Re: Sorry, but...
"Have you ever met service personnel?"
A few NCOs who were ex-IED displosal. Great guys.
Also been in a few situations where an armed escort was necessary.
OTOH my last week in forensic science started with 2 days flying over to Fort George to give evidence against a squaddie who'd broken into the NAAFI. They thought they were being considerate with the extra day but I could have done with that day in the office finishing off my writing up. It also reminded me that it's unwise to go drinking with Army sergeants, especially SIB.
