Heading back to sunny Kandahar in Aug this year for another tour wife aint too happy Its not the location that makes or brakes a tour....... its the people you meet and work with, the banter, the laughs. the tears. We are a special breed of individuals, members and x members of the armed forces worldwide. Even after 23 years service, I am still immensely proud to be a member of a selective organisation or band of individuals including the coalition forces I have worked with over the years. A mighty salute RustyRifle 1 Awards

And thanks for your service. I was looking through some old emails I had received from my sisters boyfriend who was a medic in a "classified" operation a few years ago and just thought I'd share. Sorry for blacking out the faces and the names of these fine men who served. But I felt it was best to do this. Here are some RPG's they found on a sweep of a town and the supervised detonation of them.
