Homecoming is here! Welcome home to all of our 7th Armoured Brigade ‘Desert Rats’ that have already 

arrived, and to those that will be arriving later this month. In this issue we have ‘Homecoming How-To’, 

a helpful guide through the range of emotions that can occur around homecoming time, with a special section 

on how children handle homecoming at different ages. Did you know that there is a special homecoming 

DVD that you can rent too? It is available to borrow from your Unit Welfare Offices, libraries, and HIVEs. 

Our final Garrison Op HOME RAT park trip was to Wildpark Lüneburger Heide in September, so check 

out the photos in the next issue of Heide Magazine. Next month we will also feature photos of some of 

the homecoming parades. Finally, best of luck to those elements of 16 Tank Transporter Regiment, based in 

Fallingbostel Station, that are deploying on Op HERRICK 15! 

Have a great month!

Foreword Brigadier Paul Nanson MBE, Commander 7 th Armoured Brigade 

It’s a real pleasure to be 

finally writing a foreword that 

contains an article entitled 

‘Homecoming How-To!’ By the 

time you read this we will have 

already welcomed back the 

first flights from Afghanistan 

and there will be a definite 

‘light at the end of the tunnel’ 

feel about the place. I visited 

Theatre in August and managed 

to see most of our units – they 

were all in excellent form; tired 

but buoyant after a hugely 

successful summer. They were 

all obviously looking forward to 

coming home. 

I did promise to ensure you were the first to know of any significant updates 

regarding the implications of last year’s Strategic Defence and Security 

Review (SDSR). As you know, SDSR marked the start of transforming Defence 

to meet the challenges of the future aiming for a coherent and affordable 

Defence capability for 2020 and beyond. More recently a Review has been 

conducted to fully close the gap between the cost of Defence and the money 

available to deliver it. This has resulted in a number of announcements 

which will mean changes for you and your family. I realise this has caused 

much uncertainty and I thought I would use this opportunity to share what I 

know about the three issues which are causing you most concern. 

rebasing: On 18 July 2011 the Secretary of State gave a statement to the 

House of Commons on Defence Transformation, stating that the two Multi- 

Role Brigades currently based in Germany would move back to Scotland, 

centred on Kirknewton, south-west of Edinburgh, and the East Midlands in 

England, centred on Cottesmore. So what does that mean for us? I stress 

that it has not been finally decided which Brigade will go where, but the 

planning assumption is that 7 th Armoured Brigade will move to Scotland. The 

reason for this is that 7 Brigade finishes in Afghanistan before 20 Brigade 

(HERRICK 19 v HERRICK 20), and so will be available to move first. Since 

the political direction is that Scotland be occupied first, it is a relatively 

safe assumption – but not a certainty – that we will be based north of 

the border. In Scotland, units will be moved into Glencorse, Caledonia, 

Albemarle Barracks (in Northumberland) and eventually Arbroath, as it is 

intended to bring the bulk of the Royal Marines together in the south-west 

of England. Two major units and a formation HQ will be based at Leuchars – 

the former RAF Station. ‘When’ we are likely to move remains unclear, but I 

can report that it will not be before we complete HERRICK 19, so not before 

the Summer of 2014 – but again I stress this is a planning yardstick. 

In other moves you should be aware that Trenchard Barracks, and therefore 

Celle Station, will close in 2013. 2 RRF will be the last battalion in that 

barracks although some quarters will be retained and absorbed into Hohne 

Station. Additionally, we have just been informed that 1 Med Regt will now 

move to Hohne next summer. 

allowances: The cuts to allowances have 

hit us all hard. I think we all understand why 

the cuts are needed and please rest assured 

that I represent your concerns up the chain 

of command. I do remain committed to 

ensuring that, whilst we continue to serve in 

Germany, the ‘offer’ reflects the challenge 

that living away from the UK brings with it, for 

us and our families. It is difficult – there is 

no more money, and our senior officers have 

to balance ever decreasing resources with 

a multitude of demands. I can report that, 

whilst there are no new cuts, some of the 

changes are now coming into effect. Soldiers 

returning from operations will notice a drop 

in monthly income as operational allowances 

cease. I would ask you all to plan ahead and, 

if necessary, ask Welfare Staff or Regimental 

Accountants about where to find financial 

advice. There is no more news on pensions 

or Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA); I 

will keep you posted. 

redundancy: A number of soldiers will have 

been made redundant in the recent first 

tranche announcements. They will now be 

assisted to transition into civilian life and, rest 

assured, they will get the full support of the 

Brigade. There are, as I am sure you are well 

aware, more redundancies to come and the 

recent announcement of a further cut to the 

Army’s regular cohort means that the details 

of the next tranche will now not be available 

until January 2012. Again, as soon as the 

information is known, I will pass it on. 

