You may recall that I posted in May that our oldest was blown up by an IED in Afghan just prior to the end of his second 6 month deployment.
The status is that he is now mended and looking forward to properly getting back to work in the next few weeks.
The army have come up with a couple of excellent options for him moving forward - he has a couple of weeks to think about them & he/we are happy with both.
The sense of humour that has come through this is amazing. There are a whole variety of unofficial uniform badges - the most polite being "I survived IED" & "Ian 1, Taliban 0"
That's it really - there is a whole bunch more stuff that I'd like to be able to share, but .................
Finally, many thanks for all the kind words/PMs at the time they were much appreciated.
Thanks - Rob

That's fantastic news Rob, send your son my best regards. I am delighted everything worked out positively. I hope there are no long term or permanent injuries but then that he is still allve is all that really matters.
It's stories like these that make you proud to be part of the best corps in the world, the Royal Army Medical Corps. One thing you probably don't know is that the British miliary hospital in Bastion is the world leader in trauma medicine. Better than Israel, USA and any other hospital in Iraq or Afghan.
Better still, a large part of the doctors and nurses who work there are either TA or work in the NHS on a full time basis so the nation benefits from their knowledge and experience gained in hostile areas.
Like I have said previously Rob, if you ever need anything just shout :y

My son started his career in the RAF yesterday so guess I'm going to get all the worries as soon as he's completed his basic training and gets his first posting. :-/

Half the issue is getting through basic training. Some units have an 80% drop out rate :(
