Met a Desert Rat yesterday

Yeah they get paid to get to there front door. Thats why you see people walking around in camo even though its not Halloween and you dont live in a student town. Most get the train to there town and a taxi to there house. The army looks after there men really well.

Of course, they need to get rid of their money somehow!

LMAO you think the army give us extra cash to get home on R+R lmao i wish, we have this thing called a wage, then if your lucky you may get a travel warrant, for the train, but thats it.

The lad is in his combats as hes just come from a war zone, landed at brize norton and got a bus to the train station, the last thing on his mind will be getting changed, he will want to get to his wife/gf parents place and chill and drink beer, well thats all i did when i got back.
 
Someone who my Dad works with has a son int eh army. He's a sniper, and, when he's home, him and some other snipers in his platoon(?) aren't allowed to travel in the same car.

Oh dear god, iBot is back.

Why is that? :confused: Is it in case they all get killed in a crash or something?

Yeah, they can't afford to lose that many snipers.

My Dad told me and said "they can't travel in the same car as eachother" so I am actually thinking now that it may mean just in Iraq, not back home.
