    Was it a military activity that caused the injury?

    If your soldiers aren't coming off most weekends telling those who weren't there "shit mate, you dipped out" then time to cull your training team with prejudice.

    What is the injury and what were you doing at the time?

    Having no knowledge of this subject matter but here's my tuppence worth......

    Think this will fall under the 'UNLUCKY' category.

    Throbbin, I can't see why either the MOD or your employer should be 'responsible' for something that seems to have occurred in your spare time. You are over 18 and they aren't your parents.

    Its been restrained thus far but if you have any more questions, I'd get them in quick before the big boys find this thread and pull the wings off it.

    Hope the knee gets fixed soon.

    If you've had your medical at chilwell then I believe that you do indeed fall into the "very fucking unlucky" category. Thats a very technical term.
