Hello Stephen and welcome.
Good luck with your tour of duty in the British Army and thanks for your service.
Coops you say? I'd be careful who you train with, some of the real old men will make a lot of claims...is this guy kind of funny looking, losing his hair, always has a rather odd expression on his face?
LOL...just kidding, Martin is a good Joe (even with that damn odd expression), you're lucky to have him as a personal tutor.