On the home front we are now making 

excellent progress on the new briefing centre 

and cinema for Fallingbostel, which should 

open for Christmas, as well as the swimming 

pool cover in Hohne which will be ready early 

next year. And as the troops return, we are 

delighted to have our new online travel guide 

for the Garrison up and running on WikiTravel 

– more on all this in the magazine. Finally, 

in this October issue, I have asked that we 

continue my push on information concerning 

the medical system and, on a lighter note, 

I trust articles on the Duke of York’s visit to 

9 th /12 th Lancers and the Op HOME RAT trip 

to Serengeti Park will provide you with some 

colour to brighten up the autumn weather 

and bring back some memories of summer 

in the Garrison.

Coffee with the Commander 

Brigadier Paul Nanson MBE, Commander of 7 th Armoured Brigade, visited 4 SCOTS (The Highlanders) to meet 

some of the families of deployed and Rear Ops Group (ROG) soldiers at a coffee afternoon in late summer, demonstrating his commitment 

to families and soldiers across the Brigade. “It was nice to meet him,” said Tracey Ferguson, whose five-month old son was six weeks old 

when his father deployed. “I’d never met the Commander before.” Emma Duncan agrees, saying, “We talked about family and how long 

I’ve been here, and what we’re going to do [as a family] when we go back to the UK.” Brigadier Nanson made a point of meeting every spouse 

who attended the event, 

chatting to them about 

how the tour was going, 

his own experiences of 

living in Fallingbostel, 

and dispelling rumours 

about rebasing before 

continuing his tour of 

the Regiment, leaving 

the families to enjoy 

the sunshine and cakes 

at Hectors. 

2 medical regiment CO departs in Style 

Lt Col Simon Orr, Commanding Officer, 2 Medical Regiment, had the 

honour and tremendous challenge of forming the Regiment – the newest 

in the British Army – from its inception out of A (29) Sqn, 1 CS Medical 

Regiment in 2008 and leading it into combat on Op HERRICK 10 just 

eight months later. Such a quick turnaround from inception to operational 

deployment is almost unheard of, and the amount of effort that the Regiment, led 

by its Commanding Officer, had to expend cannot be underestimated. Op HERRICK 

10 was the toughest summer of fighting to date but 2 MED REGT gave an excellent 

account of itself in a fighting season unequalled in violence: many lives were saved 

and injuries minimised in severity by the quick actions and excellent treatment 

that its medics provided both on the ground and in hospitals and medical centres 

across Afghanistan. The actions of the medics and the officers, as well as bringing 

everyone back alive, made Lt Col Orr truly proud to have been the Commanding 

Officer of 2 MED REGT. 

After three successful years in 

command, Lt Col Orr bid farewell to 

2 MED REGT at the end of July. Lt 

Col Orr leaves behind him a Regiment 

that is operationally proven 

with a fantastic family feel and an 

ethos unrivalled by other medical 

regiments. His achievements with 

the Regiment, from formation to 

operational deployment, cannot 

be downplayed. Lt Col Orr was sad 

to be be leaving and named his 

time commanding 2 MED REGT as 

“the happiest time of my life.” The 

Regiment lined the street as Lt Col 

Orr left for the final time, departing 

Hohne Station in style in a vintage 

Cadillac convertible. 

2 Medical Regiment and 

the Garrison would like to 

take this opportunity to wish 

Lt Col Orr all the very best in 

the future.

Visits 9 th /12 th lancers

nEWs rounDuP 

The Royal Colonel-in-Chief of the 9 th /12 th Royal Lancers, His Royal Highness (HRH) Prince 

Andrew The Duke of York, visited his Regiment in support of their participation on the 

Op HERRICK 14 deployment on 27 July. The Duke’s visit coincided with a Families Day, and 

he focussed on meeting the families of deployed personnel, welfare staff and members of 

the Rear Operations Group (ROG). Prince Andrew also met the Mayor of Bergen, Herr Rainer 

Prokop, and signed the Golden Book of Bergen in commemoration of his visit. During a 

private meeting, The Duke of York also presented the family of LCpl Paul Watkins, killed in 

Afghanistan in July, with the Elizabeth Cross – a commemorative emblem given to the next 

of kin of members of the British Armed Forces killed in action. 

Major Lee Barnett, OC ROG, who welcomed the Duke of York to Germany, said: “We are 

delighted that HRH the Duke of York was able to take the time out of his busy schedule to 

visit the families of soldiers currently deployed in Afghanistan. We hope that he got a feel for 

how the families are coping with the deployment of their loved ones and can see first hand 

the myriad of support 

and events that have 

and is still being provided 

to ensure families are 

looked after here on the 

home front, enabling 

the deployed soldiers to 

concentrate on their job 

in Afghanistan.” 

