    "Platoon Commander Captain Andy Bell said:

    "Larubi is always cheerful and happy to help with everything, with a real laid-back attitude - he takes things in his stride. He is also a very experienced soldier, with this being his third tour of Afghanistan.

    "This was definitely a close shave, but he dealt with it in his usual laid-back style.""

    I think the Boss is trying to make a point here Lance Corporal!

    Brummie joke During the war, a British General visited an Army Hospital of the South Staffordshire Regiment.
    Sensing a doom and gloom atmosphere he tried to rally the men by asking "Now you men didn't come here to die did you?"
    To which Aynuk and Ayli replied " Na sur, way booth coomd ere yesterdie."

    They wouldn't have seen him if he was using an issued helmet cover.

    Well this certainly is breaking news. I can't believe the enemy shot at a bloke twice on stag! Anyone would think we're in Afghanistan or something!

    It's cause he's got scrim on his helmet. The MoD have said it's not to be worn as you are likely to die on your first tour.
