Without his seatbelt on (or shirt or head-dress, wouldn't be surpised if he had been smoking as well)!!!

Good look to the boy tho', and after Ms Minogues comments

then he should ask for an intro to her older sister (she must be gagging for it now after getting rid of the frog)!!

Say it again - good luck fella!

Don't think he's got the chops to go all the way but good luck to him. The only thing is if he wins will the army release him?

There was a lad at my last unit, better singer, etc, who asked if he could go on the Sh1te Factor.

CoC laughed at him for 10 minutes and then said no.

This is a good idea - at least it shows a human side to the Army. When I was in, most civvies were surprised when they found out you got weekends and evenings off

It's good publicity and I'm sure the lads in his unit are happy to have something to wind him up about, too.

As per S.O.P I am jumping in to these threads quite late.

I saw the the squaddie on X-Factor on saturday also. Thought he was ok...nothing particularly special.

As for calling him a bullet dodger, I have met plenty people throughout the army who run off for months on end to pursue activities from a diverse range of activities to ski-ing for a season in France to playing musical instruments. This boy has done 2 tours in Iraq...more than a lot of of people on here I reckon so cut him a bit of slack and let him enjoy the experience.

He obviously had the support of his unit...would be good publicity for the Army as a whole I reckon as well.

i know i did say that comment was a bit harsh of me after seeing the clip.
