Welcome, Doc. Every unit needs a medic, and we're proud to have you. Any Bud of Rob's is a Bud of ours. I assume you're a Scot, also?

Ben, can you be patient with this ignorant Yank and decipher your unit abbreviations for me? I'm not familiar with the Brit Militarese. I'm guessing that the RAMC is the Royal Army Medical Corps, but what is the TA that you were in and the LI that you were attached to for 4yrs.?

Thanks, Doc.

Hi Frisco

LI = Light Infantry

Thanks, Doc. Is a Territorial Army like a local Reserve or Guard unit? As a medic in the Light Infantry, were you a platoon medic in a rifle company? All infantrymen practically worship our medics. Try to protect them and take good care of them in the field.

Once again, WELCOME DOC welc. .

the Territorial Army, is a national reserve, but due to all the cut backs the forces have suffered since the end of WWII thay are called on more and more to go and fight.

so for the term reserve, you sould read Re Serve.
