Unfortunately, the preparations are unbelievably expensive. Finding Ahmed under a 15-story after a 2,000 kg bomb has obliterated it's entire foundations and the bunker he was hiding in is quite difficult. Then it's the process of identifying which bits are Ahmed and which bits are his bodyguards, and made all that more urgent to bury him before the sun goes down.

On a totally different tack how many habits from the navy have you continued on in civvy street . There are the obvious ones like never being late but some of the more obscure habits like wearing thongs in public showers etc.

I remember ironing a shipmates collar while he was wearing it on the Perth...I touched the nape of his neck (accidently of course) and he promptly headbutted the locker in front of him....just sayin' :badgrin:
