Umm, don't look now, but it's getting to be a habit

It's still nice to see the appreciation of his NCOs
showing clearly on their faces.

And, you'll note that he can't straighten his arms
for a salute or attention pose due to the burn wounds
nor hold his uniform jacket for long.

At ease, Lance Corporal.

Good day Janbaz, Joe and all, Tay.
