Does that chip on you shoulder affect your balance?

Those that deployed on ELLAMY (and those that supported from UK) did an excellent job. No it isn't Afghan; but, then again, hanging out at the board-walk in KAF is hardly the same as patrolling in NES-N. There really is no need to keep rolling out how 'special' Afghan is.

HM the Queen has agreed that the medal can be worn by UK personnel, so get over it.

Nice one and well put!

I, for one, will be looking forward adding this one to my busy collection of bling and will take pleasure letting it sparkle to a few tour-dodging contemporaries at functions.
 
I don't think NATO medals sparkle (I only have the ISAF medal - which can't be worn; but, I think they are all the same metal).

Just a word of warning (to avoid being punched at the bar) a lack of medals doesn't necessarily indicate tour-dodging - the other chap/chapess may have done numerous tours of Falklands or Gulf with no medalic recognition.
 
Absolute disaster, i nearly cried. I didn't like the sound of Ellamy though..

and i'm used to roughing it on Rotary..

lol!

True and I appreciate being kindly reminded that I was denied a gong for Op TELIC despite spending almost a year in Qatar with the Goldstars.

Although took a while to finally award the gong i think it is the correct decision and fully justified. I spent 3 months in Gioa, eating the crap lunches, crap dry 5hr old hotel food during the 14 hr days. Once the cooks turned up the food was better and a god send. 99.9% of the squadron had the squirts and sickness in the first few weeks. Ok it wasn't under IDFs however the Italian driving was up there. And b4 any one moans i have deployed to Iraq 2x, including the 07 rocket tour....and afghan 2x and 3rd tour next May. I worked harder and longer in Gioa then i did in Iraq or Afghan, however they were much more nerve racking tours then Ellamy. :PDT_Xtremez_28:
 
I've just been on ARRSE and they are foaming at the mouth over there about this medal. It's quite funny some of the misinformed nonsense that's written about the RAF on that site.
 
like most of our Brown Jobs musings on such things merely put the words 'A load of' in front of that particular site.

There are a hell of alot of Walter Mitty style SF REMF's on that site who really boil my ****.