HRH The Duke of York said: “It is an honour and a privilege to visit my 

Regiment here in Germany and a huge pleasure to meet the families of 

deployed soldiers and members of the Lancers’ Rear Operations Group. 

It was a good opportunity to see first hand the vital work the regiment is 

doing to ensure the welfare of all those families whose loved ones are 

currently serving in Afghanistan.”

HRH Prince Andrew The Duke of York accepted a pair of 7 th Armoured Brigade wristbands for his daughters, 

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, from Op HOME RAT Coordinator Fiona Anderson during his recent visit to his Regiment 9 th /12 th

Op HOme raT: Your guide to Homecoming 

excitement is mounting across the garrison as we welcome our 7 th armoured 

Brigade troops home from deployment on Op HerriCK 14 in afghanistan! 

The bunting is going up, and flags are at the ready, but don’t forget to prepare emotionally too – homecoming 

brings with it a host of complex feelings. Re-adjustment to ‘normality’ after you or your soldier has been away 

from home for a long time can be difficult. Partners may feel undermined at giving up control of things they have 

managed perfectly well on their own during the tour, or that the returning soldier is causing upset to family routines, while soldiers may bring 

home difficult memories from theatre, or feel that the family has ‘had it easy’ and won’t understand what they have experienced. Knowing 

what to expect, and having a plan for how you will both deal with issues that may arise during the readjustment period, will help to minimise 

the strain and ease the transition to non-deployment life. 

Homecoming Build-up: 

decompression and pOTl 

Prior to returning home after a deployment, 

soldiers will go through ‘decompression’ 

– a formal break after leaving operational 

theatre – before returning home. This is 

followed by a short period of returning to 

work within barracks prior to taking postoperational 

tour leave (POTL). The process 

is designed to reduce the impact of postoperational 

stress by placing soldiers into a 

structured, monitored environment in which 

they can ‘wind down’ and return to normal 

peacetime routines gradually. It can take 

a few weeks for things to return to normal, 

and communication is key: to help handle 

the changes, talk through any negative 

feelings and give yourselves time to get 

reacquainted throughout this period. 

anticipation and adjustment 

Both deployed soldiers and family members 

may experience a feeling of anticipation as 

the tour draws to an end – either positive 

(eagerness to get home), negative (dread of 

a return that could potentially be filled with 

problems), or a mixture of both. Few get 

much sleep the night before homecoming, 

and children may be more moody or active 

than usual. Don’t be surprised if the whole 

family is keyed-up and exhausted when 

you finally reunite! When a soldier is home 

after the completion of an operational 

tour, it is not unusual to for you both to 

experience ‘homecoming let-down’ or 

‘post-tour blues’. In your minds, you have 

both created a fantasy of how things will 

be, and reality seldom fulfils it. To help 

avoid disappointment, don’t set your 

expectations too high, and keep a sense 

of proportion to your plans. Be receptive to 

each other’s needs, and understand that 


they will probably differ. Soldiers may want 

to stay at home and ‘do nothing’ initially, 

while spouses may be eager to go out and 

make the most of time together again. You 

may want your partner to help around the 

house, and they may not see the urgency of 

completing the tasks. The returning soldier 

may feel surprised or put out that you have 

managed without having them around, or 

jealous that you and your children may have 

become closer and done things that they 

missed out on. Children may wish to spend 

all of their time with the returning parent 

and may make you feel as though you no 

longer matter. Expectations are high all 

around, and if promises were made during 

the tour – on the phone, by e-mail or by 

letter – the person to whom the promises 

were made, especially if they are a child, will 

expect them to be kept. All of these feelings, 

actions, and expectations are normal and 

should not be taken personally. The key 

here is compromise: use a bit of ‘give and 

take’ to avoid arguments and hurt feelings. 

Don’t force issues and try to remain patient 

and tolerant with one another as you settle 

back into life together. 

unresolved problems 

and problem Solving 

If there were unresolved relationship or 

family issues before deployment, or these 

arose during R&R, they are still likely to 

be there when the soldier returns. Try to 

let a period of adjustment take its course 

first before tackling these issues. If you are 

worried about an issue, it will no doubt be on 

your spouse’s mind too, so choose a good 

time to talk after some time has passed. 

Avoid forcing the issue as soon as you walk 

in the door, as this may cause defensiveness 

and confrontation, and could make 

matters worse. Worrying, trying to cover up 

problems, or being defensive is not going to 

help solve issues – the key is to sort things 

out, in an open and calm way. Discussing 

ways to resolve matters is far more 

useful than shouting and finger-pointing. 

