In recognition for my service to the country

[Highway Man]

Nice little touch from the MOD. Shows that they value me and all of the other Veterans who have served their country. Actually I have been out for 4 years now so would have thought I would have had this before now!!!

Out on civvy street for four years? And served 9 years in the Army? How did you manage to do a (war time) tour during the Iraqi conflict? I thought the last British troops left there in 2011 whereas combat operations ended in 2009...

Annoyingly there are Veteran badges being sold commercially so our badges are not unique

Not challenging your service but this from mod site

“Veterans badges are sent out automatically when someone leaves the armed forces. So if you’ve left recently, you do not need to apply. You should get your badge within 2 months.”

He claims to have done a combat tour of Iraq. Four years out of the army and nine years in means he was a raw recruit 2012.

Combat operations in Iraq ended in 2009. All troops were gone by 2011.

He also claims to have done a degree course at Hull university and passed his test in a Ford escort estate, whilst in the Army...?

You seem a bit obsessed with him mate, I think hes married, try notch he loves the co.ck

He claimed to have fought in the Iraqi war. Yet he says he's been out of the Army four years having done a nine years stint. Combat troops left Iraq in 2009.

"I also did a tour in Iraq. so really your question is a bit odd as I fought in two seperate wars 3 times but was deployed in many other conflicts.."

Something does not add up.
