NEO POTSANE
I will just to put another matter straight.  I think when you say a seasoned soldier, it would be fair to a person who has just been trained and is prepared and ready and I was trained like about ten days ago and I've not been in the action like for some time, maybe more than ten years and that wouldn't qualify for a person to be a seasoned soldier.  If I would be seasoned enough, then I'd have to go for a refresher course in order to get seasoned.
So I will tell you that I was not seasoned at the time.
