And in view of his recent book -which had to be written for him - he should be damn well ashamed as he has now brought added security risks to his father's Coronation - if Charles is his father, and there's doubt about that.

I feel he made the comment to enhance his chance at getting the IPP security status he has demanded the last couple of years. If they get it, they will also get diplomatic immunity, so they can't be sued. That would be handy for people who tell lies; there is also something fishy going on in their financial dealings in the US according to some reports. Imagine having that 'immunity' if investigated? Meagain's sister is suing her for Defamation later this year in the US, can you imagine what would come out in the 'Discovery' phase of the Court case? IPP status may save that happening. I have always believed Charles will pull strings with the Judges to make sure they get that IPP.

As someone who went through AOSB almost 20 years ago and passed, I don't buy this. The system is robust, exacting and looks at many facets. Where you went to school, how well spoken you are etc, do not come into it. Your ability to problem-solve, communicate, think on your feet, plan, your fitness, determination and resilience do. At the time I was a non-grad with a South London accent who went to a state secondary school in the middle of a massive council estate. All my tattoos are spelled correctly though. What I have found is that privately educated people often do well because they have been better taught to communicate clearly from an early age and tend to be physically robust because their schools place a greater value on sports and outdoor education than most state schools do.

The exact same way other military pilots pilot and fire the weapons of their aircraft at the same time. He multitasked, a vital and necessary skill in military combat pilots. Both crew members in the Apache helicopter are fully qualified pilots and both seats have full flying and weapon systems controls. The front seat is the Co-pilot who normally also operates the weapon systems. The rear seat is the Commander (senior pilot). All pilots begin their Apache helicopter careers as the Co-pilot in the front seat. Nobody is allowed anywhere near the cockpit of the advanced and complex Apache until and unless they have qualified as an above average pilot on a normal helicopter. Harry did a 4 month tour in Afghanistan as an Apache Co-pilot in 2012.

[@coaxkid4747]

No such job as Apache rear Gunner. The job title is Co Pilot/ Weapons . The Pilot who sits in the front seat flys the aircraft. The co Pilot who sits behind him fires the guns and can take over the flying of the aircraft if the front pilot is wounded. No pilot would fly an Apache in a war Zone with an untrained passenger. On any campaign a soldier can serve alongside the Gurkas it depends on the deployment. I do not know what you mean Firefighter Pilot?.

[@coaxkid4747]

Update I got that wrong the Pilot/Gunner sits in the front and the Pilot who is flying the apache sits in the back. Both crewmen are trained Pilots and both may have other skills. The senior of the two decides which role to take before a flight depending on the skill required to complete a mission. I am ex military but when i served Apaches were only found in the Wild West.

[@barryalexander2909]

There is not an exam for promotion to Major. There is a series of three Military Education courses (Military Analysis) which are each completed as a week-long block in an Army Education Centre. Performance is graded, and these are not 'pass/fail', but areas for improvement are given. Then there is a series of online learning courses that are really not difficult to pass. Primary criteria for selection to Major is through recommendations made in the annual appraisal report and board selection for the 'Beige' List. Once promoted, officers attend the Intermediate Command and Staff Course (7 months of residential professional Military education). If the system is as loaded in Harry's favour as commenters have suggested it was for AOSB and pass out of RMAS, then why would it not be similarly loaded in his favour for promotion to Major? As usual, a lot of ill-informed comment and assumption/aspersions on here. End of career stage 1 (senior Capt) is a natural and common point at which many officers leave. Unless his appraisal report was leaked, only a few people will know what recommendations he received and only he will really know why he left.
