Hiya, My advice would be to speak to your boss first before going to Welfare. I can't really see a welfare issue in your case, to be honest. I know that's not what you want to hear, sorry :( Being so new in the army would be a disadvantage on being sent home I would imagine as being away from home ...

Rest in Peace Henry Allingham. A lovely, lovely man. I'm honoured to have met him several times. A sweetheart and a very cheeky monkey

Here's to your cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women

He'll really appreciate it. Hope he starts perking up. Hubs got home in April and had to be weaned off of Haribo

Hiya, A shoebox or something similar will do. You don't need a special box for it. Needs to weigh no more than 2kgs - they used to give a bit of leeway but they really don't now so weigh it before you go to the Post Office if you can.

He's got a cheek, plays a civil rights leader in 'Bloody Sunday' now a squaddie!

He's an actor - and, incidently, a very good guy (from a personal point of view)

I'm finding it a bit too BBC for me.........

I'm not sure about the RAF or having had cancer before joining but my hubby's colleague had testicular cancer whilst serving and is still serving now on full and normal duties - actually just picked up his third stripe on his return from Afghanistan. I'd be surprised (and appalled) if they have a bl...

Stay safe Stinky, see you on the other side

Welcome home. Hubby came home last week
