If my memory serves me right, we used to get 5 days R & R on 4 month tours of operational service and this went up to 10 days R & R for 6 month tours of duty. I was wondering how much R & R the guys get for 6 month tours of duty today in Afghan etc? I hope it is more as they certainly deserve it.
I always knew you had it cushy Paul, I cant remember having 10 days more like 4??:notworthy: I must have been conned
Hello Benny,
I wasn't aware you did any 6 month operational tours. lol. Are you sure you were not always on rear party, bank rolling all the bars?
Two weeks i think brov
Nasher you owe me a few days then, because when we were in Derry during op cara cara, you only gave me two days and they had to be spent in Ballykelly Camp.

Mac, I remember coming back from our R n R in Belfast 81, You could'nt get any more cans of Bow and Clarks pies in my bag. The same tour that Nasher had all his teeth out. Lots of pain if i remember rightly.