Here are some top problem-solving tips: 

• Choose the right moment and 

bring up the issue calmly. 

• Be honest. 

• Avoid blaming each other. 

• Realise that things sometimes 

happen simply because of the 

stress of separation. 

• Work out a solution together 

that you both agree on. 

• Try not to involve the children, and 

discuss matters out of their earshot. 

• Seek help from a professional 

agency if needed. 

• Talk over steps that you can take 

to avoid a repeat of the problem. 

• Discourage family visits for the 

first two weeks – it can be stressful 

having visitors around during the 

initial readjustment period. 

Children and reunion 

Change is at least as stressful for children 

as it is for adults, and a soldier’s return is a 

major change for children in the household. 

Although they have grown in every way 

– physically, emotionally and socially – 

during the tour, children have very little life 

experience and are not equipped to deal 

with stress, so their behaviour may alter 

when a parent comes home. As a reaction 

to changes within the household, children 

may regress to earlier, immature behaviour. 

They may become unruly and misbehave 

more often, or they might even withdraw 

inside themselves. The adjustment period 

may take around four to six weeks for the 

entire family, but you can greatly enhance 

your family’s reunion by developing realistic 

expectations of how your child will respond, 

based upon their age.

infants (Birth up to 12 months) An 

infant has not yet developed much of an 

ability to remember people or events, so 

do not be surprised when your baby does 

not recognise its parent. Small babies 

will cry when picked up by this ‘stranger’, 

which may be upsetting at first. However, 

the child will respond to what is going on 

around them: if the other parent is happy 

for this ‘strange person’ to be around, 

then the baby should also become 

more accepting. Speeding up the baby’s 

acceptance of this new person can be 

encouraged by taking part in activities 

together, such as bathing, feeding and 

changing the baby. Be patient and let your 

baby set the pace of the reunion. 

Toddler age (ages 1 to 3) A typical 

re-sponse from a toddler may be to run 

and hide from the newly returned parent, 

or to cling to mum and cry. Sometimes, 

toddlers can regress to younger stages 

of behaviour or bedwetting. This may be 

more prevalent if the returning parent 

has issues they may have brought back 

from their tour. This ‘new’ person may 

look intimidating to a small child, so talk 

to them at their eye level, and offer to play 

or do an activity. Don’t force the pace, as 

this could make the child uncomfortable. 

‘Out of sight, out of mind’ is normal for 

this age-group, so it may help to show the 

child pictures of the returning parent and 

mention them more often in conversation 

starting a few weeks before they return. 

pre-School age (ages 3 to 5) Children 

of this age tend to think that the world 

revolves around them. With that in mind, 

your child may think that they somehow 

made their parent go away because of 

something they did, or that their parent 

does not love them. If your child feels this 

way, they may feel guilty or abandoned, 

and they may express intense anger as a 

way of keeping the returning parent at a 

distance, thereby protecting themselves 

from further disappointment. Your child 

is likely to try some form of limit-testing 

to see if the rules applied during the 

parent’s absence still apply now that they 

are back. 

School age (ages 5 to 12) Children of 

this age group are likely to give parents 

a very warm welcome, as long as the 

relationship was strong before the parent 

left. They will probably be genuinely 

excited about the homecoming, and will 

most likely run to their returning parent as 

soon as they see them, try and manipulate 

all their attention, and talk their socks off! 

If the relationship was not so strong, or 

was strained in some way, the child may 

dread or even fear the return of a parent. 

They may worry about being punished for 

any misbehaviour that was highlighted 

during the period of absence. The 

best advice for this is to take a friendly 

interest in what your child is doing or 

has done, and focus on giving praise 

for their efforts and accomplishments. 

returning Single Soldiers 

Returning single soldiers encounter unique challenges when preparing for 

homecoming and it can be a very lonely time, regardless of whether you live 

in a barracks environment or in the community. Once you have reunited with 

friends and family, you may experience many of the common reactions on 

homecoming described previously. It is important to remember that there may 

have been changes in your social network and extended family, and it may 

take time to adjust and reintegrate. During your deployment you may have 

stretched your comfort zone, learning to adapt to foreign living and working 

environments, and it is important to consider the potential impact these 

personal changes may have on your social relationships. Family and friends 

may note changes in your appearance, self-confidence, and responsibility. 

It can be amazing how quickly and how significantly friendships can change 

during an absence. Some friendships will be re-established as if you were 

never away, while others will take time to develop, or may fade. Recognising 

that relationships have changed and that it is common to feel sad or mixed 

emotions is normal, and allow yourself time to adjust to the changes. 

