How many ex and current serving service personnel have we on SN.

I do not care if you are Army, Navy, Air Force or Coast Guard.

Also what area where you in and what qualifications did you get?

I will start

I rose to the dizy heights of L/CPL in the 3rd Battalion The Queens Regiment,

I was in B Coy, 4 PLT. Platoon, then Company radio Op, GPMG SF Gunner, Signals standard 2 , Snow Cat driver/Mechanic. Was due to do Sea kayak Instructor cadre but Sadam invaded Kuwait so that was canned.

Toured in England, Cyprus and the Falklands, not to mention SBS Terrorist training on the RMS St Tristram in the Med.

Think thats is as I dropped out of sniper training.

I got the explosives medal in Battlefield 2... does that count?
