Thanks, there isnt enough advertising of these sorts of programs.

I find it interesting it focused on people who all ended up leaving the regiment/forces and took a lot of time to listen to them go on about why they didnt want to be in.

I did enjoy the bit with the bloke complaining about the funding and equipment shortages, stick it to them I say!

Thanks

Good luck with the commission you will need lots of energy as you can see from that programme

Interested to think what the more experienced forum members make of it as well?
