Blog: Explanations

Compulsive re-readers of my story who possess an eagle eye would have noticed that S'Alor is now described as a Smilodean NOT a Simian. I NEVER intended to suggest that he had any monkey features... :-)

Some words and phrases that have been queried:

  1. Cadre - Training team (pronounced card-ra)
  2. Sand-Box - Normally Iraq (aka Down-range)
  3. Paras - In this case "The Parachute Regiment"
  4. P-Course - more properly P-Week, the parachute selection and training course in the British Army
  5. RIFd - Reduction in Force (made a verb). i.e. made redundant/fired
  6. IED - improvised explosive device
