What's it like to leave the Army, get a job as a Training Development Officer for a Training Board in Northern Ireland, a beautiful, quiet, peaceful place and have to open the door of a car fifty yards from the border with the Republic which might or might not have a bomb in it triggered to go off when a door is opened? Read and find out! Jack, our hero finds out and then moves on to 'war' with trade unions as a quite different kind of war followed by 16 years fighting Industrial and Employment Tribunals where in one you have to prove a year is 1 January to 1 January and in another you have to prove that a year is 1 Jan to 31st December! Both cannot be right - so which one is it?

So after three and a half years you make it to Mons Officer Cadet School, including two years in a war, only to discover the terrorist who had tried to kill you with a grenade and who, you in return, had tried to shoot, ends up in the bed next to you! What do you do? Advice from the staff to check your bed for a grenade every night before you get into it doesn't really help. Six months of brutality, tiredness, sleeplessness and absolute pressure follow with course attendees dropping like flies. A year at a boys' regiment when he is persecuted for not burning down the Officers' Club follows and his career ends at a tank depot where an insane ex-para has storemen and vehicle specialists pretending to be fit paras. And the final stress is to look after a full general who is a menace to wood and the main contributor to Elastoplast's profit that year! Join our hero, Jack, in this the second of the trilogy and be ready for the third!