If you are in a relationship, you and your girlfriend/boyfriend are likely 

to experience many of the reactions, concerns, etc. detailed earlier when 

discussing the experiences of married couples. Unlike a married couple, 

however, you may have had concerns about your partner’s commitment 

or faithfulness while you were away, or the direction your relationship may 

take now that you have returned. Take the time to discuss any concerns 

openly and honestly. Your parents/guardians may have experienced many 

of the same reactions and emotions that a partner may have felt while you 

were deployed. It is a good idea to share your and their experiences openly 

and honestly with them, just as you would with a partner. Try to understand 

that they are still concerned and worried about your safety and welfare 

despite your age and independence. Developing and maintaining a routine, 

exercising regularly, maintaining a good diet, participating in enjoyable 

activities, and developing new hobbies/interests can assist you in adjusting 

quickly to post-tour life. 

adolescents (ages 13 to 18) If you 

have a teenager in your family, then you 

will probably already have noticed ‘mood 

swings’, which manifest themselves in a 

roller-coaster of emotions. Teenagers may 

be excited about their parent’s return, but 

they could be concerned that they may 

be unfavourably judged or criticised. They 

might try to hide their real emotions to try 

and look ‘cool’. Be aware of this, and try to 

take time to talk to your teen, discussing 

what is happening in their lives, and how 

they feel. 

Help is at Hand 

Changes, even subtle ones, have taken place during 

the deployment for Service personnel, their family, 

friends and colleagues, and experience has shown 

that virtually everyone experiences some uneasiness 

as they readjust to the post-tour environment. To 

cope successfully with change requires that we make 

corresponding adjustments in attitude, thought, and 

behaviour, whether you are the returning soldier or 

the spouse who has ‘kept the home fires burning’. 

As you or your partner transition back to the predeployment 

environment, if you begin to feel angry 

or frustrated, slow down and ask yourself: ‘How 

realistic are my expectations in this situation?’ ‘Am 

I giving myself or others enough time and space to 

adjust?’ ‘Am I trying to force readjustment to happen 

rather than being patient and allowing it to happen 

at a comfortable pace?’ Remember that readjusting 

is a process, not an event. To allow the returning 

military member to reintegrate into their family, work 

and social environments, remember that this phase 

may well take time, patience and considerable effort. 

Be sensitive to stress reactions in yourself and your 

partner, and be prepared to seek assistance if 

necessary. Don’t be afraid to ask for support: there 

are a range of agencies available to help you, from 

the Army Welfare Service (AWS) to Relate counselling. 

For more information, refer to your Op HOME RAT 

booklet or ask in your Unit Welfare Office. Welcome 

home, and good luck!

4 SCOTS: leading the Way in lashkar gah 

The Highlanders, 4 th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland Battlegroup (4 SCOTS BG) 

transferred lead security authority of Lashkar Gar District Centre to the Afghan National 

Security Forces (ANSF) in August. A military parade – made up of troops from the ANA, the 

ANP, the National Directorate of Security (NDS), the Afghan National Civil Order Police (ANCOP), 

and a small contingent of ISAF troops 

including those from 4 SCOTS, the 

United States Marine Corps (USMC) 

and the Danish Army – took place 

outside the Governor’s Compound 

and was inspected by General Abdul 

Rahim Wardak, the Afghan Minister 

for Defence. In his speech to the ISAF 

Contingent, General Wardak thanked 

ISAF for their continued work in 

securing the province and improving 

the lives of the Afghan people. He also recognised the hardships of having to leave family 

and friends and travel thousands of miles to help Afghanistan rebuild itself. After 4 SCOTS 

troops marched off parade, they mounted their vehicles and drove away, with each of their 

vehicles being given a gift of flowers from local elders, a Pashtun custom that marks a 

respected guest. Lt Col Alastair Aitken MBE, Commanding Officer 4 SCOTS, says: “We have 

known for a long time that our 

Afghan Police partners have the 

competence and confidence to 

run security on their own. We have 

already moved into a supporting 

role in the city and its immediate 

vicinity. [This] is a milestone to 

demonstrate the progress that 

has been achieved through the 

sacrifice and dedication of both 

ISAF and Afghan forces here.” 


3 merCian: Welcome home B Coy! 

In September, around 150 soldiers from B 

Company (Coy) 3rd Battalion The Mercian 

Regiment (Staffords) (3 MERCIAN) returned 

home to Fallingbostel after completing a 

successful six-month tour on Op HERRICK 

14 in Afghanistan. The B Coy soldiers had 

been working with the Afghan National Army 

(ANA) and the Afghan National Police (ANP) 

in Helmand Province since February, carrying 

out security checks along Highway 601 – 

a notoriously dangerous road – and their 

successes include capturing the highestranking 

Taliban member ever taken by British 

forces, who was caught during a fierce firefight. Lt Col Giles Woodhouse, Commanding Officer 

3 MERCIAN, met the soldiers at Camp Bastion before they returned to Germany and thanked 

them for their efforts. “B Company has made a fantastic contribution,” Lt Col Woodhouse 

noted. “It has not been an easy tour but they have 

had some notable successes. This marks the 

beginning of the end of 3 MERCIAN's deployment 

with A and C companies coming back in six weeks." 

