Oh joy, can't wait for the news that everyone is gated in Cyprus or you have to surrender your passports.

Reading the report on Sky News:
Now I may be wrong but doesn't AWOL carry a Colchester jail term and a custodial sentence?

Maybe he's trying to get an 'A' on his SJAR for initiative....

Crazy thing to do and what a massive PR coup for the nut jobs if they get their evil mitts on the poor sod.
He's not awol as e is currently on leave. Will all change if he doesn't return from leave.
Speaking from rom experiance of having an SAC of mine go AWOL the police have no real jurisdiction (IIRC) to bring him back. My lad was left to come back to camp on his own effort, P1 just kept in touch with him and reminded him that the earlier he came back the less harmful it would be for him.

There is a power of arrest for AWOL and civ pol will also arrest if you are stopped for anything as PNC will flag it.
Well if he ends up in an orange onesie, he has only himself to blame....What a plonka, its not our fight ......YET.
Mr SCJ
AWOL or not, you only have to read press reports about foreign fighters joining the Kurdish Militia with the aim being to form a foreign fighter battalion.There is obviously an established pipeline to get these guys in.If you think he will be back in barracks by next week.. You are dreaming.
ISIL now only have one foreign hostage, who is a PR dream for them... And now with the press coverage of this prat, how long do you think it will be until ISIL capture him and we see him in an orange jump suit? After all, the amount of 'white faces' in the forces are minimal at best and it wont take long to single him out and make a concerted effort to capture him. ISIL need more hostages as either a cash cow (France, Italy 'allegedly' paid ransoms) or as a terror weapon by killing them on TV.
Personally, I think the family should have kept quiet about this and let UK PLC sort it out quietly. He has played staright into ISIL's hands.

UK PLC found him on the Iraq/Syria border, got their hands on him and he is now headed back to his unit in Cyprus.
And an infinitely more horrible time awaits him courtesy of the RSM no doubt. He’ll wish he stayed in Syria
It’s worth considering the amount of effort that went into locating this plonker and the guys sent in to get him to safety.
