Found myself in a similar situation in the leb in 2020. It wasn’t nice and I’m sorry you had to go through it. I was lucky. You did your best and should be proud. RIP pal.

My best and memory of sean is when we we're in recruit training back in 2019. A freezing wet day in the middle of the Glen of Imaal. We we're all stood waiting for what we knew was coming, "scratch" an NCO walks up to us and asks us who calls themselves the big dog. We all laugh and wait till sean puts his hand up,and I think you can guess what happend after that! R.I.P Sean a true gentleman 🇮🇪 💙
