Five
– Afghanistan
– Iraq (guys babysitting the diplomats)
– East Timor
– Solomon Islands
– Persian Gulf/Horn of Africa, Various naval vessels.

Those are just the ones with 100+ troops, there are quite a few more if you count smaller deployments.

Well, you learn something new every day!

Interesting. 😀

I wonder if I should go the “naval” route, given that I live in Plymouth.

Naaa.

Invincible and Harrier, sounds good to me.

Whenever a car is driven around corners through towns the wheels screech and when a car does a perfectly safe stop it’s tyres will screech but wheels carry on turning ok.

I’ve always thought the Fenestron tail rotor improved the Helicopter’s cruise performance.

Sell them on to Iraq, I’m sure they’d welcome a proven interceptor into their new Air Force.

Get rid of those civvie serials and give them what they really deserve, military serials!

Over the last week I’ve driven around Odiham a couple of times and noticed the Chinooks seemed to be flying around quite a bit. Are they practising for an up and coming deployment or is this just standard ops?

The job centre deciding that I’m not allowed my JSA because, despite me actively looking for work, I’m not allowed to be unavailable at the same time. So, am I not allowed to take a short break??

Not only that, but they fail to adequately inform me that my JSA is going to be suspended!

So I have been three weeks without getting my JSA. Nice one.

In February the work I’d been getting through 3 driving agencies I was signed up with completely stopped. After 3 weeks of b*llsh*t from my local job centre I decided that claiming JSA wasn’t actually worth it for the amount of times I was expected to attend interviews/assessments/discussions etc meant I was spending a fortune in petrol!
The Government say unemployment is about 2.4 million but I imagine there to be about 1 million people who don’t show as unemployed as they know how difficult it is to claim any JSA so they simply don’t bother!!!
