At long last I've managed to finish this tale with an extra long chapter. Do remember it is a work of fiction by someone who has no contact with the military, other than funding them as a tax payer. It's a piece of nonsense with the occasional germ of truth here and there.

No disrespect is meant to any group or individuals anywhere and if I got details wrong, remember it is just a story written by an old woman(though she wasn't as old when it started) and two cats. I hope both my readers enjoy it, though go for a wee first, it is longer than usual.

PS I've just realised it's taken me over nine years to finish it, almost as long as it took Brahms to write his first symphony!
