CAPTAIN Carl Boswell from Tavistock, is currently serving with the Devon and Dorset Light Infantry out in Basra as the Commanding Officer?s right-hand man. ?As adjutent I deal with all the stuff that people hate,? he quipped. He is responsible for manning, career development and importantly ? discipline. Cpt Boswell, 30, said: ?It really isn?t a problem but you must sit on top of any breaches in discipline. You need to be able to trust soldiers more than ever out here. ?If you had a negligent discharge out on patrol and killed a child in the street, all hell would break loose. ?It would destroy the harmonics and atmospherics in the town.? That is army-speke for the good community relations the DDLI have been patiently building up since arriving in April. At the moment he has six soldiers waiting on charges for breaches of discipline. ?I?m putting forward a case file for the soldiers, the offence charge, evidence. It takes quite a lot of time to make sure we are doing it all by the book.? Depending on the nature of the offence, the Commanding Officer has the power to restrict privileges, dock pay, order 60 days? detention, or slow a soldier?s rise up the ranks. ?He basically is God. He can have a big effect on a soldier?s life.? This is Cpt Boswell?s second tour here. Despite the extreme conditions he says he finds it ?challenging and rewarding?. ?I know it sounds like what the army would tell you to say but I believe it. ?The more you see the effect on the ground of getting electricity and water into their homes and stopping the terrorist in the street . . . ?We have rebuilt places before ? Kosovo and Bosnia ? and we can have the same effect here.? The biggest star in his calender at the moment is August 12, when his wife Polly is expecting their first child. ?I can?t wait.?
