When you come back from tour, what do you want?
Apart from the obvious
Hubs is due home soon and I'm actually quite nervous!
Do you want a fuss made of you or do you want a beer, a shag. a kebab and an early night?
It's my first tour

Apart from above being in the wrong order, you have got it right
He will probably be a bit quiet, just give time

Don't smother him. Remember he'll want to go out and let his hair down with the lads as well as spending time with you. It will be a bit strange, maybe even strained, but give it time, things will return to normal as you get used to having each other around again.
That said, don't be afraid to gently remind him that although it's him that's been away, you've been through a lot with him gone, and he does need to remember there's two of you in the relationship. This is what I struggle most with, almost transitioning from 'single' life to being in a relationship again.

When I'd come home I wanted to be left alone at first, just quiet time. Shagging is a normal want, also beer and some conversation, but even when I get in these days from Africa I tend to want just 4 walls and a closed door and quiet along with Moragsn Black Label Rum, hahahaha.

I'll ask him.
I remember the Sig Sauer system being introduced to some units in the early 90s.
I was lucky enough to be CQB trained, some years ago, by Jim (an Ulsterman and SAS chap). He was an accomplished combat pistol shot. We were using the Hi-Power at the time, but he had a Sig Sauer P226. He was testing it prior to it being acquired by HM Armed Forces, and was a keen advocate of the weapon.
Later we received the P228 (a slightly smaller version of the P226). This was superseded by the P229 following the identification of a design fault. We also had the P230, which was a similar size to the Walther PPK but used a 9mm (.38 auto) short round.
For the novice and expert alike, an excellent, no nonsense, series of weapons.
Must shoot. There's a baby's head that needs wetting.

Most that require pistols such as RMPs and those Inf that require them are on the SIG P226 and P229A2 now. I know personally of some CMTs who go outside the wire on Herrick who got lumbered with the old knackered Brownings. The Bootnecks now trains all their officers and I think ORs on the SIG P226 and P229A2 as standard.

I was CQB trained at Quantico.9mm Beretta at the time which was also standard issue for the US Armed Forces.
Didn'T like it then and I don't like it now.It was dropped by the USA when testing showed barrel cracks due to inferior manufacturing practices.
I still have two Hi-Powers one of which is rare as it has no magazine safety.
Must say for Law Enforcement purposes the Glock 22 is second to none.
I have three Glocks(In storage)M22,M27 and M37 the latter of which chambers a short cartridge .45.
The"Short"9mm was .380 not .38 although it makes little difference as both rounds are a little light and too fast for stopping a miscreant.

I just want someone to do my washing for me, some decent food, and to sleep in my own (double) bed without being woken up at 4am by some ridiculously loud American aircraft taking off 100yds from my head.
And I've only been away for 3 weeks!

You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
Don't ever count on having both at once.

I think you would have to be a right mong to squeez the trigger enough to fire off the Sig after it as been de-cocked. But I wouldnt want it cocked and in the holster. So bloody sensitive. We used them the other year in Iraq. Much better than the Browning. I think the Sig is now standard issue in the ArmyWe were shooting the sigs the other day, having the weapon de-cocked isn't much of a safety device!