Well done and welcome home!

Operations, from deep within the dense 

Green Zone to the sand dunes of the 

Afghan deserts. The WARTHOGs and 

men of D Squadron have worked in every 

imaginable environment, interacting 

with the locals (some welcoming, some 

less so) on an almost daily basis, all 

under the relentless heat of the Afghan 

summer sun which in the desert has 

so far reached 56 degrees Celsius (or 

133 degrees Fahrenheit). Needless 

to say, the lads are looking forward to

Ramadan is the Islamic holy month of fasting, intended to teach Muslims about patience 

and spirituality. During Ramadan, Muslims are encouraged to pray more often than normal, and 

those participating fast during daylight hours, which meant that ANA soldiers would go out on patrol 

in temperatures around 50 degrees Celsius without eating or drinking anything the entire day. 

The warriors of the 1 st Tolay (Company) based at Patrol Base 4 in Nahr-e Saraj, Helmand Province, 

undertook their patrols helped and advised along the way by elements of 9 th /12 th Royal Lancers, 

part of Task Force Helmand. Captain George 

Duffield was the Officer Commanding the 

1 st Tolay Advisory Team. “The ANA made 

the decision that they would continue to 

patrol and train throughout Ramadan 

despite the added hardship of their fasting 

during daylight hours,” Capt Duffield 

said. “They have remained focused and 

continue to work hard, which has been 

very impressive.” After they completed

advice for those taking the life in the uK Test 

PS4(A) is aware of a small number of F&C Citizens travelling from Germany and 

Cyprus to take the UKBA Life in the UK Test who, on arrival at test centres, have 

been unable to provide the necessary supporting documents to take the test. The 

examples quoted include producing evidence of a UK address supported by a recent utility bill. This issue has been taken up by the MoD with 

the UKBA. Whilst a solution is sought anyone planning to travel from overseas to the UK to take the Life in the UK Test is advised to pre-check 

the eligibility requirements with the UK Test Centre they plan on using prior to arranging travel in order to ensure they are able to provide the 

appropriate documentation. The current UKBA advice says: ‘You must also bring official proof of your postcode in order to take your test – 

this could be a bank or utility bill’. Visit http://lifeintheuktest.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/htmlsite/booking_10.html for more information.

HEaLTH ask Dr. JEFF 

18 | | HEIDE | OCTOBER 2011 

Every month, Dr. Jeff Macleod 

from Hohne Medical Centre 

answers your health questions. 

Dear Dr Jeff, I have heard that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. What does this mean? 

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. In 2008, 48,034 cases were diagnosed – 99% of which were in women. Breast cancer 

can also appear in men, though this is rare. One in eight people are affected by breast cancer at some point in their life. October is Breast 

Cancer Awareness Month to bring attention to being ‘breast aware’ – knowing the look and feel of your breasts to help you detect changes 

early and seek help. 

Fiona Morrison, an Enhanced Primary Care Nurse at the Hohne Medical Centre, has written this article on how to be breast aware. Fiona 

is completing her Nurse Practitioner training, which will allow her to manage a range of medical problems that were traditionally managed 

only by doctors, including minor ailments, asthma, hypertension, women's health, and family planning, and she will soon be an independent 

prescriber, meaning that she can prescribe medication in a similar way to a doctor. If you are lucky enough to see Fiona as a patient you will 

quickly appreciate what a thorough clinician she is. 

HOW TO Be BreaST aWare 

By Fiona Morrison 

Breast awareness means knowing 

how your breasts look and feel, and 

knowing what changes to look out for. 

Breast awareness also means getting 

into the habit of examining your 

breasts from time to time by feeling 

and looking at your breasts so you 

know what is normal for you. 

There is no formal set of instructions in how 

to check your breasts, but examples of how 

to do so may be as follows: 

- Look for changes in your breasts before 

a bath or shower, using a mirror to view 

your breasts from different angles. 

- Feel for changes in your breasts in the 

bath or shower using soapy hands. 

- Check your breasts when lying down 

in bed. 

Once you are familiar with the usual feel 

and appearance of your breasts, you will 

notice if anything changes from what is 

normal for you. 

COMMON BREAST CHANGES 

Your breasts change throughout your life 

and will be affected your menstrual cycle, 

your age, pregnancy, the menopause and 

the contraceptive pill. It is important to 

remember that changes in how your breasts 

look and feel are not always a cause for 

concern – for example, it is normal for 

breasts to feel tender and lumpy before your 

period. 

