Hi, great site. Unfortunately, I feel as if I am a bit of a fraud joining this site. I was only TA, 9 years as a Medic, 8 as a Cook. But spent many years with both TA and Regular units. Last job was as a Brigade funded chef was in Paderborn, with 1 LI at Allenbrooke Barracks ( now 5 Rifles ) spent a year there, did 2 years in Bosnia with the Americans Military, all their civvy chefs were ex Brit Military in various locations as a civvy chef, a year with Queens & Scottish div training Group in Edinburgh Glencorse Barracks , Cooked at 3 different Military Tattoos at Redford Barracks In Edinburgh. Plus various attachments to other units.
All my training was done in the tower at St Omer.
