One of a daily series of videos showing a month in the life of Sgt Vanessa Neilson, an RAF Air Traffic Controller in Basra, Iraq. Today she shows us the 'beer garden'
@GoldenChildFFt lol yes ur right hahaha tis amazing how many different words/phrases etc we have and when i speak to my friend in america, he always has a question on something! I think i'll mention this one to him 8D Cheers
@MrCommunismftw one thing to remember about any member of the armed forces from medic to chef is that they are all basically soldiers and so may be called upon regardless of role to one day defend themselves... hence the guns... the taliban like to try and kill our boys and girls you see!
@MrCommunismftw everyone who goes out of area has to do pre deployment training from soldiers to chefs. They are armed for self defence there are a lot of civilians on that base and there is always a risk of kidnap.
hahahahahahaha 1:37 .. does anyboddy know what "fag butts" means? lol sorry I'm American, that might be British terminology, i think that means like a place to put ur ciggarettes when ur done with em, but in Amrica that totally has different meaning.. am i right though?

One question. Why are air traffic controllers carrying L85s. Do they all have to take combat training before being stationed out there?