During and after the menopause, your 

breasts may change in size. They may also 

feel softer and less lumpy. If you have a 

hysterectomy before the menopause, your 

breasts may still feel tender or lumpy each 

month even though you no longer have 

periods, as your ovaries are still working and 

producing hormones.

For more information, you may wish to visit http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk/, 

http://www.breastcanceruk.org.uk/, or http://www.macmillan.org.uk/ 

During the month of October, many shops in the UK sell 

special pink products, with a portion of the proceeds 

from these items going to support breast cancer 

research. Keep an eye out for these pink items if you’ve 

started your online Christmas shopping, or take a look at 

http://shop.breastcancercare.org.uk/. 

WHEN TO SEEK ADVICE 

See a GP if you notice changes that are not 

normal for you, especially if the changes are 

in only one breast. Breast changes to look 

out for include: 

- A change in the size, shape or feel 

of your breast. 

- Dimpling, puckering or redness 

of the skin. 

- A rash or crusting on your nipple 

or surrounding area. 

- A change in your nipple, such as a 

change in its shape or if it becomes 

inverted and turns in towards the breast. 

- Discharge from your nipple 

(unless breastfeeding). 

- Bleeding from your nipple. 

- Pain in part of your breast or armpit. 

- Swelling, thickening or a lump 

in your breast or armpit. 

These symptoms do not mean that you 

have cancer, just that you should see a GP. 

5 POINT BREAST AWARENESS CODE 

1. Know what is normal for you. 

2. Check both the look and feel 

of your breasts. 

3. Know what changes to look 

and feel for. 

4. Report any changes to your GP. 

5. Attend routine screening if you 

are over 50.

HEaLTH mental Health: What it means for you 

The Army is promoting mental health awareness this autumn, and you may have read the article in Soldier 

Magazine about mental health, but what does ‘mental health’ actually mean? Broadly speaking, mental health covers 

everything from stress to ‘baby blues’, from anger management to depression and even substance abuse. “Getting stressed or depressed is 

a normal reaction to abnormal circumstances,” says Capt Tony Penny, Team Coordinator, Department of Community Mental Health (DCMH) 

Hohne. “Things like the kids playing up at school, loneliness during deployment, or just struggling to cope with what life throws at you can 

take their toll. We would like to remove the stigma that is attached to asking for help, and assist people in accessing our services.” 

Mental health is an important part of our physical and emotional well-being, but do you know how to access mental health services 

here in the Garrison? Here in Hohne Garrison, BFG Health Services has a professional team of consultant psychiatrist, a mental health 

social worker, a mental health occupational therapist, and even a children’s mental health service in place. To access the mental health 

service team, make an appointment to speak to a nurse or GP at your local medical centre at the following numbers: 

Don’t 

� STamping OuT THe STigma 

A new Army campaign focuses on the attitudes among Service 

personnel towards mental health issues. Targeted at all serving 

personnel, both Regular and Reserve, Don’t Bottle It Up aims 

to reduce the stigma associated with mental ill health, signpost 

the support and care services already available and encourage 

personnel to seek help if they need it, formally or informally. 

“Matters of the mind are not an easy topic of conversation,” 

admits Lt Col Tony Rock, the man charged with leading the Army’s 

first ever campaign to tackle the stigma of mental ill health. “People 

need to start thinking of mental health problems as an illness or 

injury, not a character defect. 

“There should be absolutely no shame in asking for help and 

those that do should be reassured that they will be treated the same 

as if they have a problem with their physical health.” 

Current research indicates that the Armed Forces have no more 

of a problem with mental health issues than society as a whole. But 

particular groups within the Armed Forces may be more vulnerable 

to certain disorders and the MoD continues to fund research

Your GP or the nurse will provide a referral to the mental health 

team, who will then contact you to set up an appointment time. 

“We are lucky here in BFG because we have a lower threshold for 

referrals, which means that you can be referred for an assessment, 

even if all we need to do is find out the right person to point you 

to,” says Rosa Waddingham, BFG Health Service Group Practice and 

Locality Manager. The same process applies if children would like 

help, though they can also speak to their teacher, and the schools 

are able to refer children directly to the Children and Adolescent 

Mental Health Service (CAMHS). 

Stress, anger management, adjustment disorders, dealing with 

things that you have seen (including traumatic events), postnatal 

depression or ‘baby blues’, can all be handled by the mental health 

team, and you can also see them for issues such as problems 

with alcohol. “Sometimes we see people who are just feeling a bit 

overwhelmed, and letting it out in one session of talking therapy is 

enough for them to feel on track again,” says Capt Penny. 

