    Pre Deployment Training,

    Mmmmh, try taking stuff you'd want to take on deployment with you, wont go far wrong.

    Get your boss to use some of the leadership / management / initiative skills he was supposed to pick up during training and chase up the joining instructions / signal.

    Hope you don't need to rely on your boss while deployed.

    Good luck, keep head down, etc, etc :cool:

    Darren, Will try to speak to OH over the weekend as he did 6 weeks exercise in Jordan in October 07. Jordan is obviously very hot during the day, but can be cold at night. Take some sunscreen, one of those camelbacks for keeping water in (think they're called this) and lip sunscreen (sounds wierd but you'll be thankful). Also take some decent sunglasses. Will try and get back to you later .
    Me, OH, grown DS, (other DS left home) and Mum (coming up 80!). Considering foster parenting. Hints and tips on saving £ always well received. Xx

    March 1st week £80 includes a new dog bed though £63 was food etc for the week.
