Re: Ghurkas
A very interesting read.
All the Ghurkas I have worked with have been great people very friendly, and obviously very strong.
The only crticism I could make is that the British Army doesn't treat them as well as they should.
Re: Ghurkas
Those guys and their history have always fascinated me.
I saw brief mention of the 'pension parity' concerns in the article; does anyone know if Ghurkas are paid the same as native-born Brit troops?
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

I believe their pay rates were the same as the old Indian army, which no longer exists. (well, it does, only now its Indian, if you see what I mean)

Re: Ghurkas
Cool article. From it I lave learned/confirmed that average life in Nepal sucks, I am totally out of shape compared to the applicants and dads who are proud of their kids know how to party!
If he gets selected I will have a party. I will have a big goat and chop off its head.

The Gurkhas are fascinating, and it's an interesting article.
