    Not Fit to deploy but still in the army?

    i know of two infantrymen who have told me they are both unfit to deploy in afghan (bad knees, cracked ribs ect) but are still in the army, why are they still in if they cant be deployed, wouldnt they be discharged? can they be deployed somewhere else, and are banned from afghanistan due to the intensity of fighting ,or banned from all operations?

    Cracked ribs usually heal and knees can sometimes be fixed with an operation aswell. No point in booting someone out just because they will be out of action for a few months or so.
    I hope all the politicians who were depressed and stressed because they got caught fiddling expenses are feeling better after their 3 months off.

    I bet the lads in Afghanistan were worried sick about them.

    Not very spirited is it, binning someone because they are undeployable ? Aside from the fact that the very nature of the ailment may be existent as a result of operations..

    I was P7 for a year, I even missed a tour, I didnt weep, I banged out 4 days a week running an RP shift and spent the other 3 tomming a grungey barmaid from Weymouth and sending 'from he to she' mailorder gender reassignment catalogues to the boys..

    Depends on their medical history, depends what is actually wrong with them. I know a person who, in the past, was deemed unfit to do a tour in NI (IIRC he was graded P7, HO NNI). After bending the ear of the RSM and Adjt about deploying in a TAC HQ role was fecked off at the high port and told to enjoy rear party. He missed out in getting ACSM medal by 30 odd days, such is life.

    I was ordering them all the time on Agricola, a lad was waiting for mail for ages and he went apoplectic when a big shiny white envelope gave up its prize of a brochure adorned with a fat bloke sat in lingerie with a crap wig on..

    Re: Not Fit to deploy but still in the army?

    knew a sgt got an interview with the int corp about the dangers of mail order brides from russia
    his wife had just left him and the lads were just trying to help
    On a Hot morning in cyprus I found the meaning of anger. Fortunataly I was comftably numb.
    The RSM and various other NCO's seemed very agitated.
    maybe they should look into counselling?
