Think me mate has one of the worst jobs for this christmas, he is serving in Afghan with JFEOD - Joint Forces Exlposive Ordnance Disposal Unit.
He has the joyous task of flying in with the RAF and running a hand held X Ray device over anyone that has been shot or hit before they are allowed on board.
This is irrespective of their medical needs and how life threatening their injuries are. Bear in mind this can be and often is while they are still under enemy attack.
If their are two many casualties, he and his 4man infantry fire team will be left behind to continue the good fight until there is another chopper available to extract. Their only blessing is the US will provide aerial support in the guise of an Apache attack helicopter.
Personally I will be eating Turkey and watching my kids unwrap their presents this christmas safe in the knowledge our troops are trying to destroy the drugs that are produced in Afghan.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
