What Do You Do? with Charlie MacKeith

Rob - British Army Officer

Episode Summary

"Are you allowed to do that? Are you allowed to drink that beer?" Welcome back to another episode of WDYD and it's a belter. I welcome my friend Rob for a chat on life as an Officer in the British Army. There's insights from Sandhurst and life in the mess, a slice of history on Rob's regiment - the Gurkhas -and a bumper edition of Jargon Buster in which I fail to deduce a single TLA (that's three letter acronym, to you and me) and we learn some Nepalese! As always, there's a Scoop, and we wheel out the Jobometer to find out where being an army officer lands in my extremely official ranking of the world's best and worst jobs.
