The British Army's fraternization policy prohibits relationships between soldiers and their superiors or between soldiers of differing ranks to maintain discipline and good order within the ranks. It aims to prevent favoritism, conflicts of interest, and potential issues that could arise from personal relationships affecting professional duties.

Commanders are encouraged to exercise discretion and judgment in enforcing these guidelines.

The uniform of a Sergeant Major in the British Army typically consists of a dark blue or green tunic with distinctive insignia, including rank badges on the sleeve and often a lanyard on the shoulder.

The Sergeant Major's uniform is completed with polished boots and specific decorations or medals that reflect their service and achievements. Overall, the attire is designed to convey authority and professionalism within the military hierarchy.

HM Forces does not yet 'blanket' screen people from the UK for HIV status. The Army has made it a policy of offering voluntary HIV, Hepatitis & syphilis investigation to those commonwealth recuits who are joining from African nations & areas that are know to be endemic with HIV infection. However, this is by no way compulsory. I personally, as an Australian Commonwealth recruit in 2004, was never offered a HIV test. I would agree with the original poster.... HM Forces would benefit in re-thinking this policy in regards to it's recruitment of ALL personnel into the Forces.

Because of the nature of Crohns disease it may stay in remission long enough to serve out your hitch but don't count on it. Crohns can flare up anytime and stress is a big factor. Army doctors will have access to the latest meds used to control the symptoms but it is not curable. You will want to know where every latrine is during a flare up and it will disrupt your daily routines at the most inappropriate times.

Check out the link for a US Army Staff Sargent with Crohns.

Washingtons acquiring of General Von Stueben made a big balls change in the training of American troops. the vanquish of british troops helpped the American army with guns and supplies which were in short supply. so, in some way the british helped supply the American forces..........

and that's all. oh yeah