The mental health team across the Garrison is working hard 

to break down the stigma that many people still attach to mental 

health issues. “Life is challenging. All of us, at some point, will need 

extra help,” says Rosa Waddingham. “Not everyone asks for help, 

but we want everyone to know that if you ask, the systems are here 

to help you if you need it.” Most importantly, appointments with 

the mental health team are confidential. If you would like further 

information on the mental health team here in Hohne Garrison, 

please email annie.webber100@mod.uk, the General Manager or

studying the mental health of serving personnel and veterans. 

Studies within the MoD that reported during 2010 highlighted the 

need to de-stigmatise issues around mental health, identified as the 

main barrier to individuals seeking help. 

“Soldiers are reluctant to discuss mental health problems,” 

adds Lt Col Rock. “They see it as a sign of weakness, that they are 

letting down their mates, their families, their Chain of Command 

and themselves. Yet failure to seek help could have serious 

consequences, such as excessive drinking or violence, particularly 

in a family environment.” 

Lt Col Rock explained that the Army is now far more aware of 

the impact of mental health conditions on personnel. “Speaking up 

will not affect your career in the longer term unless there is a major 

problem, and for the majority of people that will not be the case; 

this is exactly the same as it would be for a physical injury. When it 

comes to mental health, it’s facing up to the fact that there may be a 

problem that many people struggle with, but the earlier you raise the 

problem the easier and quicker it can be treated. Talking about your 

problems is not a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength.”

My name is Padre Carl Stokes and I’ve 

been asked to share my journey into 

the military with you. I have no military 

background; the closest I ever got was being in the army cadets 

as a kid. Like many, I came from a broken home with all the 

usual hang-ups in life, which got me into plenty of trouble, but at 

the age of 21 I had an incredible experience of the love of God 

that changed my life forever. Within weeks of this, I felt called 

to ministry so that I could spend my life sharing that love with 

others, which I have had the privilege of doing for the last 20 

years. During my ministry I've served as a Children’s Hospice 

Chaplain, a Civic Chaplain and a Police Chaplain (not all at the 

same time!) but it seems that, as far as God was concerned, 

that wasn’t enough. I was happily serving in the community of 

Chipping Sodbury on the edge of the Cotswolds, and being a 

Padre in the British Army was not top of my ‘bucket list’, but it’s 

funny how God has a way of taking you out of your comfort zone 

when you least expect it. 2009 ended up being one of those life 

changing years, with repeated and unplanned encounters with 

several Forces Chaplains, which, I've come to believe, were not 

coincidences but God-incidences. 

It seemed that wherever I went that year I bumped into Forces 

Padres, beginning with a holiday in Devon and an encounter with 

a chap who was just about to become an RAF chaplain, followed 

by meeting the current Chaplain 

General Jonathan Woodhouse at 

a conference. In June my mate 

Richard Ellingham came to visit, who 

was serving as the Bish (that’s what 

the Navy calls their Padres) on HMS 

Ark Royal. He also encouraged me to 

consider Forces Chaplaincy (though 

I think he had the Navy in mind!) 

but bobbing up and down on rough 

seas for six months at a time didn’t 

appeal. Finally in September I went 

to another conference and who was 

there but Padre Cole Maynard, the 

current lead chaplain in Afghan. 

By this time I was sure something 

was afoot, so 2010 began with 

my wife Juliette and I spending 

three days at Tidworth and Bulford 

Garrison on a visit, where we met 

with a number of Padres who gave 

us an invaluable insight into Army 

Chaplaincy. This visit was a real 

turning point for me, and particularly

my wife, giving her a real vision for 

this ministry. She described me 

as ‘coming alive’ as I encountered 

and conversed with soldiers of all 

ranks. This was crucial as I was 

very aware that in many ways it 

is the family who make the real 

sacrifices associated with being in 

the armed forces. After a thorough 

Church and Army selection process, 

I was offered a commission, and in May this year I finally 

joined the Chaplaincy Department, very excited yet full of 

apprehension at the prospect of caring for the young men and 

women who give so much to the security of our nation. At the 

heart of my call is a deep desire to share God’s love with those 

who cross my path and show them that they matter! 

The journey of dependence upon God continues with my 

coming to Germany and serving as Padre to 2RRF in Celle. I have 

encountered, in the short time I’ve been here, incredibly friendly 

and welcoming people, who are down to earth and yet diligent 

and professional. The ministry here is exciting and varied and 

great fun too, though my feet haven’t yet forgiven me for the 

booted runs and 8-mile tabs, but I love the challenge. Being the 

Padre is a tremendous privilege as I get to meet people from all 

walks of life and share with them in 

their greatest joys, like marriage and 

becoming parents, and the saddest
