A tad confusing, both are called Andrew for some reason However Andy was CO 1 para. Andrew was CO 3 PARA and later became Brig 1 Mech Brigade.
Hope that clears things up

Andrew being the Officer in question

If you only met him once then you never had the pleasure of serving under him. Dan :)
From the feed back from those that served under him, all have a differing opinion of someone with a Jackal and hide nature who was dangerous. I wont use half of the words used about him, but im sure not all who ...

sneaky beaky, if you want I know someone who could get your original Para jumps record card for you.

I would just like to point out that I am not now nor have ever been TA SAS. As in the Artist Rifles. My monicker is taken as it's what I do for a living nowadays. I Paint Pictures and stuff for money.

As Sneaky says the RM and the Paras are not SF. Even if the Mod say they are. SF forces when I ...

when was you last in the mob Sneaky? BPC (Basic Parachute Course). first started in Ringway Manchester 1944. :D now at RAF Brize Norton

As for normal RM guys, Career Management has changed drastically in the last 17 years. after Options for Change IIP, Budget Target, ect ect. The bean counters came ...

Sneaky, I know many an SB lad all good eggs, who's career would be effected through no fault of their own at Brize on the BPC.

True, He may have become injured during his career that would have had him marking time until back to full fitness. Parachuting is not a 100% safe Employment Qual in the Army.

I have personally seen a soldiers career in ruins just because he made a joke about the OCs No 2s fitting him "like a ...

I think you will find he is "now" 36 Sneaky. This happened 6 years ago. He has been fighting the system for what happened to his family. If he was working the system he would have been out on his backside by now. QRs are very clear. He is still serving and a Sgt I believe.

I would look more closly ...

a bit off indeed

From what i can see he only became a waste of space when he dared to stand up to the Chain Of Command against a decision by his OC that this guy proved was wrong. what do most companies do in the private sector when someone sticks his head above the parapet when their right and ...

Hi guy n girls
