No matter what his role I guess he will have access to live ammunition. I had a friend who worked as an engineer in the army, and he was fully arms trained. I never thought it appropriate to asked him if he'd ever killed a man, though I always wanted to

I might have abit of banter on a forum but when it comes to work I'm nothing but serious.

Obviously having access to weapons and ammunition you have to be personally responsible. I would like to think that anyone in the armed forcs would not abuse their position.

One of my marine colleagues from Batley lol decided to bring home a live grenade from Musa Qala! And rightly so was disciplined!

I didn't suggest you talk to your Rupert, I suggested you talk to either your senior NCO or your (marine equivalant) RSM .
