also don't think they would need the same level of secrecy.

A lot harder to release stories and pictures from a ship!

Because, unlike the rest of the cannon fodder, they would not risk both, at the same time.

Skydragon, what do the seniority dates mean? With the way this appears what would mean soonest time he could recueve his first promotion?

I guess, if they think they can do this. But I doubt whatever William is sent to do will be dangerous in anyway...I know the guy on Good Morning America got a lot of flack for saying so but they just can't risk William like they can with Harry.
