I didn't attend his funeral but wrote a nice letter saying I approved of it.
In a fraction of a second they are projected into eternity and will never possess a final resting home.
They have graves without bodies, they are an exceptional breed of people....
It is an utmost proudness of myself to have met these men, those lords that I salute, praise and admire.

Perhaps the MoD RSS grown-ups have noticed that too, 'cos the Op's link has now been pulled. Originally Posted by Seaweed

Thanks for that Rob, Originally Posted by Naval_Gazer

rather than repeating the OP's 'tanker' error noted above by Trehorn.

You know exactly what i mean! Never was an operation IMO. I certainly never told anyone it was, a little embarrassing really when you consider the lads getting shot up in Afghan. Originally Posted by SJRM_RN Is Operation KIPION no longer an Operation then?
Have you informed Fleet about this?
If the lads sitting in Nandos each night, with piss up brunches on the weekend is classed as operational, then they are misguided. Equally doing a route survey off of Qatar isn't exactly taxing is it? It it a load of cock waving in the Middle East, pure and simple. If it is operational then why did the MOD take down the official photos of the lads doing hands to bathe, the same day as two Royals got smacked?
I assume you have never done that Barhain merry go round? If you had you would be in agreement and certainly wouldn't be Mutley when it came to receiving a chocolate medal.
As if Fleet would listen to a SR anyway......Dum Spiro Spero
