I expect to her the usual comments regarding such an article.

 

I dunno, they come over here being awarded our awards...

 

Well done that man..I mean imam..:salut:

 

Good for him. He's done a good job so why not reward him?

 

At least the Navi knows that Mecca is not just a dance hall!

 

Like to see him in rig wearing it?

I dont think he is actually a member of the armed forces hence no rig.

 

Is he not a servings sky pilot like the rest of them then?

Is he getting paid by the mob?

Is he joint service?

Or is he a civil servant?

Just seems a bit weird that different rules seem to be applied here?

I think that certain relgions (Muslim, Sikh etc) are honorary part time workers and not in the mob per se, unlike the christian Bish's.

 

I think they are almost advisors to the MOD. Where would you draft a muslim, jewish, buddhist, sikh bish too. They are hardly mainstream religions in the armed forces.

 

Would seem I was right as to commissioned bish's, although unlike the Army and crabs, they don't hold a rank as such but assume the rank of the person they're talking to though they are victualled in the wardroom..http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-events/reference-library/~/media/files/navy-pdfs/news-and-events/naval%20publications/br%203/br3book/ch31.pdf

 

Para 3117 emergency burial.

Never knew that!
