I joined at 16, 23 years ago I've 6 tours of Northern Ireland, 3 of the Balkans, 1 Gulf war, 1 invasion of Iraq and 3 tours of Afghanistan under my belt with no major injury all at the sharp end so to speak so don't worry that much when she does go not that me saying that will help much because you will. My mum refuses to watch the news or read the paper when I'm away in case she see something she doesn't want to, just remember her mates will be there to look after her when she goes away.
