Thanks for the welcome, yes I,m still here plodding along as an old Sergeant Major. I will take a look at the post you mention as it seems right up my street. Who are you serving with?. The last American unit I served with was the 82nd Airbourne in IRAQ in 2004. I should have retired in 2007 but could not face working in the civilian world in the UK. Narrow minded bunch. So I,ve signed up for Long Service until 2022 then I can put my old weary feet up.
