And yeah, it does suck a little. Gotta have a reconstruction in August, which will be interesting. Then it's all the physio of recovery.
The Para's hopefully. Last time I applied for Ammo Tech with a view to doing P company after I had done high threat EOD course (which would have been 8 years making assumptions I passed all the testing and what not). Life is too short though and I have always wanted to be in the Para's. Even more so after reading 3 Para by Patrick Bishop and the follow up book to that, Ground Truth...well worth a read if you're into that sort of thing.

I must say though - one thing that annoyed me during the last application process was the amount of poeple who spoke about when I leave the army...I hadn't even started and I was expecting to be thinking about leaving. Obvioulsy understandable if I was a 16 year old and had a wet dream over firing a gun but I am not!
