I got you a cake and some beers in honour of your service. Now I`m drunk and on a sugar rush, it`s all your fault so bring me a prezzy back.:D
 
Wow, cheers for all the replys guys! Its getting....interesting now the elections are only a week away. Lots of work for me and the other medics. Im getting lots of parcels and letters to keep moral up and can get on the internet every now and again.

Im now waiting for my R+R dates to come through so can start planning stuff while im at home to see family and friends. Should be around christmas with a bit of luck. Not managed to get any hovis sent out yet but will defo try and get something to add a bit of OcUK to this place! The only bread I have out here is the stuff we are making ourselves in a makeshift oven: a converted 81mm mortar ammo box :D

Anyway thanks again for the messages of support guys, will get some pics up once I am home on R+R. Take it easy guys!

see, you can tell their British with that sort of ingenuity! ;p



But don;t let the yanks see or they'll try and copy your idea!




Not that that's a bad thing, but they'll forget to take the mortar rounds out first :p
 
Missed this thread the first time round, +1 on both of the quotes below :)

Got a mate serving out there, he's meant to be coming back before Christmas - can't imagine the worries all your guys' families go through!
 
Good luck xcept and I hope you stay safe.

Please do your country favour though : Next time Gordon Brown comes over to do one of his propaganda photoshoots, ask him "if the war in Afghanistan is in the nations interests why are no politicans sending there children out to Helmund."

Thanks.

I forgot that parents could order their grown up children to join the armed forces...

To the OP, much respect for what you are doing.:)
 
Keep yourself safe, do yourself proud and try and make the best of the **** storm out there.

Undying gratitude to you and all serving around you.

Well I have just landed in Camp Bastion and managed to finally get the internet working on my laptop! Still pretty warm here at the moment but will start to get A LOT colder in the next few weeks. Can't give too much away but hopefully I will be able to take some pics and get them up here in the next few weeks. Speak to you all soon lads.
