    Draft is the Navy term for a posting.

    Yes Loved it.

  • Thanks Islandannie,

    My husband would second that. He had a 4 mth det to Naples he said it stinks!
    The surrounding areas are nice though. He had leave and we met up in Rome, a bit further afield but worth it.
    The wines great too!
  • Thanks for the info,

    We have put in for Italy, if we don't get it we are tempted to put in for Gibralter. we will have to wait and see what happens!

    Gibs a dump!! no contest at all.

    The housing in Gib is at best.... very poor. It's like a run down council estate.

    It's a fair few years since I was there last but I cant see how much would have changed.

    Was there myself about 10 years ago, its changed a bit.

    Have got a very good friend who is just about to come back to the UK after 3 year tour in Naples. Anything specific you want to know just ask & I,ll give him a shout.:D
