Dronny Owl Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Anyone know if staff sgt Karl,who just got the George medal is Wednesdayite,would love to think he was. What a lovely guy,an inspiration. Yes he is a WEDNESDAYITE and what a bloke he is. I too am in the Army but i could never do his job (bomb disposal) i think he diffused something like 140+ devices in 6 months. I take my hat off to them ATO boys. They are real heros.

Saxondale Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 What a man. Got to have some MASSIVE knackers to even think about doing that job. They should be on more money as should anyone serving in a war zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it said 136 devices without the full EOD suit Yes - he was presented to the crowd at a home match earlier this year (forgot which one) but when the announcer said the amount of devices diffused (more than anyone else in the British Army) even the away supporters rose to their feet and applaud. We own a great deal of gratiitude to all people of the Armed Forces & their families. BTW - what regiment are you a Sargeant in Dronny ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be on more money as should anyone serving in a war zone. They are on a LOT more money than the average soldier, which they deserve. However i do know from experience of serving with these boys they don't do it for the cash, They are a different breed and calibre of men. They are given loads of respect by all other serving members of the forces, and rightly so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
