A boot camp for life skills

AN Irish army officer has come to the rescue of desperate mothers and wives and set up a life skills boot camp for husbands and sons.

Battalion Sergeant Major Pat Neilan’s training doesn’t involve killing wild animals for food or building a shelter from tree branches.

His unique ‘How To’ session involves equipping the male population with simple day-to-day skills like polishing shoes, ironing trousers (without using an iron) and tying a tie.!
