Spare a thought at Christmas

[Guest Magwitch]

Been listening to some of the troops who are serving overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan on the radio at work this week. I have nothing but admiration for these young lads and lasses, all very professional and probably the only thing that makes me feel proud to be British at the moment.

I wish them all the best, I would hate to be away for christmas.

I may be joining the army when i turn 18 and the being away from family/friends is the only thing making me think twice about joining.
