my partner is on the reserve list for the army and this morning we received a letter asking him to do 9 and a half months duty in Iraq starting october 3rd this year. luckily for us he has problems with his knees so will not be going. coincidental though for this happening a week after the london bombings so have no idea what is going to be happening. im just pleased even though i take the mick about his knees that he actually does have a problem with them. just thought i would let people know in case there are some of you on the reserve list. annie (24 left) |

Sorry honey, i think i worded it wrong, please except my apologies if you (any of you) thought i was saying that you wern't being considerate, it is not what i ment, it was a genral 'hats off to the service men' and i'm keeping them all in my thoughts... i miss my friend alot, my mum and dad were in the forces too and nobody wants our men or women away from home! xxxx |

I thought I read in the papers at the weekend that the UK and the USA had plans to withdraw their troops from Iraq shortly - so does that mean that the full-timers will come home and the reservists will go in their place? I sincerely hope not. Jacqui |
