I too, am due to finish in August and would have all three but the tight-fisted government of the day cut back on the silver jubilee medal so no set for me, either. Perhaps one should write to HMQ and ask her for a special issue

3 in our Regiment got the silver one. The CO, the QM and a corporal who had just been selected to play football for the Corps. The corporal only lasted another 2 years as he got MD for knackered knees. CO was his only bit of bling. At least the QM had NI GSM and LSGC.

Would you like an NDM to go with that?

Yes but does he know that Mr Bronson from Grange Hill is following him?

He must have been in the TA then. 23 SAS maybe? That would explain why even gripper was afraid of him.

The guy behind him was my old RCM with the TA.

At Cold Lake, it was the CO, SWO, and some random hockey player, likely the same on the rest of the Canadian bases.
